looks like you didn't start off with as much wax as I did an mine are a backcombed dreads as well.but yep the roots will dread in time, the only exception to this was a certain bigger dread on the top of my head that one of my friends did a bad job backcombing so I wasn't really sure if it was ever gonna dread since it was about maybe 4-5 inches if just plain hair then dreaded, so about 3-4months later I re-backcombed that particular one , waxed it again, an put rubber bands on it,,, even then all I did was just kinda impede the progress at which point i realized rubber bands were kinda pointless. and the new growth under the bands dreaded and finally stretched to the rest of the undreaded hair.even now though, that section of the dread isn't as strong as it should have been, if I had let it be it would have been as strong as the rest of my newer growth.

newbies looking for some answers
Apparently you all saw the word "wax" and freaked out. It has been 3 years since I put anything in my hair other than BS/ACV and water. My dreads have more than tripled in length and are healthier than ever. People make mistakes in the beginning. Everyone does. Get off your high ass horses.
if you dont remove it its still in there 3 years later u got to remove it it does not wash out
