The project took an unexpected turn and I’m having to end it early, because my dread was basically ruined. The video is extra long, but the most important parts are probably the first 3-4 minutes, and the final one minute. The rest of it is just me following the rules, and documenting it all.

I do plan on trying this out again in the near future, with darker colored hair. the wax blends with the dread color so you don’t really get the full effect in the video.

Once again, if you want full details and discussion, go check it out on the forums at http://dreadlocktruth.com

There is some debate within the dreadie community about the usefulness of dread wax. The hope is to find out what, if any, damage or difference may be caused due to the use of dreadlock wax. I will be using the wax AS DIRECTED by the major wax selling companies, and both experimental dreads will be exposed to the same everyday activities that my own dreads go through, in order to ensure fair results. This is an ongoing project that I hope to update weekly, so stay tuned!!

But my waxed dread is super linty, especially compared to the other one. (O_o)

Anyway, it’s been a month since we started this thing…I’m about to write out a detailed report that you can check out on the forums at http://dreadlocktruth.com/

And zOMG! I still owe Katie 2 bucks! Go check out her handmade goodies at http://twohills.etsy.com

So that’s exactly what I’m doing here.

if you’re bored of seeing the wax, you can go to 2:52 in the video to watch my surprise wax mini-rant.

One says that you should wax as often as possible w/o making your dread sticky, and another says to do it AT LEAST twice a week. I decided to re-wax after 4 days, when I could no longer feel the waxiness of the first application. This is my second video for this project. Thanks to DT members:
Katie,
Jaime, and
helfish
without whom this project would not be possible. Check out katie’s goodies at http://twohills.etsy.com/
