what do you mean by repair? this is sooo vague :/

Erm... Well they are coming loose and falling out. There are annoying bends which stick out of the dreads, and I know they ain't suppose to be there.

this is all normal... you dreads tighten and loosen over time and are supposed to get big bumps and loops before they smooth out. dreads take time and do not look neat quickly... repair your dreads by leaving them alone and giving them time to evolve on their own.

loops and lumps mean 1 thing..theyre dreading

i think u fell for the johnny clean scam huh u thought dreads should look smooth and neat without any character?
only way to acheive that is to do great harm and well your dreads wont last 3 years
if you want dreads to survive dont use wax and dont "repair" what isnt broken

read the wax removal thread and the dreading the 1st weeks of dreading yea i know your at 4 months..but since u used wax u mighty as well be at 2 weeks not 4 months
