Ah shyte why's that?
If you used wax or loc peppa or ANYTHING of the sort, get it out. Use Dawn or whatever it is everyone here suggests. Second, do the baking soda routine that I posted previously. I think if they feel good and look good, then you will fall in love again. It really is worth a try. If you still hate them, take them out. Knottysleeves said: Even if a set of dreads can physically be saved, sometimes emotionally and psychologically it's easier to cut or comb out and start fresh. Especially if they were started or maintained with poor techniques and the person wants to start over with a different method. Nothing wrong with that. Many of us on this site (including me) have done it and are MUCH happier with our new sets.

.I did comb my crochet out but they had only been in for 9 days and crocheted once.It took me almost 4 days to do it. TONS of conditioner and lots of combing. I lost a ton of hair. And I couldnt do the back, my daughter had to, I just couldnt reach.If I were you, I would try the other suggestions first. Do a DEEP soak with baking soda and water. GOB it on. I do this every month, GreyGargoyle suggested it and it WORKS. Your dreads look great, just stop the crochet and try the deep cleanse, maybe you will feel better.This is what Grey suggested.Try this first. See how you feel.'Mine was like yours. Here is what I did. Take a ton of baking soda...like a quater of a pound and pour it into a gallon of water. Stir it around really well and then get your hair really wet. Now stick your hair into the gallon of water or pour it on, whatever. Then let it sit in your hair for ten minutes or fifteen minutes. After that, get your hair wet again but don't rinse ALL the baking soda out...then take a handful of baking soda and pat it all over your hair. If it takes two or three handfuls then do it! Don't skimp out on the baking soda, use a lot. Now leave it in your hair for ten or fifteen minutes again. This will get out all of those crappy residues for good! After the fifteen minutes is up, rinse all the baking soda out of your hair with hot water. Rinse for a good five minutes. Then use a white vinegar rinse...if all you have is ACV then just use that, that is fine. I recommend the white vinegar just because it's stronger. Either way you need to use a good bit of vinegar. I used about fifteen spoonfuls of vinegar mixed with water. Just rinse it with that and finally let it air dry. This cured me of all residues finally and for good. Good luck! My hair is so clean and light now.'
This journey, thus far, has been incredible! Im so thankful for this site. Thanks SE
