Ok, So last week me ex-roommate dreaded my hair. How she did it was she parted my hair with rubber bands, and she added wax (dread head hq) and twisted, than put rubberbands at the bottom.
I've been maintainting them every day. I twist and put wax in them. I tried back combing them but they're all greasy now and the comb goes through alot of the times so I stopped doing this. I also use a blow dryer when I'm done
Now, some of them formed at the bottom but are very loose on top. I'm attaching a picture of what they look like, they're pretty loose and not that good. I was wondering if the way I'm doing this is wrong, if these are ever actually going to form into dreads. Also, I was wondering if I should go to a salon to get them fixed, I know of one that does them for $50.
Thank you for the help. Attached is a pic.
