REMOVE DREADLOCKS WITHOUT CUTTING!

[@Mackattack946]

I’ve recently started dreads and everywhere I go, the first thing my friends and family ask is “well how are you gonna get them out?” And so far my answer has been “oh... I didn’t think that far..” so thanks for this video 😂

[@OfMiceAndDestiny]

I found mine were loads easier to remove when I starting using conditioner when I washed my dreads for about 2 weeks before removing them.

[@MaxHoward42069]

Sevi N. thats a good ass idea

[@josjespeek9776]

thank you so much for this I am undoing my friends' crappy dreads to give her the dreads she deserves. so thank you so much :D

[@LazyDreads]

josje speek I wish you (and your friend!) the best of luck for the second time around! :)

[@justinahoran8772]

lol and thank you so much, friend:)

[@Sirke34]

Thanks for this video, I just started to remove my dreads and this was very helpful. Clearly I've been using way too small amounts of conditioner... I use a thin knitting needle (2,5 mm) instead of a needle, so I don't have to worry about cuts and also it's longer for a better grip.

[@sarapierce4086]

OMG I think you just saved my long beautiful hair. Bless your heart. if I had not found this video I think I would have been having to have my hair shaved off today and I am a girly girl. I did not dread my hair, however had a major hair disaster. my hair is down to my hips almost and the other day I fell asleep with my wet naturally curly hair twisted up in a towel and when I woke up my hair was matted so badly that it's been about a week and I couldn't get the matted hair parts out. I'm trying to get a hold of my hair stylist today to see if I can pay her to do this to my hair. I'm praying this works.

[@popcorntime9846]

omg same it would be embarrasing being a balld 14 teen year. old.

[@drowsydwarf]

Hopefully I will.not ever have to use this video!

[@krisjennerelfbar]

I had my first set of dreads for a year and spent a week and a half combing them out... to be blunt, I had a basketball sized ball of loose hair, but it was still pretty healthy. now I'm starting my second set, couldn't stay away :)

[@TheCocoaFairy]

Four years ago I picked out my 12 y.o. dreads. I used Cowboy Magic mane & tail detangler (I had a horse at the time) & a pin tail comb. I had my locs bobbed at the time & it still took me three weeks to get them all out. TEDIOUS process! lol

[@BunnyStarling]

Thank you so much! I want to try helping my friend. He has natural dreads and it is about to his neck but not past it. Took him forever to grow this much, I don't want him to cut it because he hasn't tried this method.

[@donyellemary]

I have had dreads for three years, and they are ALL kinds of a mess. I have crochet, twist and rip, back comb, funky homemade extensions, and a whole lot of looong loose hair. I need to clean the loose hair up, for business reasons, but the hair is coming from so many different places. I have considered taking out random dreads and redreading them with said loose hair, but I don't want to.Is there another way? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. And also, thank you for taking the time to make these wonderful videos. They have been such good support on my "dread journey"

[@LazyDreads]

You could try to divide the loose hairs up and partner the hair with the closest established dreadlock and then try to encourage the loose hairs into the dreadlocks. This can be done slowly just by letting it lock up or it could be 'maintained' in using a crochet hook or dreadballing etc.

[@Tico4president]

Only here cause I accidentally formed a baby dread

[@andresflores5213]

Tico4president same 😂😂

[@jazzparker496]

My bf had a dread start up in his hair like 2 years ago, since then it’s turned his whole hair into 1 dread and it’s getting long, about an inch past shoulder length, hoping maybe this weekend I can attempt to take it out with him🥺 his hair was so nice, curly and 😍

[@chrisdelacruz4492]

I've been free forming dreads for about 8 months now. The hairs on the sides of my head are locking up quite nicely and are easy to separate if they start sticking together. However, I've got a gnarly dread that could be about ten dreads forming on the back of my head. It's still young so not too bad, but definitely going to be tough to get out. My question is, should I brush out the whole piece and try again? Or try to pull apart and separate the piece into smaller pieces? Thanks!

[@loufacey-muench4733]

Thanks for the video. I’ve taken out one sat the wrong way and your way seems far more hopeful.

[@lydiay.jladyjoharharleyson4037]

A Big Thank You For The Tutorial.. I Have Kept My Hair For Sixth Years, And I Have Decided To Remove It Without Cutting But Finding It Difficult To Loosen It,.....

[@LJTEDDIB34R]

I'm starting over with the freeform method

[@rafhmto6746]

When you said farewell it hurt me inside like an ending to my journey, well it’s been fun

[@chukwuemekaada5336]

Please which lock hair is easy to remove And what product will you use if you want to remove your lock hair after years.

[@DinDjaddy]

I have to comb mine out too.. I just want to cry.. even though it's only temporary, I feel like I'm losing the community I was a part of.. when I've already got the job I'm going for I'm going to redo them. But the negative stigma we get is not helping pay the bills.. so I will redo them after. I would love some love for a dreadie losing her babies for now though..

[@GirlWithAGuitarx]

What's the deal with removing crochet dreadlocks? Heard so many horror stories, and now have lots of crocheted dreads and am panicking for when the time comes to remove them, are they removable and will I lose a significantly larger amount of hair?

[@LazyDreads]

Hannah Wragg There are so many variables involved with every set of dreads, I don't think it's possible to make a blanket statement saying that one type is easier/harder to remove than another, because it really varies on a case-to-case basis. With crocheted dreadlocks you could find that they're trickier to remove... but it depends on how crocheted etc - there's not really a scale for it. It would be possible to find that you lose a lot more hair from removing crocheted dreadlocks if more hairs have been damaged by crocheting over time... again, depends on how crocheted.

[@anniemac7625]

I had to do this when I was 9 because I was so stubborn about brushing my hair and eventually there was a giant dreadlock in the back of my head so I had to remove it. It was pretty painful.

[@exh-hm2sm]

Yeah lol its happening to me

[@lindamerwood2524]

I have a naturally formed dreadlock after camping in my very long hair. It is a massive ball and doesn’t appear to have an end after my partner tried but made it way worse. How do I start and what do I do if I can find an end?

[@pethramitchell262]

Thanks for the info ..love how u used your own dread as an example ...great gesture...as for that dread you ueed as an eg..soon he will be back in the game...ps u have good quality hair .i observe d as u entangled..bless day..lazy dread.

[@stackattakkstackalackin5705]

I have rather young dreads (almost 2 months) that were back combed and crocheted.. I'd like to restart the process naturally by simply not combing.. The problem is that my hair was at one point interlocked (these knots are still close to the root with no REAL dread under them yet)... how might I do this? (Straight caucasian hair) would I still just comb it out?

[@LazyDreads]

I'd wash the hair a few times with lots of conditioner to soften them up. They'll come out, but it won't be all that fun to do.

[@hattekid]

But should I? can't decide.

[@sophiaelatrouchi6352]

Does this work for crochet dreads?

[@SuiqTV]

Iv had dreads for 10 years now I used to watch your videos to start my dreads way back, jealous of your dreads being perfect now i got the same thing and they're down past my butt , sadly thinking I'm about to get rid of a few,to see if getting rid of them is the right thing to do , I'm terrified

[@sagefirestudio]

I removed my first set of dreadlocks that was14 months old. I used all of my leftover conditioners. So brands don't matter. I used a jagged metal pet comb. Every other tooth was shorter than the previous, and spaced 2mm apart. It worked like the needle, using the last tooth at the end, but I could also comb my loose hair too. It took about a week to remove them. And yes, you will loose a lot of hair. I saved the hair and later used it to make extensions, after washing it to remove the conditioner.

[@kristiepallini4630]

So Pleased, I removed my dreadlocks 3 years ago without watching any videos and I did it this way, Just mainly guess work :) I have dreads again now :) Backcomb and crochet with natural and synthetic extensions :) they would be about 4 months old now

[@imthedankestbudyoulleverha2667]

Couple of my friends could benefit from this video. They lost SO much hair brushing their locks out.

[@MichaelBrown-ms6cz]

so how do I go about finding out who knows how to do dreads good. I've been growing my hair for 8 or 9 months now. I'm going to wait till May of 2016 to get dreads done. but I want to know who doing my dreads know what they are doing. I just don't want to let anybody try to dread my hair. LAZY DREAD if you have any tips for me I would love to know what to look for. thanks man

[@noahrunciman5603]

Great video! After I comb out and remove my dreadlocks, will my hair be very weak and thin? If so is this reversible? Thanks!!

[@torchicky]

I started to get dreadlocks about a month or two ago, although, at the roots, they all became one huge one so I need to take them all out and start over. What should I do to prevent them from doing that when I restart them?

[@LazyDreads]

torchicky Separating is essential if you want to stop them from merging together: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYPNh6mfadSgeac

[@Hippie_Chik_73]

Baby oil works really well in addition to conditioner

[@mobig6179]

I am 13 and I've had my dreads all my life and I've wished for natural real hair so this is very helpful and I have everything :) ty sooooo much now I will wait 3 more years or 2 to get my hair strait

[@wingsonmyback1]

I have been combing my 3 yr old dreads out, the closer to the root I get the tighter it gets and on most of them I have a sticky wax like buildup that is keeping me from being able to comb out, I think its from a dreadlock shampoo bar I started using 7 moths ago, do you know what will cut through the sticky wax like stuff?

[@arlyndaates1175]

wingsonmyback1 lemon juice

[@Cristuna_Korea]

Regarding donating hair: If I were to get dreadlocks and safely remove mature knots as you did in this video, how long would you recommend waiting before actually donating the hair?

[@LazyDreads]

I'm afraid I don't know anything about donating hair.

[@shonshon64]

What about freeform locs? Will this work?

[@LazyDreads]

Do dreadlocks like change the color of your hair or did u dye it

[@LazyDreads]

Change the colour between when and when?

[@shoshilohmusic1728]

Right you've done well with everything in regards with the take down way but instead of a needle use the ends of a rats tail comb and for people with braids the thing that use to part your hair with

[@callmesupreme1533]

Can you remove locs no matter what method you use ???

[@gymnast-bunny794]

I've had my dreadlocks for 5 years and I wanted to know if this would work for me because I've had mine so long

[@zainabjarju4915]

Can someone use any conditioner???

[@NickiNewellArt]

After successfully unlocking dreads will you have to trim quite a bit for it to healthy again?

[@LazyDreads]

Dillydallydoodles Depends on how the hair was treated while it was in the dreadlocks - the hair won't necessarily be 'unhealthy'... but it's going to vary from person to person depending on what they did to them. It will however need trimming to even out the length - the lengths of the individual hairs will range quite widely so it'll need trimming to somewhat even them out and to get rid of the thinner layers at the ends.

[@savannahlee191]

Your channel has been such great help. 😊 xx

[@GabrielNebula]

This video made me wonder how it would look it one had long loose tips is dreads. I think it would look good if one has shorter dreads around the face and such.

[@DeathThemeThirteen]

So brave. We thank you for your sacrifice. RIP that four inches or so of dread; it shall be missed. haha

[@sneakafreak29]

Is coconut oil better than wax and is it good for the dreading process or not?

[@LazyDreads]

Coconut oil and wax really don't serve the same purpose. Coconut oil would not be bad in the same way that wax is.. however it also would not help the process as it will soften and condition the hair. If you were some way into the process and had some formed dreadlocks that were dry... then you could apply some oil to nourish the hair. But the oil itself isn't going to help hair lock up - quite the opposite.

[@PooKilla]

With that being said; could oil (either coconut or olive oil) be suitable for dreadlock removal?

[@LazyDreads]

It might help... but I wouldn't use it to replace the conditioner.

[@sabrinaoliver4027]

Will this shampoo or wash what ever it's is work the same on just a massive knot in a Caucasian person's hair?? If it will where do you purchase it from?

[@goodmxrning99]

I cycle to school and consistently wear a helmet, will this this flatten young dreads if/when i choose to get them?

[@LazyDreads]

Yes, it will flatten them.

[@TheChrischel]

Hi there, I used to crochet my dreads when they were younger and now there's one left with a bump/lump that will not come out on his own (like the others did) because it is too solid too move or mature anymore (because of me overcrocheting). Do you know any way to kinda loose it up again so it can mature naturally ? Thanks a lot :) love your vids !

[@LazyDreads]

If the lump is good and solid there's not a whole lot you can do. Soaking dreadlocks and using oils will soften them... but I think it's unlikely you'd get them to loosen far enough for a solid lump to get absorbed.

[@jodiekeen4681]

I wanna comb out 3 of my dreads as I wanna add mire to my fringe. Dreads past my bum, 6 years old, and they are crotchet, this video has helped. Let's go!

[@nfz3809]

Need some advice/ tips/ help?! I'm now working for a period of three weeks and i have to tie my dreads up so they won't be in the way, also i have to wear a helmet that fitts pretty tight on the head, and the work climate is really warm, and lots of physical work too. So how much will the dreads suffer from this treatment, will they undure it to some extent or will they be completely damaged from this? Cause they're only around one month! I'm afraid I'm going to damage them for good!

[@LazyDreads]

They'll endure... well they'll have to.

[@NMND.]

Oh, I opened up some of my tips (because I disliked the knotty elements, the tips themselves were open from the beginning) with a sewing-needle, too. But I simply made them wet. Next time I try to get some conditioner. :D Nice tutorial! ;)

[@TheWOWLOTR]

hey man love your videos. started my dreads a couple days ago. I got short hair though and am doing the neglect method so should be awhile. so I hope you can answer my question for me cause I don't wanna mess up and slow it down more at all. does washing my hair with hot/cold water make any difference? thanks +LazyDreads

After removing dreadlocks without cutting, how long should I wait for my hair to recover to restart dreadlocks?

[@LazyDreads]

***** Depends what the hair is like, I can't say I have any experience with it myself... but I would think it to be better to get them started and let the new hair grow in dreaded rather than wait for the hair first.

[@MDJM5969]

Oh.. ok. Thanks.

[@sergioleonmaroto613]

Question for people who have made this (undo dreads): After removing them, did you feel that you have less volume/quantity of hair than before having dreads?

[@BrennaMay]

Sergio León Maroto yes. I have super thick hair and my pony tail is half the thickness it was. I’ve had dreads 2 times and comes them out in the last 3 years. My hair is about half the thickness it was

[@kayjkamsanders244]

This video gave me hope

[@KingSteazzy]

yes you can remove your dreadlocks without cutting them... hes right you need conditioner and play with them thats how they come out. yes you will lost hair but think about it , would you rather cut your whole hair or lost some hair... so what you want to do is start from the bottom and use your first two or three fingers and squeeezing the lock and start to spread them out like if you was to play with them..
