I have had my dreads for about ten months now. I used the backcombing method and used wax for the first couple months. After reading the things on this site I am contemplating starting over, but I can't imagine chopping all my hair off. Im pretty happy with the way they look but i like the idea of natural dreads being unique.I just don't know what to do. Does anybody have some good advice?

Big decision
yea like she said theres no reason to cut u can start off doing wax removal and if thats not good eniugh comb em out carefully and let em dreadbut just getting the wax out will help a ton

I agree with knottysleeves =]once the wax is out they'll have some space and you'll probably get that uniqueness you desire =}
yo i jus started mine 4 days ago and im glad this site steered me clear of the wax cuz i was real close to using it... jus wash it out real hard and then grow them that way
I'm not even sure if my hair would dread by itself if I did start over. Befor I back combed it I didn't really do much to my hair and it didn't dread. Just washed it and towel dried it. I never combed it or anything soaringeagle said:

DuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuDe my dreads are exactgly in the same position as yours!!! i started them ten months ago through backcombing and wax. I waxxed for 1 month i think maybe a lil more but i love my dreads man and the wax is coming out over time which means somedays i wake up and they look well different to tjhe previous day!
Last night I decided to see If my dreads had gross wax build up since I used in the past so I chopped off the tip of a really stiff one to see.luckily I found nothing but I still decided to do the wax removal process just in case even thongh it's a major pain just like putting wax in.
