sooo, slowly but surely, i watch my dreadlocks grow, and its like watching a baby grow haha. i did notice however after washing my dreadlocks, after they were all dried, that now that my roots are growing out and doing their own thing, that i can literally where the natural dreads start by the roots and where the wax was used about a year ago. VERY SAD INDEED. i can seee the residue..and it disgusts me. at first i thought maybe i didnt wash the shampoo out enough but then noticed it was definitely old wax...maybe baking soda will eat it away? maaaan.but on a good note, i finally have some dreads reaching a teeny bit past my shoulders. WOO WOO!!!lots of love
