New girl on the block...
Introduce Yourself
Hola,I had my dreads ripped and torn and tattered and shredded and torched and anything else you can think of. I think that is the standard treatment here in Costa Rica, or the guy who did them was just really into torture. That was sure how it felt anyway. For the first six months they just looked really weird, now a year in I love them. I never used wax or anything on them. Lots of trips to the beach and lots of covers the first few months. I did do lots of rollin just to keep them separated and somewhat organized. Good luck and if you get them done like I did take somethin for the pain first!
