Ive had my dreads for almost two months now and I started with the DHHQ method. Ive recently found out thanks to this forum that wax is not a good way to go and need to get it out. I'm pretty sure Knotty Boy makes a wax removal kit. So what's yalls take on it or should I just wash and scrub? Also ive heard stay away from Lockpeppa why? Last question when I palm roll my dreads usually just spilt down the middle what's up with that?
What is in the wax removal kit? I would think that hot, hot water, time and patience would help get rid of the wax. As far as Lockpeppa goes, it helps make backcombing easier and makes it seem as though the dread is getting tighter. Once you wash the Lockpeppa out, it might not be as tight as you thought it was. I'm unsure about what you're talking about when you say your dreads split down the middle.
Thanks for the help HempMama! Well I start palm rolling and the roots stay nice and tight but the body untangles itself. It just becomes straight hair. Any ideas? Also when I wash my hair they become really limb and flat like a wet noodle. Is normal for young dreads?
i dont palm roll..never have so i dunno what to say but probly ya are rollin to agressively? i dunno, maybe ya should just not palm roll? theres really no reason to.. the lock peppa is putre crap..its rosin mostly, that stuff they put on violin bows it will just make your hair all flaky you dont need a thing to dread umm lets see some pics but yea when i wash mine i look like a drowned rat till they dry its noemal for water to weigh them down and make em hang flat shake em out really good after ya wash and leave em be umm id like to hear whats in the wax removal kit (god 1st they sell ya wax then a kit to remove it? fuckin scammers) but from what i hear the instructions i posted in the sticky icky wax removal thread worked well
Thanks for all the tips guys. I'm still trying to figure what to do and what not to so thanks for the pointers. I'll try to get a picture up sometime soon.
what to do be patient seperate (rip) dreads so they dont combine too much keep clean what not to do anything else
