You need to use the vinegar rinse. It returns your hair to it's normal PH level after you use the baking soda so it's important that you use it. Oh and hey, not to be a jerk but I'm the same guy that you argued with about natural dreading Vs. Jonny Clean dreads...and guess what. My hair is shorter than yours and I have dreads now so I think that should settle the argument especially since I have to give you advice. =) Only messing with ya. :P I think the reason that your hair isn't holding knots is because it just doesn't want to. Since we have short hair it takes longer for the hair to mold into a certain shape and knot together and get used to becoming dreads and since I started my hair off at nearly bald it just grew into dreads because that's what it wanted. Don't get my wrong though, the top of my head still isn't dreading yet, it's only sectioning and it hasn't really come together yet. But here is what to expect...you go out, enjoy life for a few months and one day you'll wake up with a few dreads and you'll be super happy. Until then just keep coming on here and doing research and getting opinions and advice from SE and the rest of us and your dreads will come out just fine. You also might need more length. Six inches is the perfect length for dreads so you might end up having to wait for a couple more inches. But during that wait you will most likely end up with a couple dreads. At least that is my experience. Happy dreading.

I guess a number of their customers are professions and require (and are willing to pay for) very 'fashionable' dreads. I'm not too keen on that, but their hair isn't my choice. Tho I do plan to really push TnR at least.

Wax wasn't for me nor my hair, but "to each his/her own"...If you feel you need to try it, then try it..That is the best way to settle it for yourself, probably ..Blessings to you either way you go with it..and will love to see your pics whichever you decide to choose... ~Peace~`
