I might try another tam. Unfortunately I am only getting dreads at the back of my head, I don't have any in the front or on the sides yet. I have a few underneath at the back and 3 on top at the back all around each other lol. Folding a bandana into a band might work, too! We'll see. Thanks yall 
Tie them back with my hair you mean? Yeah. But I thought tying your hair back was not a good idea when you were letting it dread?

are your dreads long enough to tie back your dreads with your dreads?
Howdy everyone. My hair is still in the dreading process. I have a few tangles and less than 10 dreads/baby dreads I'd say. But most of it is non-dreaded. I have a habit of pulling my hair back in the summer time and I know I need to leave it alone. What is your favorite or most efficient [even if it's not your fave lol] way of keeping your hair out of your face or off your neck?
Also, what would you do if you were in the process like me and had an interview? I desperately need to switch jobs, am considering applying for a house supervisor position [supported living], but I want them to know I am serious if I get an interview. I know people with dreads are serious, but there are stereotypes to consider, kwim? T.I.A.!! <3 ~Sara
Nope never used wax. Well not there, anyway. I tried it but it was 90% petroleumjelly and it came right out, only used like a pea-sized amount.
I thought it might be residue from the Dr. Bronner's because when I mix Bronner's with water it gets cloudy, so I figured it might leave a bit of a shine. I will try to get a picture to upload here, have to charge my phone first since the battery is low.
Don't know why but I amjust now seeing these responses lol. I have looked for Neutragena anti-residue... is it shampoo or soap? Can't seem to find it.
What's on my dreadlock looks shiny but it's not coming out with the Suave anti-residue shampoo I've been using, so I'm worried it's something bad. :/
K another question... lol. I have ONE formed dreadlock, and it's got some sort of residue. You can see the hair not right on the outside but a layer or two in is a bit gray/blue and I think it's because I've been using Dr. Bronner's... what can I use to get this out with, and do I have to really scrub the lock? Thanks in advance.
Thanks... I will admit I pulled apart a little because I was worried there wasn't something right about it. lol. Thanks again.
yes! I forgot it. I uploaded it though... :D

was there suposed to be a picture with this so we know what your talking about? haha but ofcourse it will dread
This is one of those I TnR-ed to "experiment" on and I feel like it's just a rat's nest and isn't going to do what I want it to. Should I comb it out and let it be, or will something like this dread? I am asking because the knotting is closer to my roots, it's not at the bottom of my hair or near the middle... I stuck a bead in it because I have a meeting at work tomorrow morning lol
(lmao I'm editing this, forgot to upload the photo... )
