Question about brands and products
***cross posted in other dread communities, sorry if you got this twice***
I'm wondering what everyone's thoughts are on brands.
I started my dreads with Knotty Boy wax, shampoo and tightening gel. Now at three months I have a lot of build up of wax after using it according to their directions. I've stopped putting any new wax in and have washed it four times since then in very hot water. This has melted a significant amount of the wax out, though there is still some build up of it. Upon further research I have found sites which say that their tightening gel doesn't do what it says it does at all. I actually fear that the tightening gel may be buildinng up in them as well. So I am considering switching to DreadheadHQ. I have been researching their products and am so far impressed. I want to try their Lock Peppa, and Lock Accelerator while making knots and a very minimal amount of their wax along with their shampoo. From what I've read on their site it seems that their wax is very different then Knotty Boy's and that their shampoo is superior, not leaving behing the residues that the Knotty Boy shampoo does. However before I shell out $20 for shipping to Canada I was hoping to hear from some people who have used them beofre or someone who has used both.
