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.

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.
This special offer expires soon.
