Wus up Gunther Da Great... Ive been wanting dreads for over a decade never could find someone to actually take their time to do it. Finally in 2019 I got my wife to dread me up..yes im a white dude even though that has nothing to do wit it. My hair is naturally curly so kinda was a pain in some areas of my hair to twist up by twist n rip method. I'm 3 days into my dreads n my head is super itchy n have to pat it to avoid scratching but ya ur channel n vidz helped me to get them so i jus wanna say awesome work bro keep it up and lookin to see more 👍

[@GuntherDaGreat]

that is awesome bro!

[@smashndash4598]

Thank bro. Quick question umm when should I do a retwist?

[@UMadBro5631]

Gunther Da Great yeah I work at FedEx and I sweat a lot. And all that sweat causes my head to itch really bad. Sometimes I pull out hair from dreads due to scratching. Do you have a way to prevent this? And how often should I wash my hair?

[@isamhadjih]

Steve Burch in the baby stage every week, (with some type of oil or moisture) but first you have to not shower your hear for 2 weeks, if you gone thru the first year you should retwist it ever 2or3 weeks but you can push it to 8 weeks.

[@isamhadjih]

DeAndre Carter every 1.5 week (my preference)

Lol that’s why I did research before I got my dreads to make sure cutting was not the only way to get rid of them before I committed and I found out you can comb them out I was very intrigued

[@unduhrated4498]

🤣

[@ladeet1252]

Even though there is shed hair in the locs there was clearly a ton of breakage within the locs that are often caused by retwisting. Even though they are long they are weak. There are people with long strong locs. The entire loc should consist of shed hair, yes, but also hair that is actually attached to the scalp. Constant twisting as well as products can cause the hairs to break which is why her hair was so short compared to how long her locs were.

[@KW-up2ox]

This video was dope to see. I just finished taking out my 12 year old locs on Tuesday with a rat pin comb over 1 1/2 weeks. I was surprised at how much breakage there was but seeing that woman take out her 12 year old locs helped me realize my experience was the norm, especially because I have 4c hair. Thanks fam!

It's more hair shedding than breaking.

[@kns5700]

The first guy has such flawless skin!!!

[@avidlearner3576]

You don't have to have breakage at the tips. People should be picking them not combing them out. Use a t-pin and take your time! I picked out my locs. It took me 6 months and I didn't have thin ends.

[@Damnnntee]

What is a T tip?

[@blendofdays]

I just finished combing out my 2yr old dreads. A few of them were all the way down to my butt! Tbh I didn't feel like pick combing the entire length &the reason I dreaded my hair up this time was because the last 18-20in of my hair was super frizzy &damaged. When I locced it up, my hair was 3 &a half ft long y'all! So about a month ago I cut half of them up to about shoulder length &then last week I cut the rest of them up to shoulder length &started pick combing them out. Listen, I get what you're saying about the end of a rattail comb taking too long-it does-BUT you lose WAY LESS hair by using either the end of the rattail comb OR like I did this time, using a metal pick comb &just using the very end "tooth" of the comb or the end 2 teeth of the comb. It took me about 2 wks to pick them all out. It was a huge relief &I lost way less hair than the first time I did it. My scalp killing me rn!

I had my first set for 8 years and my length was similar to vanessas in the video. but i retained a lot of length. my locs were even through out and not thinning. so i think i got hella lucky. im on my second set after some years but im about to comb them out. hopefully i retain the same length this time around as well.

What did you use to retain that much length? I have coarse hair but I have trimmed my locs twice check my profile pic

[@blkeclipsel2400]

Locs.. A collection of matted hair that wouldve naturally discarded had they not been entangled. Im about 3 years into the game and I never see any shedded strands of hair in my tub, bed or furniture anymore - Its all still in my head. I think thats one of the reasons locs appear to grow so fast versus loose natural. For those thinking of combing theirs out - be prepared to lose some length and volume.

[@danielynpetion]

When I first combed out mine (30% of my head) , I used a metal fork 🍽 & conditioner. & it took 2 weeks with multiple breaks. After this, few days later I put the loose hair in locs again 😋
