i have just had my dreads done this last weekend, and would like advice on what to do next, like do i just leave them alone until my next waxing or do i need to do something with them.
Basically, I'll just give you a foretelling. Expect a fair amount of people to make posts yelling spasmodically about the evils of wax. So pretty much, they're gonna tell you to get that wax out, start over, and never put wax in your hair again. Oh, and welcome
welcome you should read this- it'll help http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=364273&f=209
out of curiosity.. what method did you use? since you said wax, I'll assume you backcombed since that's what most sites say. don't do anything now... just wash when you feel you need to (no conditioner and use residue free shampoo if you use shampoo) and pull your dreads apart when the roots try to combine (congo) if you want them to stay the same size they are. That's it really. oh yeah... wax is evil.. not needed blah blah blah and all that...
I didn't use wax just left them alone after backcombing. If I had one that started to come apart too much i just threw a bead on it.
Hi welcome. If I were you I'd skip the wax from now on, it's wack. Other than that keep them clean and don't worry too much about them, otherwise you'll just get frustrated, and if you haven't, have a read through the faq: http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=364273&f=209
LOL I got kicked out of one because I said don't use wax people were like "whut? Are you TRYING to kill his/her dreads?" Then I got removed. WTFever. I saw your posts on some of those groups, LMAOOOOOO!
i know. they are such sheep. they're like "well, i dun care if you say all that bad stuff about wax, b/c i'm gonna do what i want and spend money on knotyboy".
I remember when i first came on here and im like "yer i wax my dreads twice a week" LOL That was like a death sentence from SE
