Here's a handy hint from Nappy Nina:

"I just wanted to say thanks for the wax I recieved, it's been such a lifesaver. However, I've never been one to read directions, and if I do I never seem to follow them correctly. To Say the least, I've got
waaaaay too much wax in my hair. Well, I looked on the website and didn't think anything could help me (seeing as how I'm stubborn and all) so I took matters into my own hands. Maybe you could share this tip with some other folks with similar problems, because it works for me! All i did was bust out my handy dandy blowdryer, dry each dread baby one-by-one, and as I got done with one I shut the dryer off and went to work. Using only a fine-toothed comb, I backcombed the heck out of them until they turned nice and fluffy, and then palm rolled them so that they weren't so darn scraggly."

Thanks for the tip, Nina!
