There's some really awesome dread "locking powder" I think from dread head hq... let me find the link...

Here's the link from doctoredlocks.com having it called Lock Pepper http://www.doctoredlocks.com/catalog/Dr ... ng-Powder/
I heard really great things about it, seen it used once and haven't seen the later results yet. Wax sucks for making real dreads - from experience... I wish I had my hands on this stuff back when I had real dreads..
Here's from Dread Head HQs site http://www.dreadheadhq.com/shop/Lock-Peppa.html

Good luck!! And keep em clean! Oil from your head and scalp can loosen real dreads and they won't tighten as easy!
