i am sorry you got took, man. id get my money back.. but all you gotta do, is listen to all these guys cause they know what they are talking about.. that's for sure.

oh and on a side note that isnt how u section hair even for twists...im very familiar with afro hair twists braids etc and when you section it u wanna do something called brick laying, u dont stack sections one on top the other like that u u end up with masses of scalp showing so even if u get you girl to help u t&r make sure you dont stack the sections like that

if u were african that may have worked but it dosnt work on anyone else and yeah if those sections did lock ud have dreads as big as your freaking forearm get your money back that is crap!

Hey Tex, sorry to say, you got ripped off bigtime. Your gf is right.

Those are "twists", which only work if you have coarse Afro/kinky hair. The only thing holding them together in YOUR hair is the wax. And as SE said, the sectioning is way too large.

Most locticians who work with Afro/kinky hair have no clue how to start dreadlocks on other hair types. Hair that isn't naturally textured can't "grab" and lock up when it's in twists. The person you paid is a perfect example of this cluelessness. I'm glad you only wasted $60 and not more!

Wash your hair ASAP and do a wax removal. (Read the guides here for instructions.) Don't worry about saving your dreads, because the twists will just unravel once they're washed (and you'll want to re-do the sectioning anyway), so make sure you scrub as much as necessary to get all the wax out.

Once you're sure all the wax is out, you can start your new dreads right away by going natural, or waiting a couple days for your scalp to calm down and then doing twist & rip or backcombing. Good luck!

Definitely not dreadlocks, man. If you still want real dreads then just brush your hair out and get all that nasty wax out. Good luck to ya, man.

twists only work in african hair
and the sections are gonna make fat dreads you really are beter off just going natural or doing twist and rip yourself
if she charged more then 20 for that id sue her ass haha wow

well dont worry your in the right place to learn how to dread right..which means dread yourself
