Week 2 of my dreadlock journey. Maintenance advice please?

Dread Maintenance

It could be a possibility. I'll do all I can to make sure I get 100% of the wax out. I'm very very happy with my locks right now that I really do not want to start over, even though they're still very early.

Thank you very much for the advice though it's all very appreciated!

Week 2 of my dreadlock journey. Maintenance advice please?

Dread Maintenance

I'm almost positive it's out. Before when I touched them I could still feel the wax. After the second shower I've felt and seen no trace of it. I put very little to begin with.

When I wash I haven't scrubbed or really even touched the dreads. My hair is just so thin that a lot of the stray hairs just fall out once water touches them. I don't mean to be a bother with all the questions. Lol I just get anxious.

u sure its all out? but scrub just the scalp not the dreads or use the baing soda and dont touch it at all

Dread Maintenance

Okay so I have extremely thin hair, these are 2 weeks old and if I must say so myself, they are looking pretty nice. (Better in person, phone cam sucks). I have only washed them twice and when I do they tend to fall out and come apart... a lot. I have taken ALL the wax out, luckily I only used it for 1 day and it wasn't a lot. Really all I want to know is how to keep them together while washing. Thank you!

New to dreadlocks, advice?

Introduce Yourself

Yeah it doesn't really do much to my hair either. Surprisingly my tips have already starting knotting a bit, I expected it to be the last part. :] I'll just them them do their thing, and keep at it. Thanks for the reply!

pictures? i have thin, fine hair too. its super soft too. backcombing and t&r doesn't stay in my hair. i think the best thing to do is keep your hands off your hair and keep it clean. i'm finally seeing some knotting on the ends of my hair and i'm 4 months in. it's definitely a longer journey for people with our hair type.

Yeah before even seeing the replies to this I kinda figured to stop it anyway, My hair was just too thin so it really wasn't doing much. Haha, if anything I was just eager. But thank you all for the answers. I appreciate it. :]@

Okay so, I just started my new dreads this past Saturday and I suppose they look okay, but I can't really find much to compare them to. My hair is ridiculously thin so I'm having A LOT of trouble getting the roots to lock up no matter how much I back-comb. Also some of the stray hairs that came out won't lock up into the rest. I know I'm very much into the early stages of dreads and they don't look terrible, I've seen worse. I'm just looking for some advice, thank you. :]
