Hey everyone.I got my hair done yesterday with the twist and rip. The stylist used wax, forgot to look and see what it was.Now knowing how detrimental the wax can be down the line, is there a way to wash the wax out. While keeping the twists together? Don't want the $50 I payed to be a total waste.I was thinking of doing a wash with a stocking cap on..using a cleansing mixture.Thanks

baby dreads remove wax
dont use a stocking cap were they twists or twist n rip
use the wax b gone the 50 u paid was a waste u should have never gone near a salon but coulda been worse some paid 800 and were screwed even worse
step 1 soak in vinager squeeze out all uyu can step 2 scrub with very very hot water and lots of dawn dish soap then use wax b gone
really tho since they are under a mi[onth your best bets starting over id also demand a refund any salon that uses wax should never make a cent

Yea the 50 was a waste homie sorry to tell u. With t n tge dreads will fall apart then theyll tighten up again in te but its a process. Wax just makes it look likr u got dreads but u dont. Dreads need freedom to move, the friction cause the locks to form, wax prevents that. I was in the samw boat, had wax in for 5 months n i took me 4-5 applications of wax be gone from dreadlockshampoo.com. if u got the patience to let them do their thing then stick wit it, if not, thay wax is gonna keep moisture in n evemtually cause rot, n belieeeeve me u dont want that. Best of luck, bless.
I meant to say t and r not t and g
Sorry to hear they used wax, nothing should ever be added. Words of wisdom, wax, gels, lotions etc., even when used once, will attract dirt, lint and stuff into the center of the dread. They will also trap water droplets and cause mold and smells. Please never cover your hair in the shower, scalp gunk, dandruff and dirt need to be washed out of your dreads. Let them be free, wiggle them around in the shower and watch the droplets fall off. Wash hair every 2-3 times a week in the beginning, read the dreaducation page at the top of the site for cool tips on hair care.Lucky you found this site and can start ya new beginning of healthy dreads that will last a lifetime. Lesson: $50 Dreads: $ priceless
thanks everyone. im gonna try and wash them gently.
I washed them thoroughly and I got to say they feel so much better and natural than when the wax was in.
Dreads should be free brother. Ah well, live and learn. Good luck getting that nasty gunk shit out!
I actually washed it today..and do plan on washing it more to get it out. They feel 100x better than they did yesterday. Only issue is its looking a bit crazy up there (3-4 inches of hair) lol. Is there ways to have a "clean" look without wax?
