I love my dreadies, but sadly they have to go. I've had them about 5 monthes, and I haven't really been takin care of them the way I ought to have been. my girlfriend is gonna kill me when she finds out. anyway, some of them are locked up pretty good, but almost all of them have loops and crap like that. I had to actually separate some of the dreadz that had started growing together. that HURT. but now i'm back to my individual lil dreads. so i need to know how to get rid of them. I used wax and backcombed them. any advice please? seriously, i really need help

I'm no expert, but I've read that the only way to get rid of 'em is to cut them. Sorry if this isn't much help.

If you are very patient, you can comb them out, though there will be some damage, and your arms will hurt it will take so long. Start with a wax remover you get through Knotty Boy. Then, with a fine tooth comb, comb from the very bottom, moving up bit by bit until you get to the scalp.

when combing I think using conditioner and  oils will help you get some slippiness (@`ap pa %( 0b@ ((` "2 -, %,%$(( $((b` #
