will my dreads fatten up?

Dread Maintenance

ok 1 you deffinetly need to get the wax out, dependant on how long your hair is, you could soak your dreads in boiling water, ditch all products you bought (if you want to) and the dread head shampoo does not work (if you thought of useing it) if you use a baking soda wash try to use a sea salt spray because the baking soda makes them softer and if you wondering how to do a baking soda wash it's 1 to 2 teaspoons of baking soda to every two cups~~~~~~~~~~~natural might be good for your dreads, just throw out your comb and let it go {:-o but that might not be your thang so I wont push it

how do you make a baking soda wash?

I dont know who it was, yeah it made me mad, but oh well what can you do. they were only a week and a couple of days old, now if it was 1 to 2 year old, or even months old I would have been more mad.

General Talk

im not trying to say that natural dreads are the best way to go(you know like pushing them on you) but, you need to watchout for two things crocheting and backcombing, crocheting is bad news for your dreads because you are constantly maintaining your dreads with the needle, you are breaking your new hair growths and shortening the life of your dreads(I heard that there was this fellow that made a dive into the water and the water pressure took 3 dreads right off) and from experience also, my dreads when I had them crocheted(they got cut off) were like little rocks and after a while of maintaining them they got fuzzyer and fuzzyer and apparently I was doing something called velveting wich pretty much means dread death.and there is also backcombing, first you need to make sure this person knows what they are doing first, and also if your paying this person dont do it, because it can easily be done at home( with a freind) or you can do it yourself. this method I also tryed and from this experience it really slowed my dread processe down(alot) but most people preffer this method and alot of people beleive this is how you acheive dreadlocks.and how I feel about dreads is getting them the old fashioned way just not combing(and pulling them apart so they dont congo) unless you like thicker dreads but anyways back to the point, I beleive dreads become,they are not made like a cheap hat in a factory. dreads are a physical expression of you and out of all the methods I have used natural has made me feel more at one with my dreads like they are apart of me, living and growing, everyday you'll see them popping out in different places and they'll get thicker and with other methods they seem to get thinner and thinnerDown to washing them, WASH YOUR HAIR!!!!!! dont use conditioners and dont use things with sediments and also dont let dreadlock selling companys like dreadhead hq fool you into buying products like the loc docta and they're shampoo didnt work for my hair. you could do baking soda washes and spray with a sea salt solution and that's what I gotta say sorry I wrote so muchP.S don't worry about your dreads, forget they exist and dont worry about every little thing about them they will do what they are gonna do and when you do something to fix them it will take longer for problem get fixed as apposed to if you just left it alone

the whole processe

Dread Maintenance

I am now entering the end of week number one and I am worried my hair is not locking, I don't want to touch my hair because I don't want the oils to get in my hair and might possibly undo the progress I have made and also when and how do I need to start separating my hair
