Wax Vs. Non Wax Picsss?

nah its not about that itrs about everythuihg else
pushing contrary views might be dumb, but going out of the way to cause fights makes ya an asshole

im not trying to start anything up again ythough just stating that now i realize why hes been 1..just cause i now realize who he is and hes been 1 from before he started to post

 

*shrug* I disagree completely (not about who he is obviously).

 

dudes....

 

agreed Amy,
I don't think BD hasbeen a dick all that much... just stating his opinion, experiences and beliefs.

 

Mama, I just looked at the pictures again and I want to get my hands on your hair and wash it!! I know it's passed, but I just can't believe it. What did the little ones think about mama's greasy look? I'm sure they appreciate the new look much better. My children are just starting to have fun batting them when I bend down to help with shoes, etc.

Amy, Now that my dreads are over a month old and the ends are falling out, I can appreciate why the elastics would really benefit those with straight hair. I'm going for wispy ends, but some dreads now are 1 inch knot, 5 inches straight. lol Oh these dreads are a mystery.

 

thats what mine are!! but about 7 inch not knot =''[

 

i really couldnt tell ya. the one pic with the rounder dread in it was maybe a year old or so when it was cut off. I have no idea about any other details. but really, i dont think ANY amount of wax is ok. i've seen people use "just a little bit" for whatever reason (cause they think it might help in some way) and then wind up regretting it down the road.

and rubber bands.... with my first set of dreads, a few bands had been swallowed up by the hair. fast forward about three years, these little worm-looking things were coming out of the tips of those dreads. with a tweezers, i pulled out the pieces (wasnt just one band anymore, it was all rotten and gross and came apart) and the whole tip came undone. think about not having those bands on/in for three years. those dreads would have been solid. but instead they were undreaded at the tips. i didnt care either way, just saying what happened.

there really isnt anything you can "do" to your hair to have awesome dreads. the less you do, the better they'll be. it's very easy not to do something...

 

Daisy, they really were gross. I had to pour pots of boiling water over my hair on a few diff occasions. Then I had an unbraiding party with friends, used more boiling water, did a cleanse, used orange oil, baking soda, lemon juice, you name it! My hair felt totally normal before I let them lock up again. But the wax seriously ruined a few of my shirts from where my hair laid on my back. The kids dig them now, not so much back then.

 

aww, I can picture this-cute
some of my dreads are the same and they'll be 6mos at the end of April..especially the two front ones-about one inch knot and 10inches plain old hairr! Just think how beautiful it will look when they get long long longgg! At least they're knotting up at top!

 

Do you have naturally curly or straight? It's funny because the two dreads closest to my face are the most dreaded down to the tips. :S There really are no rules that dreads adhere to (kinda like children )

 

If you weren't trying to start anything, why did call me an asshole and a dick?

Big thanks to those who backed me up. Lovin' you all and I can honestly say I'm glad I joined HF because I wouldn't have met all these lovely folks! :grouphug:

 

SE's a drama queen

 

mine are curly and are knotting so fast and soo close to my scalp... it's painful in some places. mostly the dreads with beads that slide around and cause a lot of friction and breakage. i'm having to battle to keep my wispy ends, seriously... some of them want to get sucked in, but i won't have it

 

I'm a bit confused by this. Do you mean that he didn't actually use wax? Or do you mean he did use wax but those pictures showing his dreads being ok and not having been ruined by wax are faked somehow?

 

:cheers2:

 

lmao braying donley...did you change your sig to everybodys "favorite" pic of our "sexy" lil 15 year old friend?
awesome.

 

eeeeerrrraaaaawr hate typos....donley=donkey

 

its photoshop of course

 

Aaaaah I get it now So let me get this straight...you did have dreads and you used wax but it wrecked them and you had to shave them off, and now you pretend to have sweet dreads and no wax problems

or

You never actually had dreads and your purpose in life is to make shit up that's always the opposite of the majority's experience and fob it off as good advice and cause arguments with it?

Finally I get it

 

and brayingdonkey is an even bigger one
