A little more advice. :)
Help! Save My Dreads
M,kay. So I backcombed my dreads to start them off and then I stupidly used the wax that I bought from DHHQ. I've got no products to help me fully remove the wax but I only applied it on 2 or 3 seperate days and not even to all of my dreads. I mean, all of them got a small dose of the wax. But I didn't wax each dread on the days I chose to use the wax. As I have no products to help me remove the wax from my hair i've been blowdrying and using a paper towel to absorb it and taking extremely hot showers ( To the point where my scalp is screaming at me telling me to stop ), taking out the rubber bands and completley ceasing all unnatural methods of dreading. I do not prefer having to comb them out as there are quite a few but if that really would help, I guess the hours i'd spend doing so would be worth it. But that's why i'm attaching pics to see what you all think. I need help gauging the severity of what's happened with my hair. LUCKILY, i did not backcomb the roots so well as most of them (90 % of them roughly) have slipped loose and the only part that remains knotted is the dreads themselves. I am hoping that my dreads will get thicker as well. The sections range from a half inch to one inch. God I truly wish I had started this naturally. My hair tangled well usually anyways. -.- Regret is an ugly feeling. However, I have faith in the almighty that my dreads can be restored to a more natural state and begin the true journey of locks.
A few things to keep in mind, my hair is semi-thin. I've not had a haircut in about 3 years so my hair was relatively long to start. Also it was starting to recede ever so slightly on the top near my part. But not so much that it was noticeable until I pointed it out.
My locks are part of my vow to Jah Rastafari to transcend the external vanity that is so unbelievably rampant in this world. I am working to reject everything created in babylon, even changing my diet to underscore my seriousness of this new found faith of mine. So it's extremely important to me.
Be as harsh as you need to be when you see the pictures. Truth and Reality go hand in hand and ill need both. Thank you for listening my brothers and sisters.
Love and prosperity be with all of you,
Rastafari,
Fox
P.S.
This is a question more of perspective and curiosity, but will my dreads get any thicker?? I love my dreadlings to death and will not part with them even if they don't get bigger. I know it all depends on the size of the sections, but asI said before my sections range in size from 1/2 inch to 1 inch.
Thank you so much, I LOVE YOU ALL!
