Is there any way you put in temp dreads, just to see what they would look like? You could use gel and put twist in your hair. Or you could add loomed dreads to your hair. Or make silky dreads. |

| How can I
use beeswax/honey/Aloe
Vera/etc. to dread my hair? Regular beeswax is very brittle, it will be really hard to put on the dreads unless you melt it and then put it in. But as soon as it dries it's just going to chunk off, and leave little pieces behind, that will hold dirt and make black spots in your dreads. Honey is very sticky and it is not very thick so it will just coat the hair like gelatin would and not help hold the knots together in the dreads. It also attracts bugs and dirt. The only thing Aloe Vera can be used for in dreads is to condition them, but it will not help the dreading process when the dreads are new. |

| Is aloe good
for dreads? Aloe Vera can be used in dreads to condition them, but it will not help the dreading process because it will coat the hair causing the dreads to have a hard time locking up. |

| How many jars
of wax will I need? How long will a jar of wax last me? Probably two. You will probably use a jar when you first start your dreads, and then get another one after the third month, and that jar will probably last a year, if not more. |

| How much dread
wax should I be using? Well that depends on what wax you are using, if you are using a pomade wax (like Murray's beeswax, which I do not recommend, they are greasy and they will make your dreads fall apart) you will have to use a lot because it does not hold the dreads together. If you use the Dread Head, Knatty Dread or Knotty Boy you will be using a finger full of wax on each dred (depending on how thick the dreads are and how long they are). |

| How long will
I need to use the dread wax? I've had my dreadlocks for over 4 years now, and I still use wax for little loose hairs, frizzes, and to condition them so they don't get brittle. But you will not have to wax them all the time, once they are about a year old. |
