I noticed mine starting to lock at about 3 weeks. In about a month and a half there were like 2 that had really taken off.. At 2 months several were locking and getting a lot tighter and at 3 months, all of my sections stay together and almost all of them [well mostly all] look like dreads. I'd say the 1 and a half month mark would be good to really look and try and scope em out, well for people of color that is. I can't speak for anyone else.
palm rolling way too much

That's gross.. Wax is gross.. my sister actually asked me about my dreads and I told her to never, ever, ever, EVER use wax.. She wants to dread my nieces hair and I just know she wanted to take her to a salon to mess her hair up and I volunteered to help her do them and I told her what wax actually does and she almost barfed..

actualy i think the only reason ppll ever palm rolled to begin with is cause if u use wax nothing at all will ever happen if u dont palm roll..its like molding clay on a spinning wheel thingy
if you dont mold the clay it stays a lump of clay
if u dont palm roll waxy dreads they dont change at all from the day u backcomb
palm rolling crams the hair into wax making them haeder abd harder (but not tighter)

palm rolling is easy, the only reason i think why people actually think it to be a good method for dreading is because they have no idea what a real dread is..we must educate the masses.

yup.. it is a never ending cycle that screws you over so they make money.. its easier to just buy a $2.00 box of Baking soda and just roll with it..
Change~ said:haha sorry, it just cracks me up the crap that some people buy into without thinking any of it though, then once youve been sold a problem, you run back so they can sell you a solution to the problem they previously sold you...lol

I can't even figure out how to palm roll mine, so I just don't bother.. Although my "sister-in-law" palm rolled so much, one of her waxy dreads rolled right off.. My mouth was just hanging open when it happened.. I thought I was being punked..
dread wax is gross but may be grosser then you thought

I just about hurled when I read this.. *shudders
Residue free Shampoo

Yeah my hair is pretty short.. I just followed the directions on the back of the bottle.. Saying to rinse for like 2 minutes.. then I washed 2 more times to get it extra clean.. It still feels great and this was yesterday..

i have that one but i haven't been brave enough to try it yet. i tried the clear anti dandruff one that i bought my son and it made my hair really soft and i did find it hard to rinse out. probably due to the length of my hair though.

i liked how it felt too but had a reallllly hard time rinsing the 1st time i used it i still felt soapy after and in fact got a rash on my neck i think from it staying soapy i then did the anti residue nutragena to be sure ot was out then next tu=ime added a lil tiny bit to my baking sida that seemed to work ok but stikll had to do extra rinsing
i did like how my hair felt tho

It worked for me.. There was a lot of nasty build up in my hair and this got all of it out.. I have been using another shampoo but it was just bogging my hair down.. I dunno SE, I like how my hair feels, looks and smells.. To each his own I guess..

its not residue free i tried the anti dandruf version its very veery hard to rinse i was insing and still felt soapy i added a lil bit tio my baking soda mix and that worked ok
i would not consider them dread friendly however
though the antidandruf 1 is ok to use on occassion for problem dandry=uff i think ot woerm=ks besst as an addative to the bs not on its own
