I just redid about 3 of mines because of the bunching 🤦🏾‍♀️. Lord, I feel so stupid!

Here watching. Appreciate you sharing 🎉

Im glad I found this video. I was natural for 7 years before I started my locs, however I had 2 big chops within that time frame. I've been loc'd 2 years this month. When I started them I had a huge fro, probably shoulder length if it was flat ironed. I'm experiencing the bunching now and a few buds. I thought I was done budding and I absolutely didn't know what the bunching was, lol. So, I'm glad to see it's part of the process and also glad the loose ends is part of it too. Thanks and your locs are beautiful! Just subscribed.

[@CoreneGardner]

Naki☕ awww I’m glad you found this video too! I am so grateful my channel is helping you along your journey. Welcome to my channel! I’m excited to have you! Yes ma’am it’s all apart of the process. I still have a few that are bunching ( I just noticed them the other day) but I will gently tug them on wash day. I’m going to do a video of it. Thank you so much!

[@sharonstrider206]

I'm so glad I found your channel! I'm only six months into my loc journey, but I was starting to wonder about the budding and bunching. I was natural for almost ten years so I too had a lot of hair to start with. But this makes total sense. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

Thank you for this info. I am dealing with lots of bunching!

[@CoreneGardner]

M. Evans you’re welcome! Thank you for watching and subscribing! It will get better. After gently tugging on the areas that were bunching it loosened up and smoothed out. I hope this helps for you. Continue to enjoy your beautiful journey!

[@2013lovemy]

Wow, I hope mine can look HALF as beautiful! I’m 2 weeks into a new journey with thicker locs.

Thank you so much for this video. I was becoming so discouraged about the bunching. I’m only a month in and my natural curl has created a lot of bunching and I don’t want this to become an issue.

[@sundayellis4437]

Thanks you! Started my locs a month ago and I have the bunching, I was thinking I was doing something wrong. Love your hair ❤️

[@CoreneGardner]

Glad I could help! Thank you so much!

[@shauntellanderson2132]

Yesss! I just started my loc journey and I started my locs on hip length natural hair so I have been experiencing bunching. Now that I’ve watched your video I know what to do to combat it. Thank you because girrrrl I was like what am I going to do.

[@CoreneGardner]

JustNaturallyMe awww yay!! Im so happy this video shed some light on bunching for you my dear :)

[@kristinjohnson5162]

Oh my goodness I've been searching for this! My daughters locs have been bunching for a while now and we thought her hair was snagging on something. I hope the tugging works because she does not like it. She started her locs with natural hair to her bottom. Thank you for this. Hope this helps. I'll keep you posted. Thank you!

[@LemonadeB]

Thank you so much I recently started my journey and was assuming my locs were bunching but you were the best explanation however mine are budding and not bunching. Thank you so much love your locs

Is there a way to keep the budding and bunching? I think my hair looks better with all the different things going on

Thank you so much for this video. I’m 6 months in and I started my locs via two strand twist with some length. I also have fine curly hair and I’m experiencing a lot of bunching right now. I actually thought my hair was breaking off because I lost about an inch of length due to the bunching/shrinkage. This video just confirms another phase of my loc journey.

Just finding this but I'll be 1 year in next month and started with long hair, I had been loose natural for 11 years and my length was past bra strap also. I feel like I'm starting to see some bunching. It looks a bit different than my locs that are budding. Wasn't sure what to do about it.

[@ritalewis7466]

Thx so much. I love your locs.

[@CoreneGardner]

Rita Lewis You are so welcome!

[@queenquoy]

My first loc appeared at the very back on my head... then I realized it was bunched. I thought that was a "knotty" budding. It shrunk of course bc I too started off my locks with my hair long. I dont mind my locs being "un even" tho. I'm glad I saw this, bc you explained it better. I like to know what's happening so thank you🙏🦋❤

New to your channel. I started my locs with pretty long hair and right now I’m a little bit over a year. Some of my locs in the front have a lot of bunching and it’s annoying. I didn’t know what to do about it.

[@CoreneGardner]

MsReeTV welcome to my channel! Thank you so much for leaving me w comment. Congratulations on your loc journey. I know they are beautiful! Yes starting with long hair definitely contributes to bunching but the technique I mentioned in the video helped smooth mine out. I hope it works for you.

Hello.. Im trying to find the video on how to loosen up hair bunching. I started with two strands and longer hair. I currently have a lot of bunching in my 5 months in this journey.

[@lovelytee1342]

Good Morning, I have bunching on all of my starter locs I'm 3 months in , I did what you said to do with the water and palm roll and now some of them shrink up and look different, I have looser curl pattern to with some knots on them , did I messed them up by doing this because I like a more uniform look and now they look messed up and I'm really trying not to give up , but at this point I don't know what to do , please help

[@Textstyle]

Thank you ,this helps a lot

I’m so glad to hear that!! Thank you for watching and I hope you will subscribe and become apart of the family ❤️

[@moonaali9962]

New subscriber here!!💕 Question: do you tug the loc before or after retwisting? And do you do it while it’s wet or dry? I was watching this video bc I just washed and tetwisted my two strand starter locs for the first time today after 2 months and have some serious bunching going on! I watched your video and we are literally hair twinsies!! Lol my hair was also natural and passed bra strap length when I started, a few weeks ago my very front loc ( same exact as yours) had budding at the top and i got worried so I did the exact same thing as you and took it out then retwisted not knowing that it just already starting to bud lol! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!! You and your locs are GORGEOUS!!

[@CoreneGardner]

Moona Ali heyyyyy!! Thank you so much for subscribing! Welcome to my channel hair twins!! Lol. That’s so funny that our journey is so similar! I like to tug them when I wash them because the hair won’t be prone to breakage during that time. It’s easier when wet as well. Gently tug and use the palms of your hands to smooth out the bunching. I plan to do a detailed video soon on this process. Thank you so much for watching!

[@crystaldouglas429]

My hair dresser did instant loc interlocking method and

[@shakera02]

Stunning hair and so are you! Question, when you are palm rolling to smooth out the bunching and budding, how much pressure do you apply? I want my locs to be as soft and fluffy as possible and not compacted from rolling them with too much pressure. Thanks!

[@CoreneGardner]

Jhaiy heyyyy and welcome to my channel! Thank you so much! I apply light yet firm pressure. I will be doing a very detailed video soon so please be on the look out. Thank you for watching!!

[@donnaherrera6464]

My whole loc is bunching I was wondering why it was doing that I thought that's the way it should have been. So I didn't try to take them out. Don't know if I should wrap it with thread or just let them continue do what they want

[@xen2125]

I think, and this is a guess...a bunch is just "loosely" held together hair, just hair that has bunched up and a bud it more a solid, full area that swells up...
