they are kinda locked but not from teh middle-down...so I was doing what my dumb hairdresser told me to do : twist...
so once a week I would do the "maintenance" I would get each dread and twist and tiwst until they became this little tiwsted curly thing in my head. And I would "bring" them down in the morning....they looked really tight and curly...but not totally locked
it looks cool for once in a while...but if you do too much you will get lots of loops...
hey..talking about loops, if you get loops...DO NOT open them and then stick the end of the dread thru it...someone told me that that was the best way to get rid of them....but you end up with a knot....it's best to keep them looped for a while and when they are strong enought crochet he loop or back comb it really good
another thing....try not to use wax...wax is just not good...you get a lot of residue,,...nasty...I would use knotty boy tropical gel...it's made of lime and hemp seed oil and aloe... or if you can't get knotty boy stuff, try a good gel that comes off easily with water
but you might only need the few couple of weeks...to keep things in place you know? Now,I don't use anything on my dreads...but the dread shampoo
