baby dreads remove wax

Dread Maintenance

I actually washed it today..and do plan on washing it more to get it out. They feel 100x better than they did yesterday. Only issue is its looking a bit crazy up there (3-4 inches of hair) lol. Is there ways to have a "clean" look without wax?

I washed them thoroughly and I got to say they feel so much better and natural than when the wax was in.

Hey everyone.I got my hair done yesterday with the twist and rip. The stylist used wax, forgot to look and see what it was.Now knowing how detrimental the wax can be down the line, is there a way to wash the wax out. While keeping the twists together? Don't want the $50 I payed to be a total waste.I was thinking of doing a wash with a stocking cap on..using a cleansing mixture.Thanks

Ready To Start My Journey.

Introduce Yourself

Hey Everyone.

Not quite sure how this, but I guess my name would be the best bet. My name is MIke. an I'm happy I found this site before I made a HUGE mistake. I was about to go with the DHHQ route before I did some more googling, and stumbled here.

Anyway I've always wanted dreads, but I joined themilitaryright after HS so it wasn't an option. Now that I'm discharged I want to go and give it a shot.

I was hoping someone could inform me on what method would be best for the type of dreads that I want. I would like to have a "neat" look to my hair, is there a particular methodthat'srecommendedfor this? Also would like to have medium sized locks, notskinnynor fat ones.

I attached a picture of my current hair length. It's not combed out so I'm sure theres more length to it. I have semi-course Jamaican hair BTW lol.

Thanks for any info!
