Hey i've had my dreads since december which means my dreads are about 10 months now. I got em made in a saloon (yes i know now it wasn't the best decision) The women who made em back combed my hair, and used some different kinds of wax. Before i went to the saloon i read alot about dreads but sadly not from this site, but from the DHHQ site. Then since everyone suggested wax on their site, i bought some including some other products like the loose hair thingy, rubber bans and the shampoo..
unaware of this site, and what wax did to ur dreads, i used it about once a week until i found this site. And it were actually a coincidence that i found the site, because i were searching some info about the lock docta and then this site popped up saying that the tool was absolutly ****. So i read on and found some threds about wax, and i immediately stopped using it.
Now a couple of monts later (3 or 4 i think) I'm using the bcs/ac wash and its great but the only thing that bothers me, is the thing that i probably still got the wax in my hair, and im worried about if it will ruin my dreads, also lately despite using the bcs/ac i've had some itching and stuff like that on my scalp which i haven't had earlier but it can be because i'm not washing enough, i'm busy atm so sometimes i might skip a week, which i know i kinda bad.... And i aslo got some tiny tiny black spots on like 2 of my dreads, but its like the dread ends, and then there are some hairs that are stuck together that goes on, and in the core of the that there are black spots (dirt). And the i thought mayb the wax caused this? But i have no idea really-...
Also i'm using Orange and Rosemary oil in my washes (depending on what i feel like). I've also tried mixing my own wax removing stuff with Orange oil, almond and then mix it onto my hair, but i dont know if it really worked...
What i'm thinking now is should i keep dreading and hope for the wax doens't screw it all up, or should i cut em off (which i really don't wan't, even tho it could be nice to start over with natural dreads.. But i don't feel like cutting them all off just like that...
Edit: Forgot to add that is it normal that after u put ur hair down in a bowl with the bcs water stuff, afterwards mine tends to get a bit white, before the baking soda were completly dissolved in the water. Is this normal? and just dirt and stuff that gets out or? Could it even be little bits of wax?
Thanks for ur Time!
Also didn't really knew where to put this, so it just ended up here
