Hey Dianne,
I found out about how to get locs out of hair. You have 1 of 2 choices.
1. Is to cut them out, allowing the hair to grow out.
2. As the hair grows out don't twist or dread any more. And this is until the hair is long enough to cut without it coming out with no hair.
This is what I could find out. The biggest thing though is for her not to twist it any more.
Sorry it took me so long to answer your question but I hope this helps.
