Taking out your faux locs can be a time consuming and delicate process, but with the right technique, it can be done. Before starting, make sure you have the right tools on hand. You will need a comb, a spray bottle of water, and a dreadlock removal solution like Knotty Boy Lock Loosener.
Start by spraying your locs with water to make them easier to work with. Then, use your comb to gently separate the locs from each other. Once the locs are separated, you can begin the process of removing them. Spray each loc with the dreadlock removal solution and let it sit for about 10 minutes. This will help loosen the locs and make them easier to remove.
Once the solution has had time to work, take your comb and start gently combing out your locs. You can also use a crochet hook to carefully loosen and remove individual locs. Work slowly and gently to ensure that you don't cause any unnecessary damage to your hair or scalp.
When all of the locs have been removed, apply a deep conditioning treatment to your hair and scalp to help restore moisture and shine. Then, shampoo and condition your hair to remove any remaining residue from the dreadlock removal solution.
Finally, style your hair as desired. You can wear it down or put it up in a protective style. With some patience and care, you can successfully remove your faux locs and enjoy your natural hair.
