dread Wax: Lesson learned. Not even ONCE. *updated with promised photo*
Dread Maintenance
I have to thank you for this post, and the title in particular! All of my experiences with dreads have included waxing when first starting out. So when, after at least 5 years of consideration, I decided to go for it, I did backcombing, waxing, and palm rolling. I did not use a ton of wax, but used it on each individual dread. I finished last night after about 15 hours of work, and then today found this site.I thought, "well, I only did it once, I'll be ok." Then I saw your thread, and this, on top of all of the other sage advice on why not to use wax, drove me into the shower for several rounds of wax removal therapy.Luckily, we have about 13 aloe plants flourishing in our backyard.
I wish there was some way to recover the money spent on the wax, but I guess it's a small price to pay for a lesson learned.Thanks!
