**READ ME** - the sticky icky wax sticky thread (wax removal)

I'm going to try this today! Just have a couple of stupid questions -
Does '3/4 c' mean 3/4 cup and, if it does, does anyone know how this converts to english measurements? I've read somewhere that it's 12 tablespoons but that seems like quite a lot.
Also, does '2 T' mean 2 teaspoons?
Sorry to be clueless! Can't wait to try it out.

 

I just do it randomly

 

Yes ~2 T is Tablespoons and c is cup, thanks for tryin and good luck! I don't REALLY measure, just guess........Something else that is really important is the size of the bowl , itt seems that people are ending up with a pasty solution where it should be quite diluted ~ I use a 3-4 gallon bowl of HOT waer

 

sweet, this is just like the mixture i use, but i didnt use baking soda... ill try it out next month

 

I just made and applied this (minus the tea tree =/) and am waiting the half hour (this is the 2nd minute)...by "wrap a towel around" do you mean tight?

 

tea tree oil is wicked for people with dreads. it anti fungal. and it just feels sooooooo nice on your itchy scalp. cause lets face it, we all share some form of itchies

 

im buying these ingrediants in a few weeks i just want to know a few things.

hen u say salt do u mean sea salt? im assuming you do.

next- will this help my hair lock up because my hair isnt locking ATALL its all soft and feels like iv just bloody washed it with the best conditioner on the planet. so i need sumthin like this to sort it out hopefully.

cheers.

 

Yes it's sea salt. and yes it will help lock up, my hair was really tight after using this.

 

kool thats gr8 cosiv had dreads for over 3 months and only like 5-6 of the tips are starting to dread its a nightmare ineed these ingrediants!

cheers

 

will this help clean out wax?

 

to clean out wax all u need to do is get rly hot water but not enuf that it burns ure head and wash ure dreads with it. the hot water will melt the wax out of your hair.

i suggest after doing that use this deep cleaning concoction.

 

this crazy mix helped out a lot, when I rinsed that water was really brown and I've had my dreads for about 3 months now.

 

Yesthis will get the wax out of your dreads. Not instantly though.

Make the solution water as hot as possible. I use a water from a kettle! If you dip your dreads in the bowl carefully, you won't end up with a scalded scalp..

It saved mine. I've done maybe 5 of these rinses, started off doing one every fortnight, now I try to do one every other month.

Definately give it go. You'll see the effect in the water!

Later days

 

so glad I came across this. I'm off to some sea salt and more baking soda. I think that my dreadies are clean but I guess I'll see how dirty they actually are. I use baking soda and lemon juice mix to clean pretty much everything in the house (being enviro friendly) but who would've thought I'd use it to clean my hair? Brilliant!

 

haha kick ass. i still need 2 get tea tree oil for this iv been doin it without it...and ran out of lemon already

 

this works soooo good!! it got absolutely all of the dirt and grease and crud out of my dreads and they feel wonderful now. my scalp doesnt itch or anything. thank you!

 

holy smokes, i'm so glad for finding this!
i will have to mix this up.
for sure.

 

just finished rinsing my dreads out. This actually works kids. It took me about 4-5 rinses in the laundry tub till the water came clean and my dreadlings are squeaky clean. Lush.

Thanks for the tip kyndmama.

 

bumpity bump woot!

 

last night i bleached my hair and then dyed it brown and blue again, and after i was done i rinsed all the shit out and then filled the sink up with hot water, dumped a bunch of salt and tea tree oil in, and squeezed a lemon into the sink. i soaked my head and scrubbed it, and today it is smelling fabulous and looking good
thanks for the idea!
