First at all, u should know that is never easy to have them and people never stop BOTHERING!!!!!..but who cares... I have my dreads for 7 months now... and they are great... so the way to keep them tigh is to take care of them and do what ever u think the best are to them...but if you dont know a shit about what to do with them... ask someone. (DAmN!) You have beeswax, wich is very usuful (see the page
www.knottyboy.com) u have beads, to make them more beautiful, and a lot of more...
