You can unravel the locks that are giving birth to a new lock and the re-lock your hair again……it’s a miracle.

My hair is still well past my shoulders and absolutely healthy.

In fact, it takes anywhere from 10-20 minutes to remove each loc; depending on the length and thickness of your locs.

Hair grooming, no matter how natural or gently the process can causes stress to your hair.

To safely unlock your hair, saturate each loc with the Take Down Removal Cream. The amount depends on the length and thickness of the loc.

Even if your locks are young, The cream softens the loc and minimizes breakage. Remember, your shredded hair is part of the loc. Therefore, when you unravel your loc, this hair will come out.

There is also oil, shampoo or dust locked into your hair. This build up will come out too.

However, the majority of your hair will remain.
Give yourself a week or two to remove your locks, doing as many as possible daily.

I suggest working from the edges of the back, middle or the sides of your hair. That way, you can pull the unlocked hair back. The hair that shows will look like un-twisted new growth that is groomed and pulled away from your face.

Wearing locks and then taking them out is like giving your hair a break from all maintenance.

Maintain and Preserve your God given beauty…..

Let me know how your locks look now! Cheers

There are actually five ways to dreadlock your hair.  They are:

1.  Backcombing Method
2.  Gel and waxing Method
3.  Twist and Rip Method
4.  Natural Method
5.  Latchhook or Interlocking Method.

With the Latchhook or Interlocking method you will instantly dreadlock your hair, and avoid using gel, and wax (which ends up damaging your locks), etc.  You will never even have to use gel to retwist your growing locks ever again.   You can start one dreadlock at a time with the Latchhook Method without ever having to use gel, backcombing, beeswax, etc.  This method is instant.  You don’t have to wait 6-8 months for your hair to actually lock up.  This is one of the best ways to start and maintain dreadlocks today.

What’s really awesome about this method is that any hair type can be instantly locked with this method.  It doesn’t matter whether your hair is permed, you’re Caucasian, Chineese, Black, etc, you can use this method to lock your hair instantly.  You can start your locks with this method yourself, but I wouldn’t recommend it.

If you go to a loctitian that specializes in the Latchhook method it can cost you anywhere from $500, and even up to $1000 just to get the dreds started.  Once your hair is done, you can then maintain them on your own. Remember, not all loctitians specialize in this method.  Some are not familiar with it.  So make sure you find the right loctitian before getting started.

With the latchhook method you take your time, one dreadlock at a time, using a special tool, like the Nappylocs dreadlock tool, The Latchhook Crochet Needle tool, a twisted bobby pin, etc.  For example, What you’re doing is actually threading the Nappylocs tool with your hair and sewing your hair.
The Nappyloc tool actually looks like an oversized needle.  To actually lock the hair, you would section the hair, and then the hair is actually woven from the tip all the way to the root.  So what you’re actually doing is sort of braiding the hair backwards.

You can actually do this with your fingers and then after you reach close to the root of the hair, then you use the Nappyloc, Latchhook crocheting tool, etc to tighten the root.  You can use this method with dreadlocks of different sizes.  It can be a long, tedious start using this method, but when it’s done, what you’ll have are stronger, instant locks without damaging beeswax, and gooey gel that ends up leaving residue buildup overtime.

You don’t have to retwist your locks often, and you can wash your hair right after you’re done without worrying about the locks getting undone.  You’ve just learned how to make dreadlocks instantly and never have to suffer through the long lockup journey. This is what I call, “The New Age of Dreadlocks!”

Dreadlock Your Hair And Never Use Gel or Beeswax Again

Are you considering putting dreadlocks in your hair? Are you totally freaked out about how to get started.  Well let me ease your mind.  Starting your dreads does not have to be a complicated procedure like some people make it seem.  I know from experience when I put the first dreadlock in my son’s hair that it’s not complicated.  However, you must know what you’re doing or what you’re getting  into.

There are actually five ways to dreadlock your hair.  They are:

1.  Backcombing Method
2.  Gel and waxing Method
3.  Twist and Rip Method
4.  Natural Method

I do plan on trying this out again in the near future, with darker colored hair. the wax blends with the dread color so you don’t really get the full effect in the video.

Once again, if you want full details and discussion, go check it out on the forums at http://dreadlocktruth.com
