the contents of wax like vitamin e an whatever can be good for hair but not for Dreadlocks because of all the problems it can cause.are you going to a "pro" usually they can screw you over pretty big with their prices and if they don't really know what they are doing they can sometimes use harmful/detrimental methods that slow down your hair from really locking,how much are you paying? normal would probably be like around 40-60$ from what most people pay, but depending on the ego of some people ive heard it going up to 600$ and sometimes these expensive locks were just mangled hair covered in gel that immediately fell apart to normal hair in a few days/weeks.best thing if you really wanna go to a loctician is to research exactly what method you want/find out what methods they do and tell them exactly what you want,best maintenance afterwards is to just keep your hair clean and separated if they start to congo

decided to go thicker

Introduce Yourself

my post just deleted itself,,but i roughly said as long as its what you want thats what matters, just make sure that if they are going to be thick that you don't let to many congo/combine since you can't go back really. where as with thinner locks you can just always let them combine in the future, sometimes they just sneak up on you and combine be4 you notice.
