..I was using heaps of wax daily cause it looked good at the time, I never washed my dreads cause I didn't think it helped at all, I had rubberbands everywhere - gettin em out was an adventure, I cut frizz...which turned out to be really really awful, I now realize that I have been abusing them as well, but now that I have stumbled across this site, I have a nice washing pattern, wax-free (even cut one to check for wax, luckily I am awesome and there's none), most of my rubberbands are gone (theres an unhealthy little wanker or two that needs to be loved), and the frizz is regrowing and locking, since I have found this site I have noticed a huge difference, they are clean, purdy, growing, and ive never loved em more, thanks yal
