Thanks for all your answers. I decided to go with dreadlocks when I first entered college--it would be too expensive to get my hair done every week, and I didn't have the products or the know-how to do my hair myself. My dreads turned out pretty well, but now I have a summer job, so I have the money to get my hair done again. It's nice to know that I CAN take them down. I don't mind the time or the effort--I've got all the time in the world :)

you might want to get a really strong conditioner let your hair soak it up and take a comb and try to comb them out this might take hours but its better then haveing to hack all your hair off its worse a try and its not like it will make matters worse i dont know how long you had your but i had some for like one day got sick of it and spent hours detaneling my hair.

Hate to be the bearer of more bad news but cutting is the only way. When my sister decided to take her dreads off, my mother and other sisters and I all gathered around her head and spent hours saving as much hair as we could, untangling knots that had been knotted for years. You don't wanna know what kind of nasty stuff we found in there, and she's a really clean person. In the end we just had to cut. And she looked SOO cute with short hair. You probably will too. Anyway hair grows back, you'll have a new gorgeous look in no time. Best of luck!

Do you actually have dreadlocks? If you did, I feel that you wouldn't be asking this question.
The EASIEST way to remove dreadlocks is to let your roots grow for a while without twisting them, then cutting. You'll end up with a little 'fro. Shaving your entire head isn't always necessary. It's just hair, it will grow back.
You can go to hairstylists and pay a lot of money to have them picked apart one by one, but who wants to do that??
Why grow dreadlocks if you plan on getting rid of them? It's a journey, not just a hairstyle. You should have just gotten braids.

USALLY THE AFRICAN BRAIDING SHOPS CAN GET DREAD OUT IT IS VERY COSTLY AND TIME COSUMING IT CAN BE DONE. CUTTING IT JUST MEANS THAT YOU DONT WANT TO BE BOTHER WITH THE HASSLE OF GOING THROUGH THAT PROCESS. YOU WILL HAVE A HEADACHE BECAUSE OF THE REMOVAL PROCESS. I'VE SEEN IT DONE SO IT CAN BE DONE DO YOUR RESEARCH.

I don't think you can. Unless you actually have little braids, and not real dreadlocks. Then you just unbraid them.
