welcome to the site! And good luck removing the wax... keep informing us how it goes!
I feel silly doing this, like my 1st day at a new school or somethin, lol, but f**k it, Imma do it anyway! HI ERRYBODY!! I'm Tina! I'm 32, and currently residing in Austin, happily married to husband, my longboards, and my dreadz. I'm only about 8 months in this time (this is my 2nd go at it), and I adore them! They're ever-changing, doing all kinds of fun twists and zigzags, bumps, and loops, I cannot WAIT until they're all grown up and long! However, I did make the fatal mistake of using wax in the 1st month....I know, I know, I should be slapped for it. I'm sorry. i listened to other people instead of following my gut and NOT putting that shit in my precious babies and believe me, I'm suffering for it. Soaring Eagle directed me on where to look to find the wax remover and I will be purchasing some the very second I get paid to start my treatment!! I WILL SAVE MY BABIES!! They're harder than they should be, and the wax and all crap that it has accumulated is started to seep out to the surface a bit. It freaked me out, I thought it was mildew but there was no smell....I thought that was odd, as I'm pretty good about drying them well! I cruise around for a while on my board dry them after a wash. After a good skate, they're usually almost completely dry Anyhoo, I will be posting pix (before and after wax removal treatment) Happy to be a part of the community, I've been doing all my research here months, and finally joined yesterday so I could talk to Soaring Eagle and all of you! Hope everyone is having an amazing life, as life is truly amazing! CHEERS!
some oils will go sour, so not all are good for your hair. I put lavender in my bs/acv rinse to keep em smellin purdy! No, dampness is the cause of mold. Lavender oil won't help with that at all. I've heard some people say they used Listerine to get rid of mold in their dreads, though! Also, tea tree oil and rosemary oil are great for your scalp! Applied directly onto my scalp, it tends to worsen my scalp's condition, but adding it to my rinses works perfectly for me! hope this helps!
tea tree oil works for me! Not too much though, it seems to much will feed the problem. I put some in my bs/acv rinses and the problem lessens with every rinse
Mine are like that, and I love them! only about 8 months in myself, but they are constantly changing and have so much personality! Personally, I think the bumps/loops/zigzags are beautiful, and fascinating. Don't give up, darlin, nature has a way of nurturing us! <3
don't forget to wash all pillowcases, headwraps, bandanas, etc! Spores will cling to that and regrow!
incredible, my friend! And you wear them so well!
