I've had my dreads for a year at the end of April, and a dreadlock website informed me that I need to wax my hair on the regular, which I now know is a HORRIBLE idea. Unfortunately for me, I used like two tubs of wax, one of them being beeswax which I also now know is excruciatingly hard to remove.
I recently had my locks bleached and noticed that many of my dreads had dark spots. Upon inspection, I realized that was built up lint, crud and gunk. Eeeew. I don't think my hair has molded, but some of them do smell a bit funny if I pull them a part a bit.
A few days ago, I received my Wax-B-Gone I purchased and let me just say, Soaring Eagle, you're like the dreadlock messiah. I don't know what I would have done if I wouldn't have found that product. The only thing is my hair is so solid, it's difficult for the Wax-B-Gone to reach the core of my hair. I've done an apple cider vinegar/baking soda soak and that helped a bit as well as well as washing with Dawn dish detergent. Should I continue this as well, as I'm going to continue using the Wax-B-Gone until I'm certain it's gone? It's only my second use of your wax removal product and I'm willing to continue it as much as possible.
How long should I wait in between uses? And is the lint in my hair dangerous to my dreads? There is a really good amount of it.
