Hi people!!
Introduce Yourself
Thanks a ton for the help. I have stopped using needle and wax for couple of months and don't intend to. Any suggestions on what I should use to wash these locks? Kundalini Rise said:
Wash your hair whenever it smells, or becomes greasy. Don't over wash and produce a dry scalp.
For the loose hairs, gently, palm roll. There is no need for wax or a crochet, and using them will only make you need them more and ultimately become dependent on them to make your hair look like you want it.
In the end, time will perfect them, along with clockwise rubbing, and palm rolling. The more natural, the more natural they will look.
Your dreads look very good, to me, as long as you don't over tighten them with the tools, or put more wax in, you can see a little discoloration but that will wash out with time. They should be fluffy and free, so that wax doesn't get caught and cause build up and "weighted" down look. Or even the "standing" straight look.
Some have that naturally, due to frizzy hair, but they should eventually go with the wind. Have fun.
. my mistake. I also used wax quite a few times.
