I am a product called Stylin Dredz Mouldin' gel wax to start off my dreads. is anyone else using this product and should I continue using this? My dreads are 17 days old (started them for the new year). Once a week i head to the beach and have the sea water soak in the dreads and also every week i wash using dr bronners castile soap (peppermint), dry, and then use the gel wax to twist and set it in a cornrow for maintenance. was gonna continue this for a while till the dreads get a bit mature enough to wash easier without the locks getting undone and use the baking soda and ACV rinse and pick sum aloes and use that in my dreads. need some guidance.

no its a wax i ewould never ever put that in in fact id start extreme efforts to get that out! its a molding wax thats the oposite of anything you want
if your black u want moisture when dry thats all anything thick amd sticky that hardens is bad u also dont want to keep retwisting
wash all that ouit use shae or aloe ot jojoba as needed to moisturize..nothing at all to hold hold prevents dreading free of anything and they dread fast

thanks. I originally was just gonna go with the natural dreading process, nothing but regular washing and let it form on its own. my hair is very curly and soft, I am mixed. can i use braggs ACV with "mothers" to rinse out all the wax? Also after this is done all I use after is the shae, or aloe or jojoba oil? Do you have any natural remedies for dry scalp? I got a severe case of this and would use Top Brass on my scalp to control it
