Fill a sink or basin with warm water and lean back, submerging your locks completely. Let your locks soak for a full 10 minutes. Wash the locks with shampoo. Work small amounts of detangling or degreasing shampoo into each section of each lock. Wash each lock with hot water, as well. The water should be as hot as you can make it without burning yourself. The hot water and shampoo should help melt any wax and grease that has built up. Thoroughly rinse the shampoo out of your locks before continuing. Work conditioner into each lock. Apply small amounts of conditioner to each section of each lock.

Rub the conditioner into each lock using your fingers. Do not rinse the conditioner out of your locks at this point. If necessary, you can wrap your hair in a towel to keep it out of your face until you are ready to continue. Gently pick apart one lock from the bottom.

Repeat with the remaining locks. After you unravel one lock, repeat the same process with the remaining locks.

Work on each lock one by one until all of them have come undone. If you have difficulty working the locks apart with a comb, you might find it easier to do so with a metal knitting needle or long sewing needle.
