i have been dreading for about a month now and i noticed when i sqeezed and kind opened one of my tighter locs there was a white waxy residue , ive been trying alldiffrent dread shampoos just recently started using the one from dreadlockshampoo.com the one for locking new dreads , ive only used that once , i think i used the knotty boy the most , ive never used wax ever , and i do spray my hair with salt water alot.. what can it be and how can i get rid of it , and never see it again. i spray the salt water lightly once a day but it dries fast and i wash my hair about twice a week ..

thanks im just a little worried also about shrinkage and not being able to put them back , but either way you are right 6 months is a long time ill see how they are 5 months from now lol

6 months is a lot of time, maybe your hair will be locked up by your wedding, if not you can always tie your dreads in the back of your head or something.
I have crochetted dreads, i'm currently recovering them, so my advice is just keep it natural, crochette hook is really bad for your hair ^^
