You'd need a non residue soap. Ask Heather on this site about what ingredients you should stay away from completely. She'd know best. But you want to stay away from things with coconut oil, and glycerin, and sulfates/sulfites, methylisothoazolinone, Any other thoazolinone's

This is Vicki's page. She's the one who makes the soaps. contact her directly. If there is a tracking number they gave you, call or go to your post office. I'm not sure how it works in Denmark, but they might have stopped it at customs because there's a gel they can't identify or something.
Your locks should be fuzzy and messy. It's just part of how they form. The 4th month is generally the messiest, so you should be a little past that. They will start to come together nicely soon.
Normal soap is a bad idea. If you can get baking soda and apple cider vinegar, use that for now until your soaps come
They will always be messy. Even mature locks are frizzy. If you really need to keep the neat for a special event like a wedding, or pictures, you can get the gel from dreadlockshampoo.com. But I wouldn't recommend doing it on the regular. You need them to be messy for a while. If they aren't messy, they aren't locking.
Still, If you palm rolled at all, it got pushed inside. And just over time, from sleeping and washing and any hats your wore, it got squished deeper and deeper inside
If they are 2 years old, you should never have been able to rip them in half. That is proof in itself that they weren't mature. That is what wax does. You probably could have palm rolled the 2 halves back together and not even known it was separated once.
A mature lock is so intertwined that it would take half a bottle of conditioner, a brush and a few days to separate it. Not one kid in an instant with their bare hands
You're not ananomaly I have a friend who has 6 year old locks that you can't feel the wax in either. It's because the wax is covered up by hair. It isn't on the surface anymore. Now it's stuck in the core of your locks. And it will be harder to remove because of it. And Beeswax is even harder to remove than DHHQ and KB.
Wax will never wash out in normal washes, so you can be 100% sure it's all there. If you were to cut open a lock, you'd see hair as an outer layer with a gooey sticky core.
If you are serious about removing it, spend a little extra time working the remover deep inside and let it sit for a bit longer
That's actually pretty cool. Not sure about sticking something through my locks like that. But it is a great idea. If I think of something personal, do you take special orders?
I agree totally. It's awesome. If it doesn't squeeze your head at all, it probably wont hurt. But if it does slow down your process at all, it's no big deal if you can look great and feel special
What your kids think is way more important than your parents. But in the end it's always how you like them.
I understand that you get frustrated once in a while. It happens to us all. But it's a process that takes some time. Just bare with it. Feeling free is what it's all about.
The process of locking is always a 1 step forward 2 steps back in the beginning. 2 months is practically no time at all. In TnR and back combing that process is greatlyexaggerated.
Everyone who did TnR sees a lot of unraveling before they see any progress. This is completely normal. Sometimes hair does come completely out at first. Don't worry about that.
And the roots in baby locks will almost always be straight for between 1 and 3 inches. When they mature that shrinks to between 1/4 and 1 inch.
Dreadlocks do not form over night. Mature locks, on average, take a full year to develop.
