Wax Disaster?
Dread Maintenance
I have just found this website, done some browsing, and realized that everything I have been doing is completely wrong... but am not really sure of what to do instead....Here's my deal: put my dreads in last august with backcombing and wax. Twisted them up for the first month, and did backcombing/waxing mixed with dreadheadhq shampoo (alternating about once a week for each step). I have been told by others NO WAX as well. someone recommended crocheting... not really sure what this is, how its done, if its good or not. I haven't waxed in about three weeks but have washed my hair (still probably about once a week). After waxing or washing I also blow my hair dry. I would like to have a more clean look for my dreads, cause right now they are a frizzy mess at the roots, and hair sticking out all along, and I am about to start a new job. Anyways, point being any clear advice would be awesome! Oh, and I do have this one dread in the back that is like two dreads at the root but comes together to be one dread and can't get it to stay together. (sort of looks like the letter Y)Also if I shouldn't wash with dreadheadhq, what should I use and how often?I really do love my dreads, but recently have thought about cutting them because i dont know how to best maintain them and get such mixed reviews from people about methods. This is way long, sorry and thanks to all who read/respond!peace!
