So I am taking it down...and some friends are helping from time to time. I have about 7 locks that are totally unbraided, so much so that I can run a brush through them. Here is an update with pics. I'll post more pics tomorrow after tonight's dewaxing round 3.... http://mamamojo.wordpress.com/2008/07/15/the-dreadlocked-mess-momster/
