You know what..... You have no clue how much you are appreciated... I've looked for YEARS for ways to start straight dreads and NO ONE EVER shows it like this..... My daughter is 7, mixed but her hair is like mine.... And she HATES HER HAIR DONE..... She's gonna love dreads.... Thank you so much
My son was a toddler the first time I did his locs 'i describe his hair as like a mixed curly Puertirican lookin hair- my son's Nigerian, German, check, maybe some polish? and lots of bohemian' He loved his locs at 4 and 5 and then 6 he wanted to try something else so we did some braids and then just left it in natural curls with a line up after they needed redone a few times, had a friend who braided very nice n not too tight ! Went into 8yrs old n he pmo cuz he wanted a hair cut right after i dreaded him up so now he's 9 lol right now he got me lookin up some 'kid and play' high top fades 😅 proud mama here!!! 🎉❤ *love the old school movies and shows for kids these days, these new age movies b tryna turn kids out, that crap aint it n don't fly with mama bear*
I have the crochet needle 0.75 and extremely straight hair and just locked it up like a week ago and watching these videos literally saved me soo much trouble thank you soo much 🙏🏻
My son is Jamaican, Belizean, Greek, Italian and Cherokee so as u can imagine his hair is different.....he wants dreads really bad. Your videos are allowing me to help him start his journey and learn about his culture so I appreciate u man frfr 🙌
had mine for 8 months now and I'm loving the way they still go through their stages and maturity... people assume oh instant locs equal instant maturity and that couldn't be further from the truth...grew my hair for 3 and a half years before i started them and that was the hardest part... hair was below my shoulders, and after they were above my shoulders, hella shrinkage lol...RESPECT
Tips on dreading straight hair from someone who actually has had straight hair dreads for over a year and has also done it on other people with straight hair for years (no shade meant towards GTG- his tips are 👍😄): For straight hair its actually easier to backcomb the hair first then crochet hooking. Twist the hair section around as you crochet hook it. If you backcomb the hair it will help it lock up better. By doing the method Gunther is using the hair will shrink up, which is part of the locking process, but by using the backcombing process it will already have shrunk up more giving you a more accurate representation of what you will end up with. It will also help as far as when you wash it less of it will come undone- which is VERY common in straight hair. Once you have the hair in a finished dread you should palm roll the hair. Palm roll as much as possible whenever you can to help train the hair to stay in the dread. Use the crochet hook ONLY (after the actual process of dreading) after washing and your dreads are dry, after you've palm rolled. DO NOT USE THE CROCHET HOOK MORE THAN 4 OR 5 TIMES A MONTH BECAUSE YOU WILL CAUSE DAMAGE AND BREAKAGE!!!! I found that out first hand when I combed my dreads out. My hair went from waist length to above my shoulders because I had been using the crochet hook a few times a week for over a year. I didn't realize how bad my hair had broken off because it was stuck in the dread. It also weakens the dread. Also personally I think that natural tips look better on straight hair dreads than the blunted off tips- especially on us girls. It also helps if you think you might want to add extensions onto the ends to lengthen your dreads. ALWAYS start crochet hooking dreads with a 0.75 size needle and finish with a 0.50 size hook. It actually makes it easier. You can buy a set on Amazon with both sizes. I also HIGHLY recommend buying more than one set of crochet needles because they break VERY easy and nothing sucks more than to be halfway done with your hair and the crochet needle breaks. Try not to use any gels ever on your dreads because you'll get the little flaky white pieces on your scalp from the product and its a pain in the butt to get out. Tightening sprays like from Dollylocks do work great and smell good too but try not to use more than once a week. Washing the hair actually does help the hair shrink up and mature into tighter dreads faster but it also requires more maintenance. Ok I think i covered a lot of bases on how to loc up straight hair. If you have any questions feel free to reply and ask me. I don't mind helping. (& hopefully YT will even let me know there is a reply- a LOT of times here recently they havent notified me😡🙄🤦🏼.)
Thank you for all your tips and advice!! I'm almost 2 weeks in to no-brushing-free-forming dreadlocks. But it's chaos so I got a hook but am struggling with it. My hair is down to my bottom rib and has started locking up about 3 quarters down... so the length above is still sort of smooth... it's like they are forming backwards 😂 lol!!
How hard is it to do crocheting yourself, after seeing this vid I still have no idea how's he's locking the hair up with that pick, what happens if you dread your hair like the video then wash it everyday after like what would I need to do if I want to be washing my hair everyday like I normally do?
I started off with the rip and twist method. With about 10 inches of hair. Then did interlocking for about 3 years. Now I've found someone who could crochet my dreads. I've been doing that way for 6 months now and love the results.
I have been turning away my straight hair potential clients because I was unsure of the instant log method. But I bought a manikin the other day and the crochet needles and watched your video and I did it I completed half of the manikin head I would love to show it to you LOL but now I will not be turning away these clients so thank you for your video
Wish there were more people like you in my area. All the sister shops around here look at me like I’m fucking crazy when I ask them how much they’d charge
As someone with 2c/3a hair type and looking for someone to lock his hair, thank you! Thank you for taking the time to learn and not just turn people away indefinitely. I would be so hurt if the loctician im going to see turned me away. Then again my hair pretty much locs on its own though.
You're great at what you do, very informative!! I'm two months into my dreads and I was ready to come em all out. I started with the rip n twist method. I have super fine and straight hair. Think this is going to help me tremendously!! Thank you.
I'm so grateful to run across your straight hair dreadlock videos. You do a fabulous job explaining and teaching! Keep up the good work! It helps those of us who can't find the services near us cheaper than $500.00. I llooovvveee watching and learning your way to perfect new dreads and make them look matured right off the bat!
I'm a UK white woman approaching 60 and I'm gona have my hair 'once again' dreaded. I can't wait. Your vids are brill, mine will be crocheted in too, last time it was that rip n twist or whatever its called, it hurt like hell 😢
Ooh I love the rubber/silicon thimbles too ; I make wigs, sew, crochet, make plush toys, etc and been learning dreading from you and the thimble is SO nice. For me especially when modifying/ making wigs.
Gunther you’re the man bro, just from watching your vids I know so much about dreads. A lot of it is common sense and you break things down to their simplest form. I know more than females that “specialize in creating dreads” however I feel like they are not use to locing straight hair. Which I have. But I can’t grind someone that will take their time. They go up the dread once with the Crocet needle. Instead of using common sense and going through it a few times and fully detailing the straight haired loc. Now she’s trying to gel and twist. You’re a beast. Gong to do well at teaching whatever challenge is set in front of you. Keep up the good work. I need this video Featuring Gunther the great maniquene head. You hit some really key points in this one. When it comes to straight hair
You are the bomb! I make synthetic dreadlocks but have wanted to move into the real thing on my own head. My hair is barely even wavy and I don’t want to shred it, ugh. You answered my questions and I feel safe going ahead now, other than at the back but by the time I get there I should have the confidence I need for it. Thanks so much!
Can’t wait to finish watching this video cause I’m going to get dread soon in the couple months can’t wait to show you and all of you all on great locs
@@donovanarmstrong5548 wetting hair helps loc it up faster if you have straight hair. You can spray a mix of water and tea tree oil (half and half mix of each) to help with the itching. I recommend using one of those spray bottles that mist the hair instead of a stream. Those work great with the water and tea tree oil mix. Just shake it before you use to mix it all up
I so needed this! I started my daughter instant locs on relaxed hair in sept but I left the ends straight cuz I didn’t know how to do the ends. Deff fixing them now
Even though my mom refuses to let me get dreadlocks, my hair is naturally parted despite the fact that I have straight hair, my roots have their own parts almost like I have natural braids or dreads & it’s easier too see it when my hair is wet. No matter how much I comb my hair, the parts just won’t go away almost like it’s my destiny to get dreadlocks
@@mtndewisawesome3951 yo my hair is straight af, I want to give myself dreads, should I do twist n rip or instant dreads? I saw sum vids that they mix them but Im scared of twist and rip could break my hair
Thank you so much it truly was informative. i have locs’ that haven’t had maintenance for over three years due to financial crisis. i’’m hoping i will have the ability to maintain my own locs’ and keep the loc length. unfortunately i have lost so many locs’ but from your video i should be able to preserve the remaining locs’👍🏽❤️🙏🏾❤️ Peace & prosperity!
@@Fr-mp6fe Im waiting for someone else to do it, and im jus gonna use the crochet hook for retwists. Everytime i do dreads they dont look good enough. 😔
Thank you for this video. I’m doing my own dreadlocks and I have straight hair, so this is very helpful. I used the back comb method to start mine, but have been using the crochet hook to tighten and mature them.
Gunther I really appreciate your great content and I realize this video is a year old so I hope and pray that you've been able to see this covid stuff for what it really is by now. It's not good to live under their lies and fear my bredren
With straight hair and instant locks always start with back combing after sectioning to create knots or kinks in the hair then twist and use the crochet. Gives cleaner tighter lock and a better fuller look.
Thank you that was very informing because I got my hair locked and wasn't sure what the locktition did until you showed me this method and that is exactly what she did so thank you very much for your tutorial.....
Omg thank you so much, before this video fix one of my dreads took me like 20 mins, but with this method taht take me 3 mint and look amazing and tight
Wow this really help me this is the best method i seen other people tutorials was not as helpful this the one that worked for me the in and out is so easy
I got lynched on a fb page becauseI said that I wanted to interlock my roots. Soooo many different ways. My idea was to interlock the roots and then crochet it to avoid the splitting that people are complaining about.
I have mixed hair like you. Went to joan fabric for crochet hook and have enjoy half my hair done rn cuz my soft spot too short from always gaming with headphones. I’m hoping once I’m done my hair will be more controllable since i used to play with my hair by j taking apart knots now im forcing those knots. My dreads kinda like like a tape work but i kept them flat and crocheted each side going down in sections which seemed to make it more even. I love it so far

love the video man, I have straight hair dreads and something i deal with a lot is my tips coming unblunted at first i started by folding over the ends like in the video then crocheting them in but after washing my hair the tips would just start to unravel and become just straight hair at the end again i find that pulling the loose hair straight into the dread from the middle and not the sides work a little better for them staying blunt but that just my personal opinion. keep up the great work you are one of the people who inspired me to actually get dreads ive always wanted dreads but i was nervous to get them because i didnt want to get judged for being white and having locs but thanks to you i can finally start my journey 2 months in today and im loving them. Check out 2alocs to see my 2 month journey
How are they coming? Im at 3 months and just blunted my tips and finally feel like a real head now!! I tried the bamboo handle hooks but eventually did what you said, pulled the end back through the center of the loc. Dreadheadhq has a loose hair tool large and small that makes it easy. I still have a few to redo but man am i glad to be done with wispy tips. I get it though, im surrounded by Chump signs and get constantly stared at and occasional comment. Never TO me though, that's how cowards get down. learned that in an interracial relationship, when they're staring just make eye contact and don't break it , they look away even if with 8 other guys.
There is black people that are more populated in America and also even if they are not black that is offencive if I said your race can't do social distance how would you feel don't judge because a person was born there judge because who they are
I've been watching you before the name guntha the great I am now on my 2nd dred loc journey and so far I got 19 and the rest is in a bun when I get the rest done but when you spoke about rubber pins I felt that cause I've stabbed throu my thumb last week twice and then last year I stabbed between the Webbing of my finger all the way to muscle
Hi! Can I just say I have been watching your videos since I started my dread journey 3 years ago. You are an amazing human, so thanks for everything you do. However, I think you are giving false hope to people with straight hair. My dreads looked so beautiful on day 1 with the crochet needle. However throughout the days, and months my hair was not so great and I debated cutting them on multiple occasion due to how the looked. I stuck it out and my dreads matured to what they are now. It was a process and not a pretty one at all. I would love to share pictures with you of how they changed throughout the months and years. But I do not have any social media. I’m not hating on this video, I just think there needs to be more information on time for straight hair dreads to mature. If that makes sense 😅 lol
Ye they do get frizzy at the start, even if they looked neat when u started em, especially if u have soft hair, i had this problem, but im like 8 months in so its fine now..
Getting them shouldn't hurt at all. The next day or so you should have a little soreness or tenderness. Just make sure that a few times a week you separate each dread all the way to the base of your head so the hair from one dread doesn't try to work into a different dread because that can cause pulling and that will hurt. You shouldnt have to do much maintenance wise other than palm rolling every day when you can and that should feel painless. Dont use the crochet hook unless you've washed your hair AND DRIED IT and then just use it for all the loose hair stragglers that have worked their way out.

Sir, I know this video is 2 years old but I thinking about doing that to my hair because my dreads unraveling
Finally you made the video that I wished you should make!💓🥰
love the video man, I have straight hair dreads and something i deal with a lot is my tips coming unblunted at first i started by folding over the ends like in the video then crocheting them in but after washing my hair the tips would just start to unravel and become just straight hair at the end again i find that pulling the loose hair straight into the dread from the middle and not the sides work a little better for them staying blunt but that just my personal opinion. keep up the great work you are one of the people who inspired me to actually get dreads ive always wanted dreads but i was nervous to get them because i didnt want to get judged for being white and having locs but thanks to you i can finally start my journey 2 months in today and im loving them. Check out 2alocs to see my 2 month journey
Power to you
How are they coming? Im at 3 months and just blunted my tips and finally feel like a real head now!! I tried the bamboo handle hooks but eventually did what you said, pulled the end back through the center of the loc. Dreadheadhq has a loose hair tool large and small that makes it easy. I still have a few to redo but man am i glad to be done with wispy tips. I get it though, im surrounded by Chump signs and get constantly stared at and occasional comment. Never TO me though, that's how cowards get down. learned that in an interracial relationship, when they're staring just make eye contact and don't break it , they look away even if with 8 other guys.
man gunther is the best man
Would you do videos with different types of hair or would it be the same as this?
Great video! 3a hair here.
Wassup my guy I love you so much man I think your hair videos are the best to me, keep doing the same hard work and I want to see at 1 mil
Wow an american that actually does social distancing.

ⵃⵓⵙⴰⵎ ⴰⵙⴳⴷ chicken nuggets?
@@nisox7358 he meant American no not race
There is black people that are more populated in America and also even if they are not black that is offencive if I said your race can't do social distance how would you feel don't judge because a person was born there judge because who they are
NisoX tf race got to do with this

Trying to see if you have a video on curly hair. My hair is not strait, but not very curly either. But your videos are the most informative. Thnx.
You make it look so easy.
Waves with straight hair!

Excellent! Thank you very much for this detailed and inspiring guide 😇

I've been watching you before the name guntha the great I am now on my 2nd dred loc journey and so far I got 19 and the rest is in a bun when I get the rest done but when you spoke about rubber pins I felt that cause I've stabbed throu my thumb last week twice and then last year I stabbed between the Webbing of my finger all the way to muscle
You the best to show this
Hey Gunther I have a question. When I wanna start out dreads, must i have an even head of hair especially on the top?
Not really, it just makes it weirder and harder

I love your video, thanx! just bought my first crotchet needle
Bro i really love your content about dreadlocks that so explicit would be nice if you make a vidéo about how to have a good section !!
You are a good teacher thank you for sharing
Hi! Can I just say I have been watching your videos since I started my dread journey 3 years ago. You are an amazing human, so thanks for everything you do. However, I think you are giving false hope to people with straight hair. My dreads looked so beautiful on day 1 with the crochet needle. However throughout the days, and months my hair was not so great and I debated cutting them on multiple occasion due to how the looked. I stuck it out and my dreads matured to what they are now. It was a process and not a pretty one at all. I would love to share pictures with you of how they changed throughout the months and years. But I do not have any social media. I’m not hating on this video, I just think there needs to be more information on time for straight hair dreads to mature. If that makes sense 😅 lol
Ye they do get frizzy at the start, even if they looked neat when u started em, especially if u have soft hair, i had this problem, but im like 8 months in so its fine now..
agreed. It took me around 7-8 months before I was like okay these are starting to look decent lol.
idk if it is just me but getting / maintaining dreads with straight hair hurts so much
Getting them shouldn't hurt at all. The next day or so you should have a little soreness or tenderness. Just make sure that a few times a week you separate each dread all the way to the base of your head so the hair from one dread doesn't try to work into a different dread because that can cause pulling and that will hurt. You shouldnt have to do much maintenance wise other than palm rolling every day when you can and that should feel painless. Dont use the crochet hook unless you've washed your hair AND DRIED IT and then just use it for all the loose hair stragglers that have worked their way out.
You don’t have to just separate and wash
It’s not made for your hair type, and your hair/scalp can’t handle the tension and weight that locs create.
Rufino Peraza that’s bs 😂
Hugo Allen it’s all facts though. Mfs with straight hair shouldn’t touch cornrows or dreads. Your hair will fall off
I did twist and rip dream and hate them iam gonna take them out and buy a crochet Nedsle and redo them thank you for showing me ❣️
Thanks Soo much Gunther Almighty GOD bless you, you've helped alot
Smart idea on the social distancing
