i washed those out after i think 2 weeks.

i got my hair backcombed and waxed. this was taken right when i got home.

i think im done with wax at this point. i pretty much just gradually stopped using it.

Last night I decided to see If my dreads had gross wax build up since I used in the past so I chopped off the tip of a really stiff one to see.luckily I found nothing but I still decided to do the wax removal process just in case even thongh it's a major pain just like putting wax in.

how long doeshair have to be before it starts naturally dreading on it's own?

I'm not even sure if my hair would dread by itself if I did start over. Befor I back combed it I didn't really do much to my hair and it didn't dread. Just washed it and towel dried it. I never combed it or anything soaringeagle said:

yea like she said theres no reason to cut u can start off doing wax removal and if thats not good eniugh comb em out carefully and let em dread
but just getting the wax out will help a ton

I have had my dreads for about ten months now. I used the backcombing method and used wax for the first couple months. After reading the things on this site I am contemplating starting over, but I can't imagine chopping all my hair off. Im pretty happy with the way they look but i like the idea of natural dreads being unique.I just don't know what to do. Does anybody have some good advice?
