How long have you been dreading?
since feb '08
Dreading methods, maintenance, and products used (if you currently have dreads)
started with wax + backcomb and an undercut, stopped waxing after a year, started growing the undercut and dreaded that with twist and rip about the 18 month stage, some are still maturing as i have super straight hair but they're all awesome! but yes, dont use wax, ive tried both, t'n'r definately the way to go, unless neglect is an option :)

"Ouch.. locking gel and root rubbing at 4 years in? The root rubbing will help make you bald. locking gel is deffinitly not needed.. especially being that mature. Let your dreads go friend, they are 4 years old."
