What helps is to not use conditioner or shampoo for at LEAST a month before trying TNR.. Use Baking Soda and Water to wash 2 TBSP BS to 1 QT warm water.. rinse that out with clean water, then pour 2 TBSP REAL apple cider vinegar in 1 qt of water over to rinse. That will clean your hair and keep it healthy, but not make it slick. It will feel a bit coarser and will be easier to lock up. Also, definately make sure your hands are clean (not oily) and your hair and hands are DRY. If you want you CAN use rubber bands to hold the sections apart and the roots in place for the time you are doing them. After all are TNR'd though.. I would remove the rubber bands from the roots, and place a bead that will fit on ends, near the tips.. so they won't come apart. I had rubberbands in mine to hold them together but they started melting and breaking in my hair, and I had to use tweezers to pull them out. Never again. If this doesn't help.. I can find something else! Oh... please don't use wax! Your hair will be HELD in place, but as soon as that wax *washes* loose,.. so will your dreads.. It doesn't help lock them.. Just gives an illusion of being locked. It's sticky and nasty, too. I threw my wax away.. I will never do that again!

nonono wax wax prevents dreading stop conditioners switch t a dread freindly wash and add sea salt it probly wull start to dread on its own if not then do twist n rip add on a bead or 2

try a clarifying shampoo fpr a week or 2 then let it dread
