Things You'll Need
- Cornstarch
- Fine tooth comb
- Blunt-edged scissors
Instructions
Apply a pinch of cornstarch on the dreadlock to easily separate the hairs. Gently draw the dreadlock upward as you work the cornstarch in with your fingers, simultaneously loosening the hairs.
Slowly run a fine-tooth comb through the dreadlock to separate the hairs and comb out the dreadlock. Use a flea comb or baby comb to comb out small dreadlocks. Brushing loosens the knots in the dreadlock and reduces its size.
Cut out the dreadlock with blunt-edged scissors, if you are unable to comb it out.
