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.

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.

You'll probably only need one. You don't use to much wax with this method, but it's nice to have around to help hold things together.

Twist and Rip
Your dreads will really decide if the bangs are in or out.

There are many different products out on the market that say they are intended for dreadlocking hair, but that does not mean that they actually work. Any wax that has the ingredient of petroleum is bad for your dreads, it will make your dreads feel nasty and it will make your dreads fall apart. There are 3 waxes that are appropriate for dreadlocking hair:
1. DreadHead
2. Knotty Boy
3. Knatty Dread

1. DreadHead- This is the best of the waxes we have tested. Its strong points were its long lasting hold and its lack of grease.

2. Knotty Boy-this wax is pretty good over all. Decent hold. Its main problem is that it's greasier than it needs to be and the hold, while long lasting, isn't that strong. I also think the smell of their wax is a bit much. At first I was like mmm yummy, but after a few hours or so I was like sick to my tummy.

3. Knatty Dread - This is the best loc cream we tested. It has necessary vitamins and nutrients for healthy locs and scalp and it's not greasy.
