I don’t do dreads nor do I have that hair type I just really love watching people maintain their hair that have hair like this:)
He don’t even have the hair type for them lol

Not me being bald watching these 😂
😩😂😂😂
😭😭😭😭😭
I just can't understand dreads, to each is own. For me I just couldn't handle the knotted feeling
This video makes me not wanna get dreads
beard?
Next video finna be about separating them 🤦🏾♂️
😂😂😂😂😂 facts
Damn 😂😂😂
Coo
Nah fr 😂 my guy extra delicate with the locs #1 let em do what they do
With a pen
This method definitely works. I went from 95 to 80 locs. I combine this way all the time❤
As a guy with dreads for 11 years you should go to a shop and don’t combine them that way better off just twisting them and letting new growth lock naturally It takes more time but It would look fuller
💯
Agreed, not retwisting often enough can cause thinning the same way twisting too often can.
@@darienbrewer8317 Hmmm. I've been free forming for three years. Never twisted since day one. I think the problem comes when you try to separate them. You just gotta let them be.
@@triedntrueiam no ur's are different, with twisted locks they thin when the new growth is NOT twisted around the hard locked part, if the new growth is long and twists on itself ur hair thins, u want half new growth half old and u want the new twisted around the old hard growth bringing the old down to ur scalp again alowing the new and old to compress together (just like how new locks shrink and compress before they lock) if the new growth is to long the weight of the dreads will keep it from shrinking and compressing.
@@NumbaOneso I had an interlock back in December of last year and I have not done anything with my hair since. It’s coming to 8 months actually and I have a lot of new growth. The reason I waited so long was because my locs where just skinny so should I get a traditional retwist soon?
Literally did this yesterday, with a few locs that were lookin' suspect.🙌🏾
Half of this comment section seems very... Rude. I feel like it was just a tutorial for how to work with dreads. It might not be the same way you would. It is how he does it.
And no, I have never had dreads. But I am a decently nice person who personally would not like that people hating on me for something that they personally wouldn't do. I doubt he likes it either.
If you ever had locs you wud know this is wrong 😅
This is not how u work w dreads in anyway shape on form. U here “these two look thin”. Why would u wanna listen to him😂
@@TristanAlleyne-e1dexactly
@@iam.Euphoriapeople combine locs alll the time that’s jus the way he does it if it works for him then that’s cool everyone lox journey not the same 😂
@@jas2357 tell em
Thats one handsome locked man 😌😍 God bless him.
I have a friend who has been talking about his dreads being thin, I’ll be sure to send this to him, he was planning on cutting them off but he’s been working so hard on them, I’m sure he’ll be thrilled
U fxcked yo friend over
Thank u so much. My hair is soooo soft and I work out a lot & I need to combine my smaller locs so I don’t lose any. God bless you 🤍
I feel like he should’ve never started separating them because they turned out to be to skinny at the root. Now he has to recombine them all because if he doesn’t over time they might fall off.
Omg thank you for this video!!!! I’m learning to do my daughter’s and my own locs now❤
My dreads are damaged from following this dude advice years ago.
That's on you brotha, you listened to white man on how to do care for locs
@@JourTheeOnly u right. I got wicked up n Orlando now. So my ish thick n healthy ain’t no fallin off now
@@JourTheeOnly😂😂😂😂😂😂
It may just be because you might have a different hair texture than him, look for advice from people like you
😂😂😂😂😅@@JourTheeOnly
This vid a gem. I just learned how to strengthen the thinning part in seconds. Shout-out Gunther
okay this was really good tutorial and explanation, thank you!!
Yes!! About time you fix them skinny dreads about to fall off 💯💯✅✅
It’s just his hair texture
@@lastejm at least 55 people agree with me 💯
@@lastejm to be fair he had had a full head of dreads before that are way thicker than these hahaha
I remember watching this guys videos when I didn’t have anywhere to go to do my locks, glad to see this if it’s recent
I love the technique!!! This was very relaxing to watch! Also, what a good looking person!! 😍
His voice is so relaxing *sigh* just gonna take a nap now 😂😂😂
Why are these comments so mean? Haha but for anyone wondering, this does work and ive combined locs like this. Or by just interlocking the roots together like he did then just twisting the ends.
Cause his locs look boneless and unhealthy
@@za-za2748💀
@@za-za2748okay are they ur locs tho? No so what’s the issue let him do what he wants with his hair
@@jas2357 I can still have an opinion tho feeedom of speech is amazing
@@za-za2748 boneless is crazy LMAO
Gunther been in the game for a minute I can’t lie
I LOVE THIS! He knows his stuff on locs! Do you know how to do starter locs?? you can do mine ! ❤
Super awesome to see how you’ve been evolving with your family and channel Chase… you’re THAT guy from the lil ol LK🤌🏾💪🏾‼️keep on keeping on brotha✊🏾
Yes, you can do this if you have strong roots.
Love watching people retwist or lock or clean their dreads
Apple cider vinegar rinse videos are to die for ✨
mixed people: exist
people of the races they're mixed: 😐
When?
How?

HUH?
WAT 😃
great tutorial
It’s more than a trend it’s a lifestyle I cut mine after 3 years because I respectfully understand I wasn’t doing it properly nor was I treating it properly.. train and error is the biggest key for me but I know next time I do then they’ll be perfect
‼️‼️
“Through thick and thin” ahh dreads😭
WoW 🙏🏽🥰 much love to you, great idea & illustration, someone needed this, and your cuteness doesn’t hurt at all 😘 God bless you …
Dude is so beautiful and has the most gorgeous eyes I've ever seen!
Just subbed because he's so damn cute 😍
I like your hair it looks nice and good job on your locs 👍😊
Bro I grew up watching this guy no cap on my wen I first started watching him I was on my first set of dreads now on my maybe 4th set of dreads 1st set of freeforms dreads❤❕
Same here, started watching when I was 16 I'm 24 now With 3 dread sets under my belt. Freeform, traditional twist, freeform high top
Last ten days Ive watched every possible video on rubics cubes, I guess its time for dreadlocks now
Phew.. I just accidentally undid one of my coils messing around with stuff and you just taught me how to relock it so thank you🩷🩷
The TH-cam shorts algorithm has decided that today I shall be watching hair content
Some of these comments are pathetic!🙄. This guys has locs & he cares for them in his own way! Hair is hair and anyone can wear locs, braids, or whatever they want! ❤
I'm always fascinated by these kinds of hair styles and how long it took for people in history to perfect it
Great job 👏🏾
As someone that doesn’t have this type of hair I was not aware you use can a crochet hook to help keep the dreads together. That’s so cool
Been growing for 27 years on my second set. I combine thicker locs with skinny ones and french braid the roots tight and loose the rest of the way down..i repeat this for the weaker dreads every retwist or hair wash session and after about 2-3 months the skinny ones are full enough that i dont need to braid anymore. (Keeping the hair oiled and covered EVERY night) My hair was thinning because im aging. Even my edges were thinning. But with this method, my locs look fuller, healthier, growing consistently, and my edges are even filling out. Been growing since i was 17 im 46 now its definitely a lifestyle.
gunther da goat I want to get dreads but my parents doesn't want me too but i love watching ur vids
Dont listen to anyone g do you!!
I enjoyed watching this 👌🏾💐
Bro you are amazing!
This is a good technique. To combat thinning, you gotta' make sure your ROOTS are healthy. Stay up to date on loc maintenance and maintain healthy hydration of the hair follicles and a clean, moisturized scalp. Most people have the perception that dirt and oil create solid locs and that's false. Solid roots do.
I realized certain dreads were thin cus I kept pulling my hair from the root 🤦♂️ 🤦♂️ I need to stop I think I saved 1 dread so far
I'll try this next time. I just combine them together and add gel.
Now yall can tell he has some melanin in him, why are you trippin??? And even so, it doesn't matter your race for hair🙄
Y'all would never say this the other way around 😂 He is what he is.
his hair type/texture is way different
@@jaharibell5689 suree
@@eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee562that’s a literal fact though
@@jaharibell5689he has 3c hair
You have learned so much about loc maintenance.
I had no CLUE you can use crochet hooks for hair????? Damn that's smart
Great quick tutorial… thank you
im bald and this dude farming his hair. respect
i hope y’all know that every hair type can have dreads dreads happen naturally in hair if you don’t brush it no matter the texture.
Cap my bf is white he dosent brush his hair often bc well he has white people hair it hasn't dreaded even when he washes his hair and dosent brush afterwards hasn't locked up in a year lol but yeah maybe with curly hair anyone with curly hair could have locs
That’s absolutely not true at all
@@stonerloner6330 well he should definitely brush his hair☠️
@@sleepySoloz he dose i make him 😂 im just saying no matter if he wets it brushes it it won't lock up it just stays the same as before he washed it 😂
@@stonerloner6330
I have thin 1a hair (that is also oily) and I lost my brush while in the jungle doing research for my masters and couldn’t brush my hair for almost a month. I could brush my hair out when I got somewhere I could get a brush. Was it fun? No, but I could do it. I did end up shaving it halfway through though as I realized I had to go back in to the jungle to collect more data/samples. So not only did my hair not loc it didn’t even Matt
GRRRROOVY 🏆
Is your hair naturally curly?
Duh
@@slizzy0no need for that response, if they don’t know him personally they wouldn’t know.
@@Jad3n.v3 he got videos without dreads
When gaptaincrunch acting like we don’t know this isn’t him still🧍🏼♂️😂
There's nothing dreadful about locs, so for people who don't know, they're just "Locs". Not "Dreadlocs". There's your "learn something new everyday" goal.
True but also eliminate loc…. It’s Ethers or antennas …
You’re the one who doesn’t know about dreads, Jamaicans call them dreadlocks and those are the people who popularized it
@Go_go_gadget u mad? You can make a point without being offended cuz that's what it's giving. I wasn't sonnin anyone just putting the info out there. Go have some ice cream and relax
@@trueblue8869 you’re the one who was offended by someone calling them dreadlocks
@@trueblue8869 you’re acting like white people created the term when that isn’t the case
great brother, I have dread locks as well
Them still small dreads make your hair start receding if you don’t prep them correct
I knew it.
Grown up gang
Locks are so crazy complicated, I can't even imagine the first guy to have well maintained ones, he mustbe been a G
Mixed people are the future
Yikes
side eye...
Weird statement
Wtf
Blacks are the past and future we created every race even albinos we are gods
❤❤❤❤❤VMA sha Allah so very good and beautiful style bro
You do know the crochet is the reason it’s so thin lmfaooo
Ngl I tried to follow this guys instructions and i ended up having to go bald like a couple years back
yall have to know he's mixed
But his hair texture ain’t mixed. It clearly leans in one direction.
@The Invisible Woman he's still mixed and clearly knows what he's doing why is it a problem
@@CatherinesClaws it’s not a problem but why you trying so hard to see his lack of Afro textured hair? This locking style is specific and intentional in Afro haired cultures. Not so much in the straighter hair varieties. Anyone can rock the hairstyle but only one group had fostered a cultural meaning behind it.
@@theinvisiblewoman5709 i'm not, i'm just wondering why people are jumping him in the comments for doing his hair this way.

Good video bro had mine for ten years but just cut off 6 inches

haha, GANG. #dontexistgang
I have dreads in spirit. 😂
What ever happened to natural locks? The old locks were so beautiful 😍
You saw two dreads that he combined manually, every other piece of hair on is head is natural loser
@@SirrLamee “loser”😂😂
@@SirrLamee gang it aint that deep to call someone a loser
@@SirrLameeyou know nothing about dreads. Natural means do nothing no twisting, no locking gel and no crochet hooks. These dreads are no where near NATURAL
@@BankAnglerBangs the word you’re looking for is free-form. The locs are still actually “natural”
Such great info!
Yall are rude asl
there a reason why his dreads thinning
@@lo11163he split his original sections in the early stages of his dreads, that’s why they’re thinning
A "bongo" 😂 so cute
Thank goodness that my dreads are thick
I’d love to see you with short curly hair.
WP called our hair dreadful. Please do not use that derogatory term. They’re simply called locs. Great technique and easy to follow. Thanks for the tips.
Man I cringe when ppl call them dreads. SMH 🤦🏾♂️
Saying this does more harm by reinstating that use, any name is fine don’t give negative connotations.
Your dreads looked good as it was
I just two stranded my thin dreads and retwisted them at the root and then they combined into one dread after like 3 Months
Damn 5 dollars would’ve saved you 3 months😂😂
@@864griz and it would’ve looked a lot worse too
These comments so hateful cool tip and your hair looks good bro
Sorry sir those are not locks. They are twists at best 😂😂😂
nah those are locs it’s just that he doesn’t have they typical hair type for locs
@Osoo Greenway everyone can get locs
@@baconstrips503 if ta hair doesn’t LOCK up you literally cannot get dreadlocks
@@hecticlungs4308 That’s YOUR opinion. They still have locs
I’m made my decision on getting locs I did my sh*t on my own tho lol now I’m 7yrs in
Locs, not dread locks are what they are correctly called. Jsyk for your loc journey. 😊
its a personal preference
Or dreads. Doesn’t matter clearly if he’s saying dreads. It just a choice 😊
@@gkdsoldier-xoit is a personal choice ofc, but many have stopped using “dread” because that’s how they used to describe this type of hair “dreadful” and so they were called “dreads” and some just want to discontinue the use since it had a hateful meaning behind it
@@SophiOnYt yea mb I made a ignorant comment 💯
People always say go to a loc shop. But I think as long as they aren't sister locs it's not that necessary, to have a person maintain them all the time. I've seen horror stories with people going to lo shops. I feel to start them yeah. Of they get out of hand yeah. But I've seen them charge people starting at $80 and not finish the drying process and not want to fix them. People hair locks naturally. You need to talk the time to know your own hair and learn to maintain it yourself
lowkey kinda givin me island boy vibes
Okay, I am West Indian and Black, fam is from St Vincent and the Grenadines...People forget Bob Marley had mixed ancestry. Let us be postitive and not exclusionary ❤
I think they are skinny because aren’t for that hair type 😊 not trynna be mean but dreadlocks were specifically made for type 4 hair since it actually stays together. And you can tell they are supposed to be for black hair type because you shouldn’t be able to simply put your finger through the “dreadlock”
Nahhh
You know you can obtain Dreadlocks at any hair texture right?
@@KKX300 they will never really be locked
@@WORKSbaby wym by that exactly
@@KKX300look how loose they are
Fascinating. Thanks for sharing
That interlocking thining the fk outta your hair 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's cool seems like a lot of work
Don’t interlock your dreads please 🙏🏾
why?
@@Uchiha-n1e it causes dread thinning later on. think about it when you interlock ur essentially taking your strong root and splitting it into two which takes a toll on your dreads and weakens them as they keep maturing and growing
Don't interlock often. If you interlock once or twice, you'll be fine. It's the people that do it a lot. Locs aren't to be always pulled on and touched. If you get a wash and retwist often, your hair won't grow, you're tugging on it too much. Your hair grows thickest when you're giving it time to grow and leaving it alone.
Well he has too… his hair isn’t really lockable
@@justhereforlaughs857 he just need crochet locs dude
You’re so smart and helpful daddy
y’all do realize he’s mixed right? or y’all slow AND blind?
Even if he wasn’t mixed there shouldn’t be a problem with his hair, in my opinion it’s a style that’s appropriate for everyone.
Does that matter?? Are you 12 fucking years old? It’s a haircut stop freaking out when someone gets a hairstyle that doesn’t align with their race/culture it’s stupid
Um...
@@Jad3n.v3 that’s literally what my comment meant lmao
@@LuisyArts uhmm what?
... is dreading your hair just needle felting with hair gel?

Right
What’s wrong with them🤷🏾♂️
“Thank you god for these takies”
I know y’all seen that grey hair
Why is it important to see the grey hairs?
Tell me why I was thinkin the same thing lol
@@EddieEScott idk u tell me
@@amari3x834 o... okay? It is not important to notice grey hairs because everyone gets them, and when you get old your hairs turn grey naturally. I know you might not have much real life experience, but if you go outside and look around (not at your phone) you'll notice tons of people woth grey hair!
@@EddieEScott you just typed a whole paragraph but continue to tell me go outside💀
I have young neglect dreads and it’s a wild ride.
I don’t like dread locks, it honestly makes the hair look ugly. If they braided their hair like the dread locks, I think it’d look better. But I do love watching how they clean them or just cutting them off.
locs are beautiful. they just do not suit this man😭 personally🚶🏾♀️
