Why does a cloth become waterproof when some wax is applied on it?

Waxes -especially parafinic waxes are, extremely hydrophobic and so they repel water.Thus when you saturate a fabric with wax the water does not wet the fibers of the fabric and the water forms beads on the outer surface of the fabric rather than penetrating through to the other side.
