Can anyone give me one piece of SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN evidence that dread wax fails?

There ya go... I would use pomade before wax... just cause it would look like I had a can of dip in my pocket... making me bad ass.

 

Check youtube. One of the DTers did just this. Or something quiet similar.

 

I haven't read through all five pages, but I'll tell you why I haven't used wax on my dreads.

I LOVE the look of dreads that have not been manipulated. There is a distinct difference between dreads that have been root flipped, crocheted and tidied up using a variety of threading methods, etc. This also includes wax. You do not get the natty look of the dread that I associate with dreadlocks.

I do not know how to better explain it other than there is a visual difference and I want my hair to look natty, not like sticks of manipulated hair.

That's all. =)

 

funny stuff:

That Murrays shit is basically just petroleum jelly no?

 

Enjoy Does It Again!

One Love!

 

Ash and dung my friend. Ash and dung.

 

Really, wax is for aesthetic purposes only. It is just used to hold down loose hairs. Thats the oonly good it does. Then for all the reasons Enjoy and HDH said, its shit. Mould, and the frayed rope analagy are the reasons why. I found wax to be sticky and discusting. I now have black dust in the bottoms of my dreads where dust fell a whole year and a half ago, got stuck in the wax (I didn't even use that much), and traveled down to the bottom of the dread. Dreads do alot better on their own, with the course hairs rubbing againsnt each other, having a shag, than grease coated icky sticky hairs. They won't knot. Simple as. Slippery hairs just won't knot. I don't know how many times I can say it.

Oh and OP, everytime someone makes a point, you seem to say "BUT the wax companies say this and that!!" They are talking BS to get you to buy their shit. Have an open mind to what we are saying. The wax companies are out to get money. We (as a forum) have years and years of experience. Non-waxed dreads not only feel better, but look better.

Try it if you want. But I would seriously consider not putting shitty icky sticky shit in your hair.

 

as far as "SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN" evidence I figure such experiments are pretty low on NASA's to-do-list. I kinda get the impression that you think this is a board dedicated to the hating of dreadlock waxes and products, and you've made this thread just to argue about it. Unfortunately this is not the case, the majority of the wax related opinions here are based off peoples experiences, not hear-say or otherwise. But as I said before, please do use dreadlock wax then come back and tell us how good it is.

 

I have seen his videos before... he started on wax.
Then went all natural.
He also gives props to SE's site.

 

Wow, how vain you must be to be so anal intensive on something as frivolous as a hairstyle, by the way the wax worked fine and my shit didn't look like some one ripped abart my hair with a dinner fork.

I'm glad you got such a rise out of my comment, I suppose you must be easily amused!

 

I think she was alluding to the fact that you didn't use shampoo for the first year, but she forgets that a lot of people on this forum use water only or baking soda/water

 

oh, and if you missed it Yelgath, your scientific proof HERE

 

Oh, well for the first year, I did wash them it was just using bar soap, after that I switched to your typical hair shampoo, sometimes I would even put conditioner on them, all I'm saying is I had nor problem with murrys beeswax, I was looking at some of the pictures in these various dreadlock forums and it would appear them anyone who uses wax may be using way to much, your making dreads not candles in other words.


As for the inside of the dread after extensive long term waxiing in my case it was almost as thought is was one melting together knot of hair, I don't see how calling using wax as unnatural as some people seem to do but ripping grinding, dyeing green and back combing are seen as natural.

Alot of you people are insane and hypocritical without even realizing it.

HDH posted this on the first page. This girl cuts her waxy dread in this one and shows you whats inside, its gross.

 

Scientific proof.

Sounds healthy.

 

if you want scientific proof do this:

dread your hair, wait a year, then go to a music festival. you will have lots of people talk to you that would otherwise not talk to you just because you look like you belong and are cool. people can tell you know your shit and do it up right.

then, after you get home, wash all the mud off and wax your hair. go to another festie the next weekend and those same people that would talk to you and share bowls with you are now going to scoff you and laugh at you for looking like a fucking idiot. it doesnt matter HOW MUCH WAX YOU USE, you will look like a fucking idiot.

not to mention those that use wax make everybody else with dreadlocks have a bad name. the waxers are the reason that people say dreadlocks look dirty BECAUSE THEY ARE!!!! you put nasty shit in your hair that makes nasty shit stick to the nasty shit in your hair!

you break out in pimples because that shit is a cure for not having acne. it makes all your pillowcases nasty, it makes all your hats nasty, it makes the shoulders of your shirts nasty, if people touch them they go "oh....ewe, nevermind" instead of "wow, they are so soft and fluffy!"

oh yea, my hair has crazy volume, it bounces around and blows in the wind instead of those that wax. when you wax your hair sticks straight down from your head, you could jump on a trampoline and your hair wont move because it is glued in place, you look like a doucher!

i dont know about you, but i dont enjoy looking like a doucher.

and if all else fails, and you still need more proof. go to youtube and search "johnny clean"

this guy is the so called figurehead for the dreadheadhq company. he has the worst, ugliest, most funny looking, pathetic, unfortunate dreadlocks i have ever seen in my life.

this is what wax will do to you. it will make you post a picture of yourself on a dreadlock forum and everybody that belongs to that forum will laugh at you and tell you that you look foolish and that you should cut. dont believe me? search through a forum or two.

i could go on but i have to leave for work in 3 minutes which means i have to close my laptop, put my pants on (you know you cant interwebz with pants on) and walk out the door.

 

"Scientific proof" wow.

So you would rather have people think you look cool as opposed to actually having them think that you are cool?

Intreasting, you seem obsessed with impressing other people.

What shallow people you must assosiate yourself with.

I never had this problem using wax, it smelled great in my opinion, and your not supposed to use so much that they are sticky, it's to condition the hair becasue it full of split ends, you obvioulsy have no clue what you are rambling about, but please continue it amuses me.

Do you also believe that for cologne to be effective you must use an entire bottle, how much wax do you think people use in there hair, if you have friends who would put that much wax on top of there heads that it absorbs into a pillow they must be lacking in common sense to a degree that they should sign up for dissabilty.

Again you are wrong, no biggie it seems to happen often.

By doucher do you mean someone who douches?

A female, or was that intended to be insulting?

Does he like them?

If so what does your opinion matter, or are you just that superficial?

Again who cares what others would think even if they put a gallon of wax on there head everyday, if they like it your opinion on them is just that your opinion, and it probably don't matter much to whoever your insulting.

 

Wax was fun; I tried it for mine, cuz it smelled like chocolate and had hemp in it Buuuuut I wasn't happy with em so mah gf helped me re-backcomb them and get some, and we only used a little bit! They then started to smell a bit, looked a little cakey, and felt kinda gnarly and smooth.

I then stumbled upon the Hip forums dreadlock page, found the deep cleanse recipes, and cleaned that shiznit out using acv, bicarb, in some some hot ass water

I also have a friend who tried dreads but cut after a few weeks because of waxy grossness: I wish I had a chance to show him the mythical deep cleanse of lore.

Now I am simply WAITING
:cheers2:

 

Scientifically proven evidence on dreads?!?! what the fuck are you talking about :rofl:
