    whered u hear that??????
    that may help you get severe burns..
    i saw a vid yesterday about making fake dreads (synthetic hair) and they melted em together that way to make em look like dreads

    and saw another awhile back that showed a method of using near boiling water And soap and pressing them (felting i think?)
    but i dunno i wouldnt suggest that..patience is alot less painful then blisters

    Does it have to be sea salt or would an ordinary table salt in water be sufficient as I was hoping to rid myself of wax and then maybe treat my dreads with some salty water to say sorry for my wrong doing!?

    sea salts best
    table salt is ok as long as u make sjure its non iodized most average table salt has iodine added..im not sure why thats bad but i hear every1 sayin u wanna not use iodized for some reason so id stear clear..u can get a big thing of sea salt that will last ya years pretty cheap tho

    people say that washing with hot water and rinsing with cold will help them lock up more. Not sure if it really makes a big difference or not, but I do it anyways.
