1. Hair braiding, hair weaving, or dreadlocked hair can become dry and matted together, so you must use a product like the Take Down Remover that softens, oils and moisturizes your hair so that after these styles are removed unhealthy and broken hair is not left behind.
2. Do not shampoo or relax until your hair braiding is completely combed out and detangled. Because if you try to “wash away” clumps/knots of matted or braided hair, the water will absorb every last drop of oil in your hair and all your hair will tangle in to a big matted mess. And if you try to “perm/relax” the knots and tangles out of your hair-it will not work either! Relaxers are not designed to penetrate through clumps of matted and braided hair.
3. Before you begin to to removing the braids soak the roots of your hair and the braids with the Take Down removal cream. Do the same for sew-in weaves, but first cut the extensions off, then proceed to soak the cornrows with a removal cream. This will prevent tearing and breaking of the hair when you are combing through it.
4. Believe it or not, dreadlocked hair can be removed without having to be cut off. It may take more than one day but a removal cream can salvage your natural hair. You will have some shedding, but for the most part you can keep your hair.
5. When removing hair braiding Dreadlocks that are 1-4 years old, cut only the tip of the lock. If hair braiding is older than four years, you need to cut half of the locked hair before it unravels.
6. Contrary to popular belief, you can relax your hair the same day you remove hair braiding, weaves, bonding glue, or dreadlocks. A product such as TAKE DOWN removal cream allows you the ease of transitioning from hairstyle to hairstyle.
7. Conditioners or oil sheen SHOULD not be used to remove bonding glue from the hair. It was not created for that purpose (oil is an aerosol, an alcohol based product). Secondly, it does not effectively remove the excess bonding glue from the scalp. Over time excess bonding glue that builds up on the scalp can damage the scalp and will cause balding.
8. And if you do use oil sheen to remove the bonding glue from your hair, please do not relax your hair immediately after the removal process. You are causing serious damage to your scalp.
9. Most people don’t have the time or patience to remove hair braiding, locks, weaves or hair extensions the right way. The average consumer thinks it’s too costly to visit a hair care salon to undo or “take down” a hairstyle. So, she pulls, she tugs, and ultimately damages her hair when it’s time to remove hair braiding, weaves, hair extensions, or even dreadlocks. Please do not rush when removing these hairstyles; it will only hurt your hair.
10. Love your hair. Be patient with whatever type of hair you have been blessed with, and take the time to learn about what your natural hair needs. There are so many good hair care products in the marketplace but every product is not for every head.
11. If you made a mistake and washed your hair before combing or detangling it with the Take Down Remover, its okay to work backwards. The product will still save your hair, just soak your hair and pull out strands of hair little by little from the matted mess or mass.
