removed locks, but not as easily as product description claims
Reviewer: Jackie from New York   2008-12-27

The Knotty Boy Emergency Dreadlock Removal Kit did manage to remove my six-month-old dreadlocks, but not nearly as effortlessly as the product description claims. The claim that "Knotty Boy's incredible Emergency Dreadlocks Removal Shampoo helps to restore your hair to its original conditoin - easily" (taken directly from the Knotty Boy website) is absolutely ridiculous. Because it look over ten hours, loads of other products (store-bought conditioners, baby oil, etc.), four hands and two metal combs, in order to get my dreadlocks completely unlocked. I followed all of Knotty Boy's directions, but this product did not "condition [my] locks back to their old selves" and quite frankly, I don't know that I wouldn't have had the same results with regular store-bought shampoo and condition that didn't cost me thirty dollars. I won't tell you to buy with confidence, because not to mention, I lost a lot of hair in this process. I know that is to be expected, but I have/had very fine and thin hair to begin with, and I noticed a huge difference in the amount of hair that survived my earlier dreads from the amount of hair that came out of the more recent ones (I dreaded the bottom half of my head about three months before the rest of it). So, if you have fine hair and have had your dreads for more than six months especially take caution, you may lose more hair than you expect. And for anyone who attempts this, I might have just tried regular shampoo and conditioner first, it couldn't hurt. And make sure you have a lot of time and a metal comb.

Glorified Shampoo

I manually locked up my hair over the summer, after being fascinated with dreadlocks and interested in trying something new. I spent countless hours backcombing and applying wax to my new dreads, until they had become tight and solid. But after six months I was frustrated with how sloppy they looked, particularly the lumps from my original hastiness. I debated for weeks whether I should order such expensive shampoo, weighing my options. I finally decided I really had no other option, and placed my order. I was disappointed to find there were barely any directions; only a small paragraph that didn't really explain what I should do. But I worked it into my hair, and followed the directions as best as I could. This product may have softened my hair and removed the wax, assisting in my manual removal of my dreads, but it did not work in the way they claimed it to. This is not worth spending $30 for. If you are willing to spend that much on 8 total ounces of shampoo and conditioner, great, but that is way more than any full size salon shampoo, which would be sufficient. I think any shampoo and conditioner would assist in manual removal of dreadlocks, and I've learned to be even more hesitant when spending my money. Not to mention the scent gives me a headache.

Not so Hot

The products smell and feel good, but I honestly don't know that I wouldn't have gotten the same results with plain old shampoo and lots of conditioner. I followed the directions, but the wax did NOT come out with the shampoo. I spent about 14 hours over 8 days picking at my 6 month old locs. I then spent another 2.5 hours at a hair salon with 2 people conditioning and picking out the rest of my locs. Fortunately I did NOT have to shave my head and although I lost a lot of length from my hair am glad to have it back. Again the products are yummy to use, but I would try loc removal with regular hair care products. The salon used their own products which worked better than the Knotty Boy products.
