Thanks to a recent mailing from a company called Knotty Boy, I am dreadlock-enlightened. No, you won’t see me sporting them anytime soon. But, if you do sport them, then perhaps you’d like to know that there’s a whole slew of hair care products especially for your locks. Look for the brand new “Emergency Dreadlock Removal Kit.” As the release says, “people, throw away your scissors!” If you wanna get rid of those ‘dreads for some occasion, then just grab some of Knotty Boys Emergency Dreadlock Removal Shampoo. It’s got all sorts of natural and unnatural things that break down waxes and other dreadlock buildup (I don’t even want to know what that could be!). They claim it will soften and relax dreads so you can gently comb them out. Buy it online or (where else?) at Ricky’s.
