WAX will let them fall apart backcomb twist and rip or just don't comb your hair don't forget to wash!!
backcomb palm roll rip the roots personally i put bands in mine for a month and that really helped them stay together but then loads of people here will tell you not to do that..but that is what i did really at the end of the day no matter what you do your dreads will fall apart until they knot up.
wash and wait all u gotta do if your dead set on quick results...backcomb and wait you dont want anything to hold your haor together u want it to move and knot and hold itself together
