[@dawnsaunders518]

yo you did a good job with that, that was alot of new growth. i cant believe all that took five hours.

[@likespacee]

yo gunther, you should organize your videos into playlists. i'm a new subscriber & it'd be helpful if you put all the how-to videos into one playlist, put all the celeb dredlock vids into one playlist, ect. keep up the great work bro

[@lyricalspittah4059]

Glad to see DoNate back. Stay blessed and loc'd.

[@lasaanjones8570]

Yoo my boy is in the comments!!! It's cool you're up on Gunther's channel man!! Stay Loc'd and stay blessed man!!

[@babyface7053]

I like this because it gives it that back home look without all the americanizing (like parting and putting all those chemicals in it)

uhhh am i the only one who thinks bros hair looks exactly the same ?

[@michaelgriggs7839]

bria akran-blackwell because he really didn’t need a retwist that badly

Huey Freeman because they didn't really part it

[@McCliffordCooper]

[@catricebarnes7887]

😂😂😂😂

[@DezlynnStonerMusic]

It was considerably longer

[@mewxtwo]

Dang, I remember watching this back when I was first starting. When I was still rubbing my head constantly with a towel. Now I'm almost at a year and I need a retwist so bad so I'm back here. Here's to almost my 1 year and many more to come 🙏

[@deontebrundidge3295]

he still didn't part each dread because they can still get caught up in strands of hair to where the retwist is just pointless

[@CeeJay254Art]

True

[@christiantasidaily]

Man they look so nice after, made a really big difference w length and tidiness

[@triforceize]

[@realtruth1448]

Kermit that's not his brother

[@lil-kingx3436]

Thats his friend but Gunther does have a brother.

[@otonashi2581]

Great video , something different & it's cool that his dreads are free form but still look good with the twisting method

[@michele6691]

This video was very helpful now I can help out my family members when they can't get to their stylists

[@magicmanwa917]

My dreads are down to my eyes I have the sides shaved and I only ever use a hard wave brush.

[@TNutte86]

Now how often do u re apply the gel???? I've been doing it everyday and I don't think ur posed 2, but it looks better

[@raphaelx2379]

I try to put it in every 1 month to minimize build up

[@biggerm7138]

retwist clean asf gunther thank god for your magical hands

[@AntiGuto]

If I stop using the product in the hair, can I undo my dreadlocks and have my natural hair again or would I have to shave my hair?

[@michaelmorgan6559]

Guto Lima it depends did you enter lock your hair how long is it and what products did you use

[@nolimitdil3577]

just twisted my hair like this yesterday, i cant wait to see my progress

[@LJTEDDIB34R]

Can the locking gel be replaced with coconut oil?

[@destinees7194]

a bwain no

[@TheAverageServant]

No way

[@roderickcollins3244]

How do you stop the shrinking after a retwist ?

[@WOLFGANG634]

Thank you for doing a video like this! I’m really tempted to put my hair in dreads, because I put my hair in twists anyways, so why not have a style that’ll last me longer and protect my hair? Im a bit scared for take down though. Some people say your can salvage the hair with patience etc, but others will just shave them off which I do not want to do! I’m still contemplating, but the risk might be worth it, because I’ve seen so many beautiful results with length retention.

[@Sweetlife201]

how do you know which direction to twist when the pattern has been lost and you are doing it on your own for the first time?

[@CoolieAyy]

hey when i twist my boyfriends hair the locking gel doesnt work well, when i use wax it works perfectly. is there a reason for this?

[@ChrineshiaxAmaria]

Anon ymous it’s mostly because of his hair texture . When I two-strand my boyfriends hair his doesn’t stay too well with regular setting cream or gel, because he has too much of soft hair, so I use a mixture of hard hair gel & wax & it sets perfectly ! You just have to learn his texture so you can find a product with some good hold that is also good for the hair .

[@CoolieAyy]

@@ChrineshiaxAmaria thank you so much, does this create build up?

[@ChrineshiaxAmaria]

Anon ymous You’re welcome love ! Build up only occurs when you apply too much product to the hair . As long as you comb out the new growth when re-twisting & keep hair washed you should be fine ! I wash my bfs hair every two weeks & there’s never been a problem with build up.

[@kyantedukes3122]

Nice video. I've been thinking about re twisting my locs after a yr of no re twist ing! Donates hair came a long way

[@jasonrios1324]

Man! You got the best dread loc videos. I started my own hair by watchin your videos. they are all holding great but down by the roots are still a lil straight in some areas, is there a way to fix them without starting over?

[@poppyshakoor6876]

His locs are looking beautiful so far!

[@rosev8698]

How long you let them stand before the dry ? And how you dry them?and is there any products you put on after?

[@sashaaquallo2045]

Do we have to start twisting the dreadlocks or can we start out twisting the hair when it's combed out?

[@VXception]

[@scrambledeggsg3493]

[@ChrineshiaxAmaria]

scrambledeggs g only the roots love

[@KyDaSlimReaper]

[@vivianembery4588]
