The ugly stage is the stage that gives you the most confidence imo. You have to rock your dreads without caring about being judged and this stage helps the most with that. It’s a whole process to enjoy and I love it!

Being care free is the key. Enjoy other things in life, it will help with distracting you and the time goes by fast.

I started my locs over 6 inches and I’m going through the ugly stage bc I’m only 5 months into the journey. I started wearing it up more to hide it but I want to stop. Can’t wait to see my locs get longer.

Back at it 🙏🏾

It’s crazy how you cut yours a month or two after I started mine. Now you back & im almost @ a year in February!!! #LocGang

I always have a hood on in school😂 good thing we on Christmas break lol

Gotta say whats said is pretty spot on. I grew my fro out about 6-7 months before getting comb coils and my hair looked exactly like his, and after a month or so I got a retwist with a crochet hook. This was only 4ish months ago and my locs are already well past my eyes and ears (since I have a full set). I've been getting retwists once a month and every time I walk out of there its like the ugly phase all over again for a few days lmao. Just trust the process

One word about the video: GREAT

2 months into my hitop set and I'm hype, I started the journey for confidence and spiritual reasons. I heard the longer your locs get the more wisdom you gain over time.

Hey Gunther

I’m going through the ugly stage but my hair is long enough for braids so I get them braided every 2 weeks and get a cut so it never looks “ugly” even though it’s not ugly it’s just not at the length I want it yet

I have about 4 more months with the ugly stage until my hair is long enough. This is the most patience I’ve had in some time.

Your hair is growing fam🙏🏾

Gunther your growing my man

Great info! Thank you

Currently in the stage I honestly like them , especially after I shaped up my hair

Video was amazing!

You oughtta just leave the two strands in fam, they’ll lock in two strand form. So by separating after two months, you’ll undo a lot of locking that has happened in the first 2 months. I started mine with two strands. If you want a higher dread count, make sure your two strand sections aren’t too big.

Even with the crochet hooking I'm passing through an "ugly stage" but I like it

I went through the ugly stage, and I wanted to cut it but I went through and grew my dreads out for a extra 8 months

We say "baby dreads". I didnt love love my dreads until I could ponytail 😅. Ill get them again one day

Omg! My hair is same as yours. Same everything

I went through my ugly stage and I started towel rub but my scalp was exposed on the sides(beedee bee) so I just combed my hair out, it was still short so I'll prob wait for full year and just get instant dreads. For more context I was 4 or 5months in I think now. Da ugly stage tuff

Love the video you make. I have a question last year I had dread locs until I got hit by a drunk driver. So my wife had to comb out my dreads but it’s been a year since then so now I’m doing two strand twist but my hair seem so thin so what should I do?

Yo Gunther your tripping you look good bro Yo how is you so far already! Damn ....

I'm doing natural free form, no towel, no sponge, just letting them be. My hair is 3c/4a and about 7 inches stretched out. After just 5 days the back of my hair already has 3 baby dreads.

I believe I may have similar hair texture as you, do you have issues with your ends budding?

Do your dreadlocks grow if you get dreads with stright hair like do my dreads grow or does my straight hair mess up my dread locks

Dope

I don’t believe in an ugly stage. You start your dreadlocks, they’re short, you wait and then they’re long. Pretty clear to me.

I hate to say it but I did not make it out the ugly stage. Just yesterday I was contemplating if I should take them out or not since they were so short and ugly and I’m so impatient so I took them out sadly

I’m in the military for another 9 months and by the time I get out I will have about 15 months of Afro that I will lock. Will my locs be the same length as someone that started growing their hair at the same time but but stated the locking process months ahead of me?

@RainSounds90s

Your hair will shrink either way once you lock it. That’s what mine did. I had A LOT of hair when I was a loose natural but once I locked it it shrunk a lot. But once they start to lock they will begin to lock. I’m 9 months in now.

Yo bro another fye video

Love this channel this guy since i watched him has had so many different hair styles and makes them look gr8 every time

I'm going free I feel like I avoided the ugly stage. For one,I have a high top fade 2. My hair was about 5-6 inches when I started last May and my hair is thick . 3. Mine are free form so it just looks like I have the "thot boy" cut rn . Also free forming hides the scalp ,which I love
