But do you know if a product made with Pure Honey Wax, Aloe Vera Extract, Lanolin, Rosemary, and Fragrance would attract bugs to my hair? Or make it sticky? Do you know if I'd experience any major problems? I'm trying to get short dreads, not long ones.

  1. Major problems?  Probably not.  But there are a few minor ones.

    Beeswax and honey can be a bit sticky, not normally ideal for hair.  But if the product says it's for dreds, its probably okay.

    And honey as well as some types of fragrance will attract insects.

    Also, I notice you posted this in the Vegetarian and Vegan category.  I thought I should point out that lanolin is derived from the shorn wool of wool-bearing animals (sheep/goats/llamas/alpacas), and "pure honey wax" is beeswax.  Your dred wax is not vegan-friendly, and may not be vegetarian friendly, depending on how strict your beliefs on animal rights are.


  2. I doubt it would attract bugs, although the honey in a hair product is hard to wash out of your hair. Might feel a bit sticky.

    Overuse of hair products can cause hair and scalp problems, such as dandruff, so don't go over the top with it. Don't overload your hair with products- they just weigh it down and can make your hair feel brittle.

    Some hair gels and cosmetics feel a little dry on your hair after applying so I don't use them. Moderation in all things! :-)
