Wax, shea butter, any of these things cause nasty buildup that will make your hair brittle, and unattractively full of lint and dirt over time. This I am specifically speaking toward African hair. As locs mature, you will want to be at a point where you actually don't need anything but a palmroll to keep up the maintenance. If you are particularly anal about your parts, then nothing more than some aloe vera gel and nature's blessing-anything that will wash out easily and condition your hair.

Exactly!!! Clean hair locs much better than dirty hair regardless of ethnicity. And clean hair shows that you have much better hygeine as well which is always a plus

I'm black and I use wax in my hair. It has been very good to my hair, I don't have any breakage, and my hair isn't brittle or dry from it. I just celebrated my first dread loc anniversary today, and I highly endorse ppl to use wax for thier locs.

the reason you should use a good wax on caucasion hair, is because you cant use conditioner and your hair will dry out. It replenishes nutrients to the hair.

sorry but i find that disgusting. It mau work with european hair, however with african hair you can was it once every 3-4 days and it will have locked up within two months. with african hair it actually locks quicker if you clean it well, as leaving it to gather dirt and grime, retards growth and can cause scalp problems. hotep

dreadlocks dont take wax... they take time .. i never used nothing on mine and they are beatifull and perfect.. just dont wash like for 2 months and than wash like twice a week.. and grab a needle and put the hair back into the dreads

its easier to back comb smooth washed hair than greasy hair.. and if you don't put wax in your hair locks up naturally with its own grease.. i did my dreads with nothin but a metal comb and a crochet hook.. don't use wax kids
