wax also traps dirt and water so they will mold its no wonder your scared to get them wet
crochet makes them way way way too tight so they are 1/3 the thickness a healthy dread should be (on average ive seen them 20 times thu=inner then they should be) both wax and crochet are just gonna cause trouble and make them require way way way more work
think about it
to dread u never have to do a thing
hair will simply dread on its own
but notw t=that u waxed and crochetted dont u crochet and wax and palm roll and rub and roll and work on them many hours a weeek when if u did neither u could do nothing at all and they just dread?
your dreading by sheer force cause the stuff your doing is preventing the natural drading process from happening
your workimg against tyourself
evebn after u remove the wax the crochet recovery will take a very long time
they wikll get extra fuzzy from all the broken hairs
it will be 6 months to over a year before they begin to dread properly
