How can I save my dreads?

Dreading Methods

Hey again guys, thanks for all the adviceI took the rubber bands out, and washed the wax out of thew couple of dreads that were the worst, and now none of my hir has a real waxy apperance or feel to it. I left my dreads in, but this morning disaster struck lol. I woke up and while my hairs still in dreads, all the roots now feel just like normal hair? is this normal? they were all preety bent and zig zaggy aswell, preety odd.just looking for some peice of mind lol, but i'm concidering brushing out now and starting again a different way

sorry just reread your comment, i need to get my hair back to normal right? although i am tempted to try backcombing and palm rolling for afew more days as it seems to be getting a fair bit of wax off on my hands and making them feel sturdier

cheers for the speedy replies guysalright so my best bet is to stop palm rolling? no more! tbh i got abit parra today and spent quite awhile doing it, thye were preety skinny and point after but my hands got a coaked in wax afew times and took abit out, and now they've puffed out abit there's definatly some improvement.and will these sprays completly remove the shape of my dreads at this stage? like will it just look like a loose matt of hair? need it presentable for work, can't really wear a hat.thanks again guys,

Hey all,My names Crook, I lIve in the Uk, I made dreads the other day using knotty boy dread wax and the backcombing method shown in there video. Sadly, I'd never seen this site before today or any real negative reveiws over there proucts, but after spending the last hour reading through your site, I'm shitting myself.I've wanted dreads for absolutely ages and ive spent more than a year growing my hair especially, so i'm preety gutted to find out theres a high chance there going to turn out shit.Currently they look ok, but they really do seem like it's just the wax holding them together, and in the morning, after sleeping on them, some, if not most are pancake flat.I really want to save them, I've been palmrolling everyday since and that seems to be helping, but i've read on here aswell it's a waste of time?I really like them, they're a good size and lenght and i like the spacing, but i want them to last, and lock in and become proper dreads not candlesticks, I havn't used any wax since the innitial dreading and now don't plan on it eversorry i know i'm ranting but you get the idea lol, what the hell do i do from here?
