Actually i went to a kind of independent boarding school for lower secondary students, and there where a bunch of guys who would collect money and give em to me if i would got my hair/dreads (about the time i got em made)
Ofcause i disagreed, and i kept my hair, but just a fun little thing.. I was the only boy with long hair that have finished the school with all my hair :p

Dirt/Starting Mold?
General Questions
Ehh my dreads are a little over a year now, and i used wax once or twice every second week, in 4 months i think..

I've been wondering about this, what does dawn do that the bc/acv don't?

I have to ask you Eagle... Why Dawn? Just a question I've always had.
Dawn Antibacterial soap is next to useless for killing bacteria. I've done experiments with it and E. coli. It might might have killed one tenth of the bacteria.
I don't know how'd it would work with locks. But the best thing for killing bacteria is Ammonia. You would really want to do this with a whole lot of ventilation. But it's SO much cheaper for so much more. I don't want to tell people to use it right away, cause I don't know exactly how to wash it out and get it all out.
I know about dawn for the wax. I studied the properties of detergents. So that I understand. I mean for mold.
Dirt/Starting Mold?
General Questions
Heysa,
lately i've beginning to see some dirt (i belive) in some of my tips of the dread. I don't know if it's just some bits of dirt, but i might be some old pieces of wax, because it kinda sits there and is stuck in some of the hair.... I did a pretty strong wash yesterday where i soaked em in bc for about 10-20min, then rinsed out and did the acv, with some hot and cold water.. (We have a kind of "Middlehard" water at 17dH) But the wash didn't seemed to helped alot.. My hair doesn't smell bad in any way...
So now is my question, how can i possible get rid of this?
feel free to ask for more (:
And another little thing: When you boil ur dreads to get the wax out, how long time should you keep the dread in the water before squeezing them?

Dread Maintenance
Hey
I usually wash em at about 4 a clock in the afternoon.. And sometimes when im on my way to bed, which probably is about 10-11 at the night, and some of them are still humid and something after several hours..
And some of my tips are blunted but not on purpose, they just blunted themself..
Any advice on this or anything?
