dread wax why ya don't want it why ya don't need it and how to remove it

both were just taking your money

if u didnt have them put in they would just happebn on theyre own

you may think the rest is wax free but whats insidse you cant see or feel if they are real thin you maybe lucky but if they are 1/2 inch or more thick theres almost a gaurantee they are full of wax on the inside

and ppk have found that to be true from 1 single use 1/4 the recomended amount

i was actually searching for tam patterns to crochet when i came upon this thread and wanted to thank you, i feel alot better about starting my dreads without wax now. im on my first week of my dreads and i was worried that they wont look as good as others ive seen or that they wont knot up as good. i can feel better knowing that my locks will be healthy and not moldy on the inside from wax. thanks, much luv!

haha the wax dreads never lock up right ..and wax is just gross

I am so glad I didn't manage to do any waxing. Which, I kinda wonder, if someone were to use wax when they were getting the locks, and then they never were to mess with wax again, but still left the wax that they had in the hair, what exactly could that do to the locks? Other than slowing the locking process? Would it cause long term damage? Or eventually, after a long time, just come out?

...Text edited due to squid attack....

well thats it one use u may get out completely easily if u do it really quickly i mean within the 1st 2 months most likely

odviosly the more that was used and the longer it was in the harder it is to get out..

long term problems

the cuticles sealed no longer able to function

on the lowest levels

dirt grime moisture polution yuck trapped in it year after year

mich higher chance of dread rot mold & mildew

if regular recomended use for months ..you can actualy keep it from dreading at all for years

1 girl here had i think it was 5-10 year old dreads waxed lel less then recomended but for several months to a year and at 5-10 years (need coffee to remember exactly) the waxed ends were not at all dreaded

find the "my dreads are waning because of waxing" thread its featured i think

it also depends on thickness

real thin dreads are easier to get it outta

also they recomend you melt it in..if you didnt melt it in its esier to get out

i understand but i can see if i used a whole lot i just barley twisted it in but ima quit using it nw..after reading this..an look into some removers like you suggested..

dude you are working on them because wax prevents dreading if the wax was not there youd never have to work on them they just dread

wa will destroy your dreads remove the wax and see every week wax free they dread more then they will in months of waxiness

in fact after 10 years waxed they wont be dreaded only compressed in hardened wax

its evil its a scam and your dreds will be ruined if u use it

But I don't have wax inside my dreads. I had to cut off part of a lock after I got epoxy on it and there wasn't wax inside. It's all about portion control. The inital waxing was 2 grams(about 2 M&Ms) of wax. After that, I just used a little wax when a dread didn't have any at all. After the first month, I did a hot rinse (3 washings in very hot water) to get a lot of the wax off my dreads. Then I started my A-Bmaintenanceroutine and they are locking up just fine. After my locks are matured, I won't use the wax anymore because it won't do anything. Wax is just another way to help dreads mature.
