What Are Dreadlocks?
Knotty Boy Dreaducation
The hairstyle known as dreadlocks has existed for hundreds, possibly thousands, of years. With
a history tied to spiritual expression and social statement, the Knotty Boy method of making
dreadlocks creates tangled, clean ropes of hair bound together by an all natural Dread Wax formula
until they tighten into mature locks.
Dreadlock creation takes time and patience, but with the help of Knotty Boy Natural Dreadlock Care
products, this style can be jumpstarted into becoming a full head of locks that mature in a fraction of
normal development time.

The Products
Help customers achieve incredible, sweet-smelling dreadlocks in weeks, not years. Beautiful
locks can be created, maintained and removed in ANY hair type easier, faster and cleaner with
Knotty Boy Natural Dreadlock Care products, designed for every stage of development.
All Knotty Boy products are free of parabens, sulfates/SLS, petroleum-based ingredients,
and synthetic preservatives, emulsifiers and colors, and are never tested on animals (PETAcertified).
The Company
Since 1998, Knotty Boy Natural Dreadlock Care has been dedicated to the ethical manufacturing
and distribution of truly all natural, gimmick-free hair and body products.
When Knotty Boy began, no natural dreadlock products existed on the market. Recognizing
the need, Adrianna Hepper, owner and founder, formulated the World’s first natural hair
care line specifically for starting and maintaining dreadlocks in all hair types, and built
www.knottyboy.com to distribute them. With online customers demanding local retailers, Knotty
Boy rapidly expanded into the wholesale market. Knotty Boy currently supplies over 600 retail
locations worldwide and online, with official distribution in over 14 countries.
From ethically sourced ingredients to eco-friendly packaging, everything used in Knotty Boy
Dreadlock Care products biodegrades or bypasses the growing landfills polluting our planet.
Knotty Boy is also driven by purpose beyond profits, and is a vehicle for fundraising for numerous
charitable projects including the sponsorship of children in developing countries. Learn more

Knotty Boy offers retailers, e-commerce sites and stylists pure ingredients, simple instructions
and limitless customer support.

Knotty Boy Bee Washed
Pre-Dreading & De-Waxing Soap Bar
Product Highlights
•
all natural mini bar that prepares hair for dreadlocks by washing away oils & build up, leaving it squeaky clean & ready for
locks
•
included in Knotty Boy Dreadlock Starter Kit
Unique Selling Points

for starting dreadlocks & ongoing maintenance
Knotty Boy Dreadlock Wax
Jar & Roll-Up Stick format
Product Highlights
•
all natural, Beeswax/Hempseed Oil pomade allows dreadlocks to be started & maintained in ANY hair type
•
binds new locks together, dramatically accelerating the natural locking process
•
allows hair & scalp to be washed like normal, without washing out new locks
•
available in Light (suitable for Blonde to Light Brown hair) & Dark (suitable for Med. Brown to Black hair)
•
your choice of Jar or Roll-Up Stick formats
•
4oz. jar included in Knotty Boy Dreadlock Starter Kit
Unique Selling Points
•
A little goes a long way. Washing locks in hot water dissolves the Wax over time, so very little Wax build up occurs as
long as the user washes regularly and applies Wax sparingly.
•
Knotty Boy Dreadlock Wax creates REAL locks, not ‘fake’ or ‘unnatural’ dreads. By utilizing the properties of natural,
earth grown ingredients, Knotty Boy Wax facilitates and accelerates the natural locking process, making real locks, faster.
•
Jar format offers a larger quantity of Wax, ideal for those ready to roll up their sleeves and start full dreadlocks for the first
time. The Roll-Up Stick is perfect for ongoing quick and easy touchups, as the roll-up tube allows for a lighter, mess-free
application.
Extra Tips
•
For non-dreadlock styles, Wax can be used sparingly as an excellent two-wash natural styling pomade for short, messy
styles, and for separating, defining and moisturizing curls without being ‘crunchy’ or flakey.

Knotty Boy Dreadlock Shampoo
Liquid & Bar Format
Product Highlights
•
Knotty Boy’s best selling product, formulated in small batches with Tea Tree, Rosemary & Peppermint Oils, effectively
prevents, treats & cools itchy, flakey scalp conditions
•
safe, effective alternative to medicated dandruff shampoos
•
squeaky clean, lock-tightening, residue-free formula
•
contains no softeners or conditioners that cause knots to slip out
•
100% natural & mountain-stream friendly: non-toxic, biodegradable, SLS-free
•
included in Knotty Boy Dreadlock Starter Kit
Unique Selling Points
•
Knotty Boy Dreadlock Shampoo is designed for use throughout the life of dreadlocks.
•
Regularly cleansing locks of natural oils and build up with Knotty Boy Dread Shampoo, specifically formulated for the
unique care of dreadlocks, is critical to successful and speedy lock development.
•
There is no active-ingredient difference between the Bar and Liquid Shampoos, simply a matter of personal preference.
The Bar has natural high lather and travels well (won’t leak in baggage). Liquid is more conventional format, equally
effective for washing locks.
•
Both suitable for locked and non-locked hair.
•
Effective as all-over body wash and treatment for acne and problem skin.
Extra Tips
•
Dreadlocks over one week old should be washed once a week - twice at very most - and dried COMPLETELY between
washings to prevent mildew and musty-smelling locks.
•
Non-locked hair with healthy scalps should alternate washes with another all natural shampoo (ie. Knotty Boy All Purpose
Shampoo Bar) to prevent over-drying from Tea Tree Essential Oils.

Knotty Boy Peppermint Cooling Scalp Spray
Product Highlights
•
Knotty Boy bestseller for instantly cooling & treating irritated, itchy scalps without needing to wet new locks
•
refreshes both scalp & locks with tingly, minty freshness
•
included in Knotty Boy New Dreadlock Maintenance Kit
Unique Selling Points
•
Occasional scalp stress is completely normal with dreadlocks, usually occurring after installation when hair is pulled in
different directions than it is used to. This usually resolves itself as locks become more relaxed and when scalp is washed
regularly (about once a week). Until then, instant cooling relief can be achieved with the use of Knotty Boy Cooling Scalp
Spray.
•
Witch Hazel and Peppermint Essential Oils are antibacterial and fast-drying.
Extra Tips
•
Try Knotty Boy Cooling Scalp Spray for sunburn relief, soothing new tattoos or anywhere
else that might need a little cooling refreshment.

Extra Tips
•
Use as an excellent shampoo-less refresher/cleanser for musty-smelling locks. Stinky, musty dreads are caused by
improper drying, and should not be washed for 1-2 weeks to allow locks to dry inside completely. Use Natural MISTic Spray
during this time to deodorize and kill bacteria.
