    Look, locking your hair is a journey. Not everyone is going to keep them in right away. Sometimes, it doesn't look the way you want, or your hair isn't locking the way you want. You are learning your hair, how it works, how it locks up, how it does what it wants. I've started and restarted my locs about 4 times, and I'm starting them again, just to see if my method should change. But I'm embracing this. I'm learning my hair, seeing my real curl pattern for the first time in my life, and I love it. Everyone has their journey. Let Gunther have his. That is all, carry on with your beautiful day/night

    What is your goal when it comes to your hair? I’ve been watching you for a while now, and I’ve seen your journeys over time. I’m just curious to know, is there a specific way you want them to look? Is it for UA-cam content, Is it like a spiritual refresh, or is it more of a personal preference to switch styles over time?

    I got type A straight hair this tool was the only way I was able to get mine to lock up it was still hard to do, but overall at the end some pieces were still sometimes coming out but that's also due to requiring high maintenance and not wearing enough of a sleep cap etc. Alot of things to do when I'm just stuck at home in quarantine, but I enjoy your vids def helped me get locs before. I ended up cutting them since it was so much work and sides its nice for a change every now and then, my hair had been long for years seemed good for being at home. :)

    Thing I don't understand is that, I've got my coil starter locs done, one month later after not washing I went back for the first wash and retwist and I just noticed that the Lady got my locks combed while twisting it, most of them were already budding and actually looking kind of locs already, I left the place this time with s* loads of gel in my hair, and it all looked like I did a starter lock again. Then I asked how long without washing it now? She told me 3 months, f*** this I can't stay 1 week anymore without washing my hair, my scalp has so much build up and sebum that I started to feel disgusted of myself, I'm buying a crochet needle right now mate and will do it myself at home.

    Enjoy the $$$hit out of your content. It really so good i feel guilty for watching it... However, what do you recommend to keep a 3c4a hair type presentable while grow the hair out toward the 6 inch mark or 1 yr mark. I have waves currently, but look to start this process as some point . Thank you

    If there’s any that are coming out I think you should instantly lock them
