oh and get a locbraidout nikkas. once your locs are long enough and keep em for a month. if you never had your hair braided before like me they gon hurt like a bytch but once you take em down you got curly locs. and girls love curly locs idk what it is. you can take em down after a week if you wanted but the longer you keep em braided the longer they stay curled. water uncurls them but other shyt like oils work fine.

real shyt lolI was use to braids and cornrows so after i wash em n they wet i juss braid and twist 3 dreads n spray wrap set mousse Olive Oil on my head
bytchs do be on yo shyts after a braid out and ya dreads got da curls in em
I moisturize with these
And this stuff I got from this rasta spot
But before I rub in it in mix Jamaican Mango & Lime Oil wit warm water in a spray bottle and spray it my hair down, it works pretty well but the moisture doesnt hold very long so I'm open to suggestions
I need to start wrapping mine at night I just can't get used to it, I never even liked du rags when I still wavy

ALL TRUTH
I started back in November of 09. The woman who initially did my hair always used beeswax. I didn't think anything of it because i trusted that she knew what she was doing... flash forward a year later and my fukking hair is falling out like CRAZY just from washing it. It was basically as bad as this (minus the balding) -
DREADS GONE WRONG ! Severe Dread Repair - YouTube
My cousin owns a salon and she helped me out as much as she could, letting me know I shouldn't have used beeswax. After we washed out as much of it as we could, my scalp no longer itched and [what was left of] my hair looked cleaner, felt lighter, and was just flat out healthier
Haven't had any breakage since then and by this Fall the length of my locs should be back to being relatively even again
The BEESWAX didn't cause your hair to fall out...
Look. I come from a family of Dreads. My Aunt got locks longer than her body.
I was probably the first cat to rock dreads in Bham. from jr. high in the early 90s until I was 23. My mom and punk ass daddy got dreads to the smalls of their back...and guess what, all started with beeswax.
Can beeswax build up, yes, absolutely, if you don't know what you're doing and use too much of the wrong product
See, you think all beeswax is equal and its not....
This again is the product of marketing and advertising..
Let you in on a lil secret..White companies own 95% of dread wax that is on the shelf and it is intended for straight hair as well
That's why the petroleum is added to raise the waxing properties of beeswax exponentially because that is what its gonna take to loc straight hair, basically white people's hair...because frankly, that's also the targeted demographic..
Me and my clan used 100% beeswax melted and mixed with 100% cocoa butter.
No wax buildup, excellent locking properties and nutrients for your hair and scalp. Combine that with aloe vera(from the stalk not the shelf) and coconut oil and you'll have the strong beautiful hair...
I aint knocking the newer methods\products to loc hair because quite frankly, they are impressive and making the process a lot easier..
But to dismiss beeswax as a locking method when its been used for at least 100 years is pure ignorance.

Link?The ones i've used for my dreads make me hot and feel like winter hats
There is a shop around the block from were I live,
ran by muslims.
They have them in stock and in a large variety of colors.
I'll ask to see if they have a website,
or I can mail you one.

Co-sign your post.
I hate gels.
Gels would always harden my loc's to hard,
then crust and break into small pieces.
I hated that.
It never loc'd my hair as it said it should compared to using beewax.
The key to using beewax properly is mixing it with other right ingredients.
Great post sir!
Yo we need our own set of dreadhead smilies, more than just :dreadhead: and
If you're going to have your hair maintained in a shop I strongly suggest you get a stylist who has locks or at least had them for several years so they know the experience. It's the difference between a successful lock journey and a failed one.
I made the mistake of going to a different stylist twice when my main was out of town. She didn't have a professional setup; I'm over 6 feet tall and crouching over a kitchen sink to get my hair washed. Then she caked my hair in shea butter/honey while retwisting, and top it off the hair dryer only had two settings (high was way too hot and low didn't dry my hair at all). So I walk out of there looking like I still have shampoo in it for a full day.
Fast forward to when I go back to my main, there is so much gunk/buildup she had to a deep shampoo/condition twice and I lost alot of hair. At this rate I won't be able to get a braidout again until the summer.
