OK 1, NEVER USE WAX! If you used it on the outside you'd work it inside just by applying it! Wax IS BAD and should NEVER be used! And it's a pain in the ass to even get out!
2. No matter how you started your dreads it takes time. Up to a yr or more!
3. Wash with Baking Soda, rinse well, (oh, this should be done with warm/cool water) the followed by Apple Cider Vinegar then rinse well. Do a cold rinse for your final. The colder the better. Or get some shampoo from www.dreadlockshampoo.com .
4. Dreads are not meant to be neat and tidy. They will be a mess for months until mature!

thanks a million to all of you for the help!
the rubber bands were only used for the sectioning, i took them out as soon as i finished
NO WAX, got it.
i appreciate the dread wash formula! i will use it no doubt.
but does it matter how often i wash my hair?
what do you all suggest from experience?
and thanks for the advice! i will embrace the chaos indeed! lol
also, is it as bad to have rubber bands at the ends as it is at the roots? or are those ok? cause i have those in still...
btw will it really take up to a year for them to fully mature? or does it vary for everyone?
