I am new here, and new to dreads. I'm very concerned - Just got my head dreaded at a salon. Wax and Backcombing. Can I save them?
salon and loctician dreads recovery
well, i just got done soaking my head with distilled white vinegar (just what i have at home), and then just generic dish soap. probably similar to dawn. thankfully the stylist used dark knotty boy wax cuz i have dark hair, so i could SEE it coming out in the shower. i showered twice, and i still feel the wax in it. man. this is ridiculous.
I am new here to this community, as well as new to having dreads. I have wanted them for a long time, and finally made an appointment at a local salon where a gal specializes in dreads among other things. She did use Knotty Boy wax and backcombed and twisted a bit. I have been palm-rolling and trying to do all of the maintenance afterward, but all of the talk of how bad wax is just is making me so upset I feel like crying. I had hair down to my waist, and I didn't lose a lot of length - maybe 1/3 of my hair or less. If I don't put any more wax in (and I haven't), can they be saved? Or will one session at a salon with wax and backcombing ruin my dreads forever?
