How to Start your Dreadlocks Journey Without Beeswax
Creating dreadlocks without beeswax can be done but just know that will may take longer and requires more input. Here's a detailed guide on how to create dreadlocks using our ' No Wax Dreadlocks:
Step 1: Wash and Dry Your Hair
Start with clean, dry hair. Use a residue-free shampoo to remove any product buildup or oils from your hair. Ensure that your hair is completely dry before proceeding to the next step.
Step 2: Section Your Hair
Divide your hair into sections using a comb or your fingers. The size of the sections will determine the size of your dreadlocks. Smaller sections create thinner dreads, while larger sections create thicker dreads. Secure the rest of your hair with clips or hair ties to keep it out of the way.
Step 3: Apply No Wax Dreadlocks
Instead of beeswax, you can use our natural alternatives to beeswax: No Wax Dreadlocks dreads starter.
Step 4: Twist and Roll
Once applied, twist the section of hair tightly in one direction to encourage the formation of knots. You can also use a clockwise or counterclockwise motion, depending on your preference. As you twist, use your fingers to roll the hair between your palms, compacting the hair and forming a tight dreadlock.
Step 5: Secure the Dreadlock
Once the dreadlock is tightly twisted and rolled, use a small hair elastic or clip to secure the end of the dreadlock and prevent it from unraveling. Repeat the process for each section of hair, working methodically to create dreadlocks throughout your entire head.
Step 6: Maintenance
After creating your dreadlocks, it's important to maintain them regularly. This includes palm rolling your dreadlocks to keep them tight and neat, as well as occasionally reapplying the No Wax Dreadlocks to help them hold their shape. Be sure to wash your dreadlocks regularly with residue-free shampoo to keep them clean and prevent buildup.
Step 7: Be Patient
Creating dreadlocks without beeswax is a process that takes time and patience. It may take several weeks or even months for your dreadlocks to fully mature and tighten. Embrace the journey and enjoy watching your dreadlocks evolve over time.
