So...I just picked it up from the house I get my packages sent to, and I haven't stopped smelling it since. It is almost a spot on Nag Champa. My Favorite! I'm really excited to use it tonight after i'm done doing some wraps.
Since there wasnt much residual wax in them, they did have a chance to mature in the body of them. it was just the tips that seemed to want to do their own thing again and loosen up. However even the "mature" parts are more flexible to the touch now. 
Peace to you too
It just feels so different, and today i got my nag champa dreadlock shampoo in the mail! Im so excited to use it tonight!
How often would you guys say is safe to do this? I would like to shoot for a monthly deep cleanse like this, but I want to know how often is too often.
it seems my dreads arent as mature now that ive done the soak though. The bottom 1/4 of each dread is now just silky smooth hair after this soak....looks like ive got a lot more waiting to do. Im hoping that doing this will help me see some progress though. Any thoughts?
I used wax I think twice within the week my dreads were backcombed in, but never after I found this site and learned about how horrible that stuff is. I already ordered a bar of Nag Champa shampoo a few days ago from dreadlockshampoo, because I'm back to my obsession with my dreads and want to take awesome care of them. I'm still amazed. this should be proof to anyone that this really works. My locks are much more flexible and even feel noticeably lighter. This is great!
I did my first ACV and baking soda rinse tonight after a year and a half of dreads. I had never done one before, however I've lurked this site since I first got my dread babies. I suppose I knew it would work, however laziness/apathy kept me from heeding the wise advice of Soaring Eagle. Tonight, i have had an epiphany and will never turn back. This is, without a doubt, the cleanest and best my dreads have ever been. Cleaner than the day they begun. I know some, like I was before, may be skeptical of something like this, however, you cannot argue with the visual proof you will see after doing just one soak. Without further ado, I present to you, the water from my second soak in a row. (forgot to snap a pic of the first one, it was REALLY bad) Thanks for your advice, Soaring Eagle, and a big thanks to the dreadlockssite community! I don't know why I ever doubted you!
Sincerely,
KurtK
I tried wrapping it lightly with thread, I tried getting some of the locked hair to move into the skinny part, I didn't do anything harmful to it. 
All i do is keep them clean and separated, i guess it just had begun to break right before the thick part. Too late to do anything now though.
It is time to hold a funeral for one of my favorite little dreads. It was in the very back of my head and slowly thickened up at the bottom but not at the top. I tried several means in attempt to save it, however, when I looked to check it's progress, it pretty much just fell into my hand, sliding off of the few little hairs that kept it attached to my head. It is a sad day in the life of my dreads, but all of my other dreads seem to be doing just fine. Im just glad it happened to one of the back ones so its not as noticeable.
P.S. I might be posting pics later
Why, thank you I'm glad you liked it
