The great thing about this product is that it provides an alternative to shaving your head or cutting your hair super, super short. This is basically the only other alternative, but still, it’s better than cutting all your locks off! The Emergency Dreadlock Removal Kit Shampoo helps to restore  your hair to it’s original condition - easily! Using the natural properties found in citrus peels, this gentle yet powerful shampoo dissolves Knotty Boy Dread Wax in dreads and softens them for easier removal. Hemp seed oil, grapefruit seed extract, and oat proteins restore moisture and nutrients that are essential for healthy, soft and great looking hair! After thoroughly scrubbing with the Removal Shampoo, get out the Knotty Boy Damage-Control Deep Conditioner to detangle and moisturize those dreads. The Aloe Vera extract soothes the scalp and hair follicles, while jojba, hemp oil, and panthenol smooths and strengthens, conditioning your lovely locks back to their old selves.
