Hey everyone I hope everything is ok with you all and that
you are enjoying your summer! I'm so sorry I have not been able to update the
site lately (good thing there is lots of info to keep you busy) I have been so
busy, however I would still like to say thank you for being so understanding. I
just want to let everyone know that our Lady Gaga contest is now officially CLOSED!
The winner of the Born this Way album was Kirsten Kiss, Congrats!
Now, lately I have been getting a few dread questions in my
inbox surrounding wax. The main question is “I used wax, now how do I get it
out?!” this is a bit of a tough one. If you are like me and you made the
mistake of using wax on your dreads then pay attention to this. Depending on
what stag your dreads are in (for me they were only four months old) the process
may be easier or a bit more time consuming. Here is what you want to do and
what you need. 
For baby dreads-
You will need method:
Hot water
Conditioner
Small Tooth comb
Wash out and start over! Its way easier to do this because
your dreads are still sensitive and probably have not fully locked, especially
if you have been using wax. Just shower and wash your hair with a deep
conditioner. Afterward get to work combing out your wet hair. You will see the
wax come out of your hair and your hair may even start to stiffen up if so
drench your hair in conditioner again and keep combing. This whole process only
took me about 90minutes when I had my baby dreads so it’s not very time
consuming-espicially if you have Netflix
For all other dreads-
You will need:
Deep Conditioner
VERY HOT water
Acetone or ‘Sure Clean’ –yes these are chemical however they
are easily neutralised and hair is easily repaired after application with no
long lasting effects.
Baby Powder
Mineral Oil
Fine tooth comb
Well this may take
a bit of time but trust me you will be thanking yourself in the long run. Besides
the old hippie method of using a lighter to melt the wax from your dreads –yes that’s
right open flame to product filled hair, like a boss- we have provided a safer
way of cleaning wax from hair. Roger of Studio 600 says; Apply sureclean or
acetone to the wax and using your fingers try and work at the wax. Once
you break it up and can try and pull most of large chunks away then just
apply mineral oil to all the hair. The kind of hair oil you would find in supply
stores in the ethnic hair section) put head under the dryer to heat up and
then use fine tooth comb to comb this out. Once it has been combed out
apply baby powder to the hair until it no longer turns wet. Then without
wetting your hair just add palmolive dish soap work into a lather and
rinse with very hot water.
