First off you dont need to twist anything into your hair bro, the less stuff you put in there the better. What ever that jar of whatever is I can promise you its completely unnecessary and possibly even counterproductive.So she braided the roots and then backcombed the rest of the section? that sounds a little unnecessary to me, I really dont know why she did that. the hair will continue to dread at the root as your hair grows, braids or no braids. Roots are always loose and always will be loose. That's normal and good because the new growth needs space to move around and tangle on its own.You're hair is gonna be doing some wacky things over the bulk of this year. Shrinking, lengthening, zigzagging, looping, tightening and loosening, everything that every other dread head has to go through. Best advise I can give you is to not freak out, accept it as apart of the process and dont try to "fix" anything.From this point on you just have to wash your hair weekly, with a shampoo that's good for dreads or baking soda wash, and just let it do its own thing. you can spray with sea salt to help it tighten and you can wear a wool tam to help em lock too. But mostly you just have to give them time.btw, are those rubber bands I see? if they are dont leave them in for more than a couple of weeks. They have a tendency to melt and fuse with the hair, and you end up having to either leave em or cut them out. really sucks, it happened to me.

watched it again stop using te slime or is ir wax eiter way throw it away ..and wash ytour yair!! if tey told u not to wash your hhair tey odviosly dont know a ting about dreading you musty wash to dreadyou went to a salon? you were screwed..salons are te worse way possible to dread..your probly better off combing out and starting overexpecialy idf thhey used wax and interlockingdreads are te anti salon so ofcoiurse salons are anti dreads they screw you on purpose so tey can keep u a slave

The real issue with salons is that they usually only have experience within dreads "black" hair, they dont take the time required to do a proper job because a proper job can take a long ass time (My hair was 7" when i backcombed and it took me over 16 hours). On top of that they have a bad habit of giving you lame or useless routines and advise. Very few of them have any real experience with having and caring for dreads themselves.

thanks for the help guysthe roots are braided, i will try not using the wax for awhile, its a pain in the ass anyway aha
