I don't have dreads now but I had dreads a couple years ago and my boyfriend has dreads. Better Locks gel is good for twisting. It's very light and has no build up so you can also use it for weekly maintenance between twisting. I don't recommend beeswax or any other type of wax. It's very thick and has a lot of build up. Better Locks also has an almond oil spray that you can use daily for sheen.

Is your hair all natural right now or do you still have it permed?

I use hemp grease or black jell for twisting. I do NOT recommend wax b/c it can stop hair growth and leave plenty build up.

Try using a deep penetrating conditioner. Bone Marrow is a good one. What do you do to your hair? Is it colored?

i use herbalife wax from creme a nature is lite, washes away easily to me and black gel. an i wash it with shea butter shampoo. I used to use natural black soap, thats the best soap to wash your hair with when you now start your hair.
I used indain hemp and natures blessing to grease it at times. lemongrass oil is also good to use.

I wash my hair with shea butter.

I use Organic Root stimulator products (locking gel, scalp treatment, Vitamin E treatment). I also use a Mango hair oil every other day cause my hair dries up QUICKLY.

When I started my hair I use Aloe to lock it. It worked out great.
