I've tried the bands, they just get gooey and are hard to take out. I guess if you really want them to hold at the tips you could tie a string around them or something, but it's perfectly normal for the last 3in to unravel.

My dreads are just over 2 months old now, so they arent really tight or thick, but this really thick one in the back I've noticed it's harder to get the wax out of.

Yes, it took 2-3 washes to get the film off of my hand. I mainly mentioned the clump falling off because it seemed as though the soap caused an emulsion to an extent.

I recently saw this post about a guy (i think it was a guy, can't remember who) had a good idea for finding a wax remover you might already have.He (maybe she?) suggested you take various soaps from your house and testing their wax removing abilities by putting some wax on your hand,then a little of the soap, and rinsing in water. The first soap I grabbed was Equate Milk and Honey moisturizing hand soap. Just lightly pressingthe soap to the wax made it soft and gooey. Before when I put my hand in the running water, the wax didn't move, with the soap, instantly fell of,another two rounds of this removed the residue almost completely. I tried this on a dread I had clearly overwaxed in the past. Three washes and Ican't feel any wax, and I dint think there's any in the core because there really isn't one because the dread loosened so much. It's been about a weekAnd that dread has already made noticeable progress, i plan on doing the rest today.Ingredients: water, sodium laureth sulfate, sodium chloride, sodium lauryl sulfate, cocamidopropyl betaine, glycol stearate, fragrance, cocamide MEA, DMDM hydantoin, polyquaternium-7, glycerin, tetrasodium EDTA, citric acid, aloe barbadensis gel, mel (honey), lactose, milk protein, silk peptide, hydrolyzed silk protein, D&C yellow no. 10, FD&C red no. 40.

Weird Roots?
General Questions
Thanks, sorry if it seemed like a stupid question. I've always wondered though, how does new growth lock up? I'm not worried that mine won't or anything, just curious how it does.
