Whats the pros and cons? I know that with a Wtg your barber cuts toward your hairline. And an Atg, your barber cuts toward your crown.

I always use WTG. ATG, people say its for when your waves are set. WTG is when your trying to get waves

YEAH BUT REALLY WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT FOR WAVES IT REALLY WON'T MATTER. WHEN I FIRST STARTED I WAS GETTING ATG CUTS AND DIDN'T HURT ANYTHING.

When you cut ATG, your hair will look thinner than an identical cut WTG.  An ATG haircut makes your hair look thinner because you are cutting against the direction that your hair lays down.  These cuts usually stay fresh longer. 
 
When you go ATG, the clippers and guard are actually lifting your hair before it is cut.  If you go ATG, you should use a higher number guard than the one you would use for the same cut WTG.  This compensate for the difference in the way your hair's cut.  On the other hand, WTG haircuts cut your hair from the backside and will make your hair look darker.

I kind of have bald spots that aren't really noticable, but if i get a ATG cut then i'll look like an old man lol So i think im gonna stay with WTG unless im deep ion the wave game, don't wolf anymore, and just want it shorter

I say WTG just because I'm extra cautious when I give myself cuts. ATG has ALWAYS slowed my progress.

well with texture like mine
my hair is pretty long
so even if i get a higher gaurd then i would get wtg it would cut off ALOT more then me getting a wtg cut
so a wtg cut does good for me!
ive gotten a wtg cut a few times before
it was ok, it felt weird cause it was some of the first times,
but most of the time i prefer wtg
ATG leaves ur hair more even

I do both. I go atg first with a #2 guard then clean
up all the loose hairs with a #1 wtg. Comes out
fresh everytime. It's the best of both worlds!

i think that if ur trying to get a good crown and all
that u should go with wtg
then after u get it then atg but still : /

true very true, because I go with WTG all the time and it helps my waves immensely. And with my consistant brushing and getting cut WTG my crown is comin in very nicely. It also makes your waves look more uniform.
