@@philothepenguin I had the same problem my parents were against it until boom I came home with two strands and it slowly grew on them they just want me to keep off my face
I always tell folks I’m gonna get locs. Then I always shave my head and get waves. Watching you go through so many styles has been entertaining, educational, and hilarious because your patience is unmatched 😂
From a 15 year waver and now that I have locs I’m so glad I finally had the patience to let it jus grow the trick is find a hair style during the mini fro stage that you look good in for me it was 2 strand curls until I felt like it was long enough to my liking and it’s been 3 years and 3 months and now I don’t think I will ever cut them or at least ima go 10 years
The journey has def been the best part. I work in professional setting and couldn’t imagine being without them I enjoy making them look neat I have a curly hair pattern and they really fit me
i started my locs around the same time as you did with this set of locs and i agree with you i hate having somthing over my head but i use a bonet now for past couple months and i gotta say the bonnet is the most comfortable thing ive ever worn on my head i hate durags and loc tubes bonnet is the way
I used to watch you when i was young and always wanted dreads but got straight hair, fast forward 3 felonies 5 times locked up, and a year in prison i got chin length dreads n i fw em heavy. Took a while to get to this point, this is my 3rd time doing em, went from 118 to 29 now like 60 somthing. Its definitely possible, just depends on how willing you are to stick with the long ugly stage and maintain them more😂
I’m a quarter Nigerian with verrrry curly hair and I’m really inspired to start my dread journey now bc my curls are 14 inches stretched, so shrinkage won’t be tooooo bad when dreading. Your channel is soooo helpful. Trying to go for full locks on the bottom and only dreaded roots on top to still have some curls cascading on top. Do you think this would look cool or should I just do full on locks all over? All opinions welcomed PLEASE!! I have 3c hair for reference.
I did interlocking on my first set of locs and it ended up making them look like braids. And I feel like it shortened them a little more than just twisting
Me n my wife had a conversation about colorism, dark skin vs light skin hatred, which led to a conversation about how we both are worried about our son being mixed but white complexion n red hair w/ dreadlocks!!!!!
Yeah of course & that would be normal but I doubt that's the case. People coming from culture typically don't care about outside perception where as people without it like the common African American are heavily concerned with it like this person explained. @@AbuYusuf-fz5bt
I'm definitely considering loc-ing my hair but if the only way to do a detox is apple cider vinegar I may have to pass. That stuff smells like dumpster juice🤮🤮
There's other alternatives to apple cider vinegar. I avoid vinegar and use a detox from Locsanity, it's grapefruit coconut and lime smells really good 🙏🏽
Any locs are good it doesnt matter if traditional or not. Like i have straight hair and 63 locs (back combed) and i used to think if people will question if they are traditional or not. Butbelieve me, after a small while of having them, you won't even think about it because your locs are YOUR OWN and it doesn't matter as long as you love your hairs. Happy Journey, Stay lock'd😊🤝
@@denisn8336 yeah you good it just that usually when people get braids there natural hair line isn’t the best so people get a double so it can look cleaner but if you’re is good you have no need
This dude talkin about dreads for 12 minutes, and Jesus christ comes to mind? cool. its like ur at McDonalds and the cashier asks if you want fries, and you reply "Jesus Christ" lol
People don’t like lighter skin people with locs because with their hair texture it’s harder to keep a neat style and their locs always look very unkempt, which inherently makes the rest of the loc community look bad. Like you can’t tell me this guy doesn’t look a bit like raggedy Ann, and If you have straighter hair why would you even want locs? 🤔
@@N8_Dogg Fr… this “lighter skin hair” that he’s talking about is what I have. I’m 100% Nigerian but yet I have 3c/4a hair with a 3b crown so does that mean that I can’t do locs either? The raggedy Ann comment was just so rude and out of line
As someone who only hops on this channel from time to time (sorry) I was flabbergasted when you said you had a son bro
Thanks for the video now I just gotta convice my parents.
just do it its your hair/life bro
Right like … ooo u be doin it

Don’t even have enough hair to get braids, I watch your videos religiously so when my hair grows I’m ready . Keep up the great content
Keep it up Gunther! I’m doing straight hair locks because of you!!💯💯💯

Regarding the Durag for sleeping, since I don’t really like wearing Durag for sleeping I just bought a silk pillowcase and it’s been great!
I always wanted dreads, You inspired me to go for it!

All over . You have great features and the locks all over would be beautiful

?@@YaelGutierrez-y7w
I was just thinking about all my older hairstyles as well. Definitely miss them but i don’t wanna cut my locs cause i like them a lot better
Me n my wife had a conversation about colorism, dark skin vs light skin hatred, which led to a conversation about how we both are worried about our son being mixed but white complexion n red hair w/ dreadlocks!!!!!
Looks cool
If anything people gonna look at you weird for giving your kid locs at an age they can't make the decision for themselves

@@xpcohiox that’s debatable, I would like to see them struggle for four hours while he cries getting his hair done!!!
I accept the terms and services.
i have a question: if i do sport everyday i should wash my hairs everyday . Is it a problem for dreadlocks or not?
i wanna start my dreads but i'm not sure if i would look good in them
ian gone lie. dude look fye with waves. but iv had my dreads goin on 3 years now
Just started my journey today, comb coil with Dimond parts
I was going to get locs but I got scared and I wasn't ready because I thought I couldn't comb it out and it was a permanent hairstyle
i combed mine out after a month cause i sectioned bad, but they are definietly reversible
Nahh gang I combed mine out after a year easily u gon be good jus use water when u comb it out if yu get em
Binging all your videos 🔥
Another con : always thinking there's a bug on your face, ear🤣🤣
Your videos are inspiring 🎉 my loctitian must love me I pay less than 70$ for a wash retwist and style
I wanna dread my hairs but it is good if i jusr use shampoo and conditioner
Are dread machines any good??
I am also on my 4th set of locs
Yo I wanna start getting locks and I have curly hair I need help
I don’t care if people going to hate on my dreadlocks
How often shud u re twist?
Can you do a micro loc tutorial
1) con for me is how heavy your head gets when your hair is wet.
i felt the cartoon thing tbh
They told me that my hair won’t lock up so I stopped combing it and the locks appeared on their own 😮
Do a vid on summrs dreadlocks
It’s funny because I’m coming mine rn

@@xgardenofedenx that's good to hear because I really can't stand that apple cider vinegar at all
@@cliffgiordane2969 Once you use it enough you kind of get used to it but it's still nasty AF so I get you
@Culani lol nah I'm good🤮 your locs look good btw
@@cliffgiordane2969 Thank you 🖤 you definitely should consider locs now that you know about the detox 👏🏽
I'm tryna get my dreads like how nba youngboy's dreads looked when he had his
think he freeformed his
@@grayisdead pretty much he probably sponged it
I currently have 33 locs, would that be considered traditional??

5:18 what have they been doing to me . . . ?? 🤨😭
Oh hell nah bro zesty 😭😭😭
lately a group of teenagers told me that i have wannabe braids just because im white bruh (and i have dreads not braids)
Im black and everything thinks my 2 year locs are braids, i explain to them they are barrel twist😂
I want to get dreadlocks bit scared my hairline be push back
If you don’t want push back get a hair cut and ask for a hairline before you get them.
@@Eli-sy9qcI don’t have a double hair line but I avoid tight style’s and maintain my hair every 4 months. Am I good?
@@denisn8336 yeah you good it just that usually when people get braids there natural hair line isn’t the best so people get a double so it can look cleaner but if you’re is good you have no need
You have people with no locs have funky hair
Jesus Christ is love ❤
On god it is

Just means you need to go for maintenance more often...what tf do you care its not money out of your pocket...
