I have had my dreads for 2 months. My problem is I didn't go all over my head and dread, I just dreaded the bottom layer under my regular hair... its a nightmare... I can't keep the dreads from pulling in other hair and growing and they also keep joining together to form huge dreads... I was stupid and frustrated so i used some beeswax thinking it would keep them from pulling in my other hair, but now all I have are greasy unmanageable dreads, and very little patience. How do I keep my dreads separated from the rest of my hair? I have slightly wavy hair. I have tried aloe but it doesn't seem to keep down the loose hairs or stop them from joining. I'm just a little frustrated.

get that wax out first thing for sure.
you can try some beads or wrap one every other section/dread so it makes it easier to figure out what belongs where. & just separate often as you need to, if that's a few times a day do it. they will calm down & you won't have to do if as often after a while.
