baby dreads three

Getting there!! We sectioned as we went. Handsome Papa used a combo of twisting, backcombing, crocheting with a teeeeeeny tiny hook, palm rolling, and some needle felting (we're crazy like that). We also opted to rub the comb along a block of beeswax as we back combed. I had my doubts about using wax at all with all the horror stories you read online, but we use beeswax all over our bodies in different lotions and salves that we make. I wash my hair with baking soda water. I have faith in beeswax, and after several days now, there's no stickiness and certainly no loss of dreadage. I've even washed my hair, and they stayed perfectly dreaded.
