Is it ok or not ok to sleep with a tam or or something to keep my hair together at night? I have been wearing an under armour to sleep since day one. For the past 3 night I have been going to bed with out it.
I did a hot water wash a week after I got them in. I wash with dreadhead HQ shampoo. The once on the sides look great but the once in the back are totally wild. I guess its just a waiting game. When rubber bands came off some became un raveled and wanted to be individuals so i just went ahead and seperated them. They sure have a mind of their own. On some that wanted to seperate it is just a very thin strand how do I join them into the nearest dread?
I started dreading back in April started with the backcomming method with wax and rubber bands. Then a month in, I found this site per Soaring Eagle's advice I removed the rubber bands about a week ago. Some dreads became undone after the first washing. I only used wax only thhe first done I had them done and never again did I use wax. Well today I started feeling around my head and noticed that in the back of my head that a few are very loose and straigh. By the way I do not have straight hair my hair is naturally wavy. So I am trying to figure why doI have staright hair now after I washed it and some undreaded and some are starting to join. What shouldI do?
Wow my story is very similar to yours. I started my dread with rubber bands, back comming and wax. I thank this site daily for helping me see the light. It has been a 4 month journey which the first month was the toughest due to the rubber bands and wax after that I stopped using the wax got that junk out of my hair and rubber bands where out. Now they are so natural and everyday is a blessing to see them change and evolve as I am. Great story man your dreads look beautiful.
