Here's the dreadlock products I use www.greatlocs.com
Candyman
Any other sound effect but the discord one would've been fine 🤣🤣
Brahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Yeah I thought my phone was going off 😭
Yeah the discord one has me tweaking
What’s discord?
@@SahuKONG fuckin hell
4c hair is the natural dreadlock starter pack
amen 🙏🏽
Pretty much
can you do a video about best ways to retwist/gain length from new growth for ur locs, for example what’s better retwisting with gel or using the interlock tool
Great idea for a video. I'll check if he did this video
Started my dreads back in October with coils. Mine locked pretty fast, since month 2 I can wash my hair as often as I want
It makes sense because you’re a jedi
Yessuhh, I started mine November and after that first twist I be washing my shii every 1-2 weeks
Same. Bastardized opinion
ordered the loc bundle a few days ago and i’m ecstatic! really appreciate the videos, because of you i’m finally ready to start my locs!! thank you Gunther!
You mean, Gunther the goat 🐐
bro.. no discord sounds pls you got me buggin out xD
Mans over here using the discord notification lol
Started mine back in nov of 21 with jamaican castor oil, rip twist method( worked really well with my adhd lmao I would do this for hours a day), and using rosewater with cinnamon mint loc spray to help with the itch and dandruff. I also only washed my hair once a month but put water on my hair every other day. After 4-5months I went to a local loc artist and have been going for once a month she said for how thin/straight my hair is, they loc'd up pretty well within 6months but like they always say you gotta look ugly before you look beautiful.
Bro use anything butthe discord sound Pleeassee had me checkin every sec
bro stop using discord noises man are you playing mind games?
Feels good to be this early, appreciate all the great dreadlock content Gunther.
I started with crochet hooks but I started freeforming around a year into my locks and I have my locks since 4 years now. And my hair is super straight so there is no hair type restriction to freeforming
That’s what he said lmao
How did you do it? I also have super straight hair
I got my dreads 10 months ago with crochet hook too but they doesn't look as I would like and I can't wash my hair as much I would like
It's my first time debating on locking my hair. Need that motivation, my life has changed so much that this has come across my mind the loc journey!
Same :)
Do it!
why u troll me with discord sound?
🔥🔥🔥🔥NEVER DISAPPOINTS !!
yo i started mine bac in dec 2016 after watching your vids. now they are to my chest. even did two 4 dread congos, and put every other 2 together. man thanks. the journey has been awesome.
what about backcombing and twist and rip? I don't think you mentioned those methods
yo this got patched u gotta make a new one
My man has wanted to start his loc journey since I met him almost 4 years ago, but it’s just to damn expensive but I’ve been trying to learn how to loc so I can do it for him, he also has a mixture of 3b/3c hair but in the front of his head his hair has the texture of about 4a/4b, he’s mixed and so is his hair, but personally I think the comb twist would look really neat and clean, especially if the sections are clean. For someone with mixed hair like him, how long would you advise he wait to wash his hair after getting the gel comb twists?
one week.
think of the OLD ways of people..they lived near water so they I deed touched water every day almost. so...honestly using gel and his type hair..just twist, gel, wash every 3 or 4 days and retwist.after abkut a week the hair will be so used to beinf twisted that it'll try to stay that way
this was the most informational video i’ve ever seen about locs
Great video bro 👍🏾 💯💯💯
I’m glad to say I’m getting dreads in 2 days and I’ve been waiting so long for them I’m going with that crochet method and interlocking at the root cause I feel like that’s better for more active people yk so ya :)
Any updates?
@@nasceer9038 yes I’ve had them for almost 3 months love them all I have to do is wash them maybe once or twice a week but still let it get wet every time I take a shower sleep with a Bonet and ya it’s all said and done and I don’t regret one bit 👍💯💪🏾
@@skylerdebarr9926 anymore updates?
I thought those were my discord notifications at the start lol
No the crochet needle is just matting your hair
Idk if I'm the only one but honestly , and sorry this may sound negative to those who love and follow this guy's page religiously , but I don't see/feel this guy's soul at all , I don't sense Zen or passion or anything connected to the spirituality behind locs. It's like he can talk about this hairstyle the same way he could talk about an electronic device or something , idk why hearing this guy speak of locs throws me off....sigh idk what it is cause I'm not a biased person by any means , something about this...feels off.
I for some reason agree...
Been watching you for years man keep up the great vids 👍🏽💚✊🏾
If I do finger coils with gel and then crochet hook it a little later (I just don’t have the time to instant lock it right now 😂) would that also be fine?
Trynna get dreads like ja how should I start my hair is at around ear length wen twisted \ braided
Thank you so much for the info, currently learning to do my husbands locs. ❤️
For freeforms do I just wash with water or with shampoo? 7:31
A tip for anyone who likes the crochet but there’s a big spot you’re having trouble with locking or you have bigger locs; use a 3 pronged crochet needle!!!! Changed my life😅😂😂
do a video about EBK Young Joc dreads
0:05 bro u got me checkin my discord
great video, that discord sound effect though.. keeps confusing me till I realize it's in the video...
bro i love your vids if anyone reading this have a good day
what i find confusing is people say when white people have locs is that its cultural appropiation or something, is it fine for white people to have locs?
So over the course of maybe 8 months I just washed my hair, did a rough dry with a towel and over time... my hair just started to lock up. I am half Dominican (I look white) and my hair is extremely curly and frizzy, when I used to maintain my hair it would just stick up like an afro in all directions. But not nearly 2 years later my hair is pretty much just naturally locked up except in the front. I am glad I found this video because I am gonna buy a crochet hook and see if I can help the front out a bit. The issue that I am having is since its really just naturally locked, the sections are pretty much set, some are THICK and some are thinner :/ alot of them are surprisingly even.. I feel like all the odd shapes looks unique but also kinda dumb, I feel like I am gonna be judged.
Why the hell are you using the Discord notification sound??
Watching videos on how to grow dreads but in fact I'm bald 🥴🥴🥴
Your videos are extremely helpful I wanted dreads now for the past three years, I bought myself a starter kit and everything I need to get started a lot of people have been telling me that I should go to a professional but I feel confident enough to do it myself I also practised on synthetic hair what is your thoughts of someone doing dreads on themselves for the first time ? ( I only want 6-8 dreads)
…. 6-8? So you want the kodack free forms?
How's the progress?
I don’t ever plan on getting locs but I watched the whole vid through . Good video
He says how to get dreads in 2022 like last year’s method got banned 💀
Hello, I want to start dreading my hair and it is about 5 to 5 1/2 inch. I have already ordered the crochet needle and it is the same one you use. And I was wondering if you should twist your hair while you are poking your hair with the needle. Thank you
can you not fucking use discord sound in your vids it gives me anxiety
Dreadlock is a derogatory European term.
bro's editing skills are on point
Speaking up for us black folks (100% black) these are not dead locks. Lol IFKYK..
Bro honestly the best yt video came in handy had cut some of my hair off and restart my dread journey 😢
Thanks for being CLEAR. THIS IS EDUCATIONAL ♣️♥️♠️♦️💰
I'm about to start mine soon glad I randomly found your channel
My hair looks like a mop, you think locks would work in my hair? Probably haven’t had a haircut in 8 months lol
If it looks like a mop it definitely will loc 😂🤣
First
Damn I watched Simeon’s video like as soon as it came out cool that u used his Clip in the vid
Yea. I’m completely white. My hair is super straight. And I’m 38 and my hair is starting to thin compared to what it was when I was younger. I keep trying everything from free form to back combing and my hair just does not dread. At one point I had someone use a crochet hook to make dreads in my hair but instead of looking like yours did in the video mine looked much thinner and had really long whispy undressed ends. If I’d tried to blunt the tips but tucking those ends in my hair would have lost half its length. Already as it was my hair went from down my back to chin length just from the crochet hook. I ended up shaving my head last year and growing it back out. It’s around 6 or 7 inches now but I feel like it would need to be at least double that to get decent dreads. There’s this guy on UA-cam named Fabian Pacheco and his hair went from being down to like his waist to barely chin length just from back combing. Doesn’t give me much hope at 6-7 inches
who else checked discord after 0:05
I'm white but I kinda want to get dreads
im planning to rock the two strand twist method
this discord notification sound is so annoying and disturbing. Why would u use a sound that triggers you in a certain way for a video that hasnt to do anything with it
lol exactly my thoughts, makes me so fkin paranoid.
4c hair ppl are Gods.
does this work in any other years????
i absolutely needed all the information you gave in each vids .thanks alot
Quick question
I have thin hair but I want instant locks. I also want that "full" look. If I instant lock, can I make really small parts to make the illusion of more hair? Also, will the dreads swell with instant locking?? I'm open to all wise advise because ya girl is confused....
locs still go through the budding phase if you instant lock
@@hannahclark4593 thank you
Also straight hair has a chance of ending up one massive dirty lock so free form for us may not be the best but hey do what you want and cut it if it dose not work out then start again.
That's what I was thinking, I remember as a teenager struggling with my hair matting at the nape of my neck due to my brushing technique being bad, and there was no question of it forming into nice separate locks, just a big knotty ball of pain. If I left it unbrushed it would not form into anything that would be wearable or healthy for my scalp. I have mostly straight, slightly wavy hair. I think the freeform thing must only work with specific hair types.
Nobody do those ugly freeforms
not gonna lie, i miss my dreadlocks and now im getting back into it
I see the two strand twists are a lot similar to rope braids except a lot tighter, I’m obsessed with doing rope braids for some reason I felt I had to mention this.
U repeat urself too much it's been the SAME VIDEOS SAME TITLES AND SAME TOPICS SINCE 2017 !!!!!
THIS IS GETTING SAD
freeform tutorial please :)
Dude ur freaking boss! On my way! To get all the tools to do my hair today!! Thank u so much for the inspiration
He look like lil pump
Natural dreads have way more spiritual power and significance than fashion dreads, imo. They're formed by a higher power, whatever you want to to call it - Mother Nature/God/Great Spirit/Jah/Gia/YHWH/Allah/Buddha (etc., there's 4,000 religions in the world, ain't got time to list them all, lol).
There are no shortcuts to achieving natural dreads. It takes years and must be earned through devotion and patience.. They cannot be bought at a salon or made by friends, those are merely substitutes for the authentic experience. You can tell the difference between natural and fashion because natural dreads are all different sizes and lengths, they have knuckles in them, and are bent, not straight.
I personally think they look better as well because they're more interesting. Each dread is a unique one-of-a-kind entity that formed itself. You have to be egoless for awhile and not care what you look like in the beginning. It takes at least a couple years before they start to look good and not like a total mess. There's a less in the experience if you're open to it.
Does your hair have to be wet when doing a re-twist?
But..my son being mixed..I was lol on that ...yeah he played ya mixed side...but y'all better watch mix kids they will snap...if around they own kind. My son is that type never know what side gone come out these mixed kids. Lol I got one he s Scorpio... afro Latino.
Thank you for this lol, i just moved to Alaska alone & i have no experience with dreads, very informal video. Currently looking into how to ship myself the hook & gel. (3c hair, 15/16” long)
Do you think a person can do this alone? Or should I ask someone to help?
Do i need to section my hair or can i just twist with gel
cant believe i saw Sime in a Gunther video
How to wash your hair while u keep it dry?
Can i get a free ticket to your classes please, got no money I'm broke but really want to learn!!
Umm not sure i agree with the gel ....,? I know i had mine back combed, an good old crochet..hook You need patience...twisted looks very feminine really my old boss had like that
May i just ask. Are dreadlocks limited to specific race?. I mean is there going to be "cultural appropriation issues" if it's worn by anyone else?
I feel like hair textures in between loose curls and tight curls (3b-3a) are the most versatile. I love ur hair cuz it has more of that curly look when it's not mature which looks awesome, with mine (4b-4c) it's kinda boring and predictable. Ur locs now with ur 3c hair look different different to your last set, mine would look the same. I fw ur dreads Gunther keep growing ✊🏾
4c is the best hair type, change my mind
@@darealkenshi I won't change your mind. Its just my opinion, I respect yours ✊🏿
Why types 4s always sucking off type 3s?
My son is a 3b hair type & he wants to start locs. I'm super excited cuz I've had mine since 2018 & I love mine! We're waiting until his hair gets a little bit longer, but thank you for sharing your journey! I was nervous at first when he told me cuz Idk how I would be able to start locs on his hair type 😅
Washing the hair and allowing it to lock up? Uhhhh mine will end up with knots only lmao 🤣😂🤣😂 and it wouldn't look like locks.
Hi
I heard the discord notification sound at the beginning of the video and I opened my discord straight up. Damn...
My 4c hair keeps trying to Freeform itself but I don’t like the look 💀
Ive wanted to have dreadlocks since i was in 9th standard......Right now im in the first year of college and I've finally started my dreads journey on march went from an inch long hair (crown area only) to hairs as long as they almost were to my chin in almost 6months.... I sure have to say onr thing, that is, though i had a dream of getting dreads for the past 4 years but watching your videos was the only boost to my urge to get dreads. I am 2c hairtype and i used twist and rip along with crochet hooking for a clear looking head and i think the perfect hair length to start dreads would be if your hairs from your crown area reach your nose. Any more length than that is perfect for starter locks and Personally i would suggest crochet hooking only.....no gel, no product just wet hairs and within a day you can get dreads at home.
bra i thought my phone was going off w that discord notif
Keep going bro. We all rooting for you. 💎
Your hair is too fine
🙏🏾✝️
Don’t forget super small braid with fro like platz
Can I just pay yu to dread my hair it’s only to dreads lol
Need at free form tutorial I have like either 3a to 3c curl/coil pattern. I think idk tbh I need help. That’s why I come here my guy, fw the content btw
Hair growing out at the ends not locking and the root area is weak almost appears will break on it's own.
I will not lie, those discord sfx got me BUGGGIINN😂
nah that discord notification sound effect had me trippin bruh LOL. Good vid tho
So if I choose to start my locs with the two strand twist method and I want them skinnier. How long do I have to wait to do a twist out ?
I have a question, I got 2 Stranded twists like 2 months ago and wanted to go for dreads, BUT now dont ask me why... At one evening I untwistet them, now they are just open twists. They do stay together very well, can I just go and let them sit like this and turn those into dreads? Because they are thinner and obv. way more. (sorry if my english was bad lol)
sure u can, ur basically doing the freeform method
@@Hi_Lukio oh thats true, I already have like 2 wich are dreaded up kinda because the twist got untwisted earlier. But id like to go for a idk how to call it, "semi freeform?" like i wanna but them in to twists in a month or two again for a while to keep it some kind of coordinated would that work?
yeah u can
