How do I use the removal kit?
There’s a pretty simple step by step here:1) soak your hair in the hottest water you can handle2) scrub your scalp and dreads with the shampoo 3) rinse out all those bubblies! 4) massage in the removal conditioner (do not rinse out) 5) starting at the bottom of your locks, pick out the knots using the pick on a (preferably) metal tail-comb for a couple inches, then comb smooth 6) work your way up the dread to the rootTIP: hair is elastic when wet, and more maneuverable.

How long will it take me to undread myself?
Well, how long have you had your dreads? How did you put them in? What condition is your hair in? Basically, we're trying to say that there are so many factors that decide how hard or easy it’ll be to unlock, that we can’t tell you. We can estimate this much: a long time. As in, many hours.

Using a diluted little bit of removal conditioner will weigh it down enough to pass as normal! You’ll need to get a trim for sure, but your hair will be in good shape if it started out that way.

Why should I use a Removal Kit instead of regular conditioner?
The Emergency Kit is two parts: the Shampoo is designed to remove our wax, but it also takes care of environmental buildup – and trust me, if you’ve had your dreads for any amount of time, you’ve got some. But it’s really the Conditioner in the kit that’s the magic ingredient – it’s a super slippery formula that coats your hair, letting you pull out those knots with minimal breakage. This doesn’t mean that you can start hacking away with a comb – you can’t attack your hair...
