I started the neglect method about 3 1/2 months ago and my hair is locking up surprisingly fast (except the back which refuses haha) and I am loving them more every day. I have a few very sentimental hair decorations too. Dreads are just perfect for me and I don't know why I didn't get them sooner. I haven't use any wax, backcombed, or anything else. I can't wait until the day that they are mature, I am prepared to wait.
