How do you get rid of dreadlocks?

2. Section off the dreadlocks

   Separate your hair into groups. There should be two clusters on the top of your head, and two at the bottom.

3. Add more moisture to the hair

   Fill a spray bottle with water and a small amount of conditioner. and moisten it each section of hair.

4. Apply more conditioner

   Put conditioner on your hand, and rub it thoroughly into the first dreadlock. It should be completely saturated.

   Using a rat-tail comb, gently pick at the bottom of the dreadlock. Continue adding water and conditioner as you pick the dreadlock loose. Expect hair loss.

6. Comb the hair

   After the dreadlock unravels, spray it with the conditioner and water mixture. Use a standard comb to remove any excess hair. Repeat the entire process for each dreadlock.
