What do I do about my dreads?

    I'm always told that they look like shit or that I have to use deadlock wax on them. They're really fuzzy, but other than that they're really well formed. I backcombed them, which I hear is looked down upon on this forum, but I really wanted them fast. :(

    I would post an image, but when I tried the picture was bigger than my screen and I couldn't figure out how to scale it down.

    i don't think backcombing is looked down upon here? wax certainly is, which it should be, but plenty of people here backcombed their dreads at some point.

    Aloe Vera? In what form? Is there a cream I buy or should I just go downstairs and steal my mom's Aloe Vera plant? :eek:

    Do you palm roll them? When mine started out and were a little frizzy, I would palm roll after I washed and it helped some.

    Don't give in to wax in hopes of it fixing your hair.

    just use aloe. you can use it from the plant or go find 100% pure aloe vera gel. use a bit on your hair and it will tame them frizzies down.

    your locks look fine though, frizzy hair locks faster too!

    Toejam, I don't do drugs...At all, I just have the unfortunate trait of having ENORMOUS eyes/pupils and a tendency to not blink a lot, which makes people think I'm stoned out of my mind. :p

    I think your dreads look great, personally I dont think their is a 'right or wrong' way to make them.Or a 'right or wrong' way that they should look like.
    Everyone is different and everyone has different hair types so obviously everyones dreads look different.
    I also think its actually pretty rude of ppl to say that they look like shit?????
    Dont listen to them!!!!
