dread wax remover is ready!

Dread Products

So awesome! I've been humming and haw-ing about getting wax removal.. tried the dishsoap... boiling/hot water... orange oil. Finally got the all natural remover and I've used it twice now. while my hair does seem a little bit dried out (probably a nice soak in warm water bath and coconut oil can help that) I can definately see and feel a difference. I have no idea how it worked and could not see any wax coming out, but my dreadies are wayy less stiff, they're more bendy and soft. I am happy to have invested in this! the one thing I will have to after having used wax only twice in the beginning. all natural from now on. Thanks so much!

are you interested in alternative health practices?

Business Owner with Dreadlocks?

dreads jobs employment issues

I graduated in March and am trying to start my practice as a Wholistic Nutritionist. I worked at a yoga studio in the summer and then moved at the end of August and am working on my apprenticeship. I have a long distance consultation practice available online (simply-love-food.ca)

I need some rent and food money, and want to work a couple days a week while I start my practice. but I can't seem to find a job in the city I am right now, even places that advertise "Help Wanted"

My family thinks that my hair is holding me back. I tie them back into a bun or wear a scarf if I talk to potential employers.

Could it really be that people wouldn't want to hire someone because of a hairstyle? Should I worry that my hair might hold my business back in the future?

General Questions

hi everybody! I love you!

I have been looking at this site for quite some time now and finally became a member. my dreads' 1st birthday is coming up in july. they were done by backcomb/crochet method (i know.... i know) and i used wax twice (i know... i know...) within the 2 weeks after getting them done. then i found you guys and stopped! i also switched to the ACV/BkSda wash/soak once a week. i know there is still some wax in there and I am willing to invest in the bodysplash oil that everyone is hailing, however my concern is that because my dreads are so tight and thin that it will be hard to get the product really IN there to get the wax out. any comments or similar experiences? my dreads' width is about the size of half my pinky, so they are pretty small. will it just take a few rounds and soaking? i am willing to invest the time. any comments you have are greatly appreciated.

i've included 2 horrible photos so that you can (sort of..maybe) get the gist of what I've got.

also, is it cheaper for someone to sell the product to me or for me to buy it myself and become a member even though i' won't buy anything from that site after this (i don't buy stuff off the internet world, ever. but this time i make exception) let me know if it is and you can sell it to me i'm in bc, canada.

thank you, brothers and sisters.

peace and love--

Mature dreads--What's your routine?

It's nice to put a bit of coconut oil in the bath water (with bs/acv if you like)and soak them. if they are dry (which they have been this hot summer!)I find I really like to do this.

I had waxed all my dreads 3 times and had used the whole container of remover. they got much softer, so I felt safe

I did not cut mine like Bene had to - I stopped waxing the second I found this site. Recently I just used the magic wax removal product and have been growing them ever since - 2 years this July! These were waxed at the start, but look at 'em now!!! (before and after pics) long and I love them. celebratory share!
