Patience or Impatience
Introduce Yourself
So I guess I am looking for words of encouragement. I got my hair twisted by mom who used very little wax in my hair.(I am black with about 4" hair)I found this site and quickly stop using. used it once. the part that is bothering me is when i go to sleep i wake up and the twists are gone. some are staying but i will have a group of hair that there is nothing there. I know that I have a journey ahead of me. I am not to concerned with walking around with frizz are anything but when there are patches of hair just chill'n not doing anything..... i dont know it just bothers me. I will guess i will have to learn how to deal. I was told by SE not to wear anything on my head when I sleep. But i did notice that when i did sleep with something on the twist did stay. so i am not sure, Also there are parts of my hair that are staying and starting to some what loc. i want to be natural with my locks but want some control over them.

well i am going to have to wait until i can get some cash for some residue free shampoo and conditioner.I want to wash now, i read i can use regular soap.(what you would shower with) For right now would I also be able to just run water. I know not to scrub right? It is a gentle wash right? I also have tea tree oil. Should I put some of that in my hair?Any good advice is nice.

Well I tried asking a few question about twisting and wax. For the most part I got my answer, but it turned onto a huge fight over nothing. One love, but anyways onto my question. I am wondering how soon should i wash my hair. I have been doing research and read many different things. I am wanting the advice of someone who has African American hair. I will take advice from anyone. I just want to hear first hand of someone with my hair type. My dreads are 4 days old.

Twist and Gel and Wax question
Introduce Yourself
So I was wondering with African American hair should i be using any kind of gel or wax in my hair? My second question is my hair grows more straight on one side and does not want to stay in a twist. So I used rubber bands to help them stay in a twist. Any ideas on how to keep them down?
