Loc Budding vs. Bunching! 

My goodness your locs are gaaawdjusss!!!

Lord, I redid 3 of my locs yesterday because I thought something was wrong. Girl, now I'm realizing it budding....fix it Jesus! #newbie 2 months in...

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.

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

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

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.

Just finding your page, thank you so much! I started my locs long, we're around the same time and never heard of bunching. Now I feel like I know where to start working with them.

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.

The dislikes are from the people that wish they had there locks back Nuf said

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

Here watching. Appreciate you sharing 🎉

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.

Thank you for this, almost at 3 months in my journey. Still learning!

Wowww!!! Thank you so much for the information because I was getting concerned 😟 I'll be 13 months locked on Nov. 27th 🙌🏿 You are Beautiful and I love your Locs 🥰 I'm happy I found your channel 💞🙏🏿

I’m typing this before viewing the videos , but I love what I think is bunching, it adds texture, and I love it.

So glad I found your channel. Im 6 weeks loc'd and enjoying this journey

I’m so glad I was able to see this video. I’m almost 6 weeks into my loc journey and have alot if bunching in the back. Fat bunching, that I don’t like. So I will be trying to fix that, thank you!!!!

Girl! your locs are beautiful !! I’m 10 years going on 11 natural. I started my loc journey almost 3 months ago. My hair is long but my shrinkage is horrible!

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!

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.

Beautiful locs... I'm so excited to start my loc journey. TFS!!

Thank you for your content and keeping it short but very informative.

You and those Locs are BEAUTIFUL !!!

My hair is bra strap length and I'm thinking of locking my hair before the end of the year. I just saw your channel and decided to subscribe. Hello from the UK 🇬🇧

Thank you this video was very helpful! I just started my pic journey 2 months ago and I struggle with bunching

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

Thanks for this video, very informative. Your locs are beautiful!

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

1 Year in but I LOVE my bunching ❤️❤️ This pic is day 1of my journey

New subscriber!! Thanks for this video. I'm a whole 1.5 months in. I need all the help I can get lol 💕

Thank you so much for this video! I’m two months in my loc journey! This was very informative for me because I thought something was wrong with my coils lol 💜

this is my first time watching your video and I appreciate it you giving me all the information that I need because this is my first time doing my hair

Your locs are so gorgeous!!

Oh ok that’s what’s going on with me. I started with long hair as well. Thanks for this video, very helpful. Your Loc’s are beautiful 🌿🥰💜🔒✨😽

Thank you so much for making this video! God bless you!

our stories are the same!! 10+ yrs natural 2 yrs in locing! thank you for this!

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🙏🦋❤

Good to know...I started with long hair too. I just retwist some because I realized I wanted them smaller; I sort of free parted.

Your locs are #goals

Beautiful locs!❤️❤️💯

Great information!

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.

Hi sooooooo glad I found your videos so I'm 2years and 2 months are you saying my locs could still be budding .

Very informative, thank you.

I like the look of bunching 🥴😁🥰 also starting with long hair, about bras strap length and I have budding and frizz 😩😩😩

Thx so much. I love your locs.

yes I'm 7 months in started with shoulder length hair... n curly ...

Love your hair thank you for this video

Thanks 4 sharing✴️

Your locs are soooooo beautiful.... soooooooooo beautiful...

I love your locs!!

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!!

Thank you ,this helps a lot

Thank you for such an informative video. Does this apply for microlocks?

Thank you I had tons of bunching

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.

My hair is barely neck and my hair is bunching. It's only been a week so I know it's not budding. Lol

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!

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

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.

I’m the 1000 sub good video too

Hi what happens if you do nothing to the bunching will that effect the look of your locs?

That helped!

your locs are so pretty! I thought they were faux locs lol

My hair dresser did instant loc interlocking method and

Those locks are amazingly juicy!!!

😂 the back row of my locs look like that.

Your locs are so beautiful I thought they were faux.

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

I thought bunching and budding was normal for the process of locking your hair?!

what starter loc method did you use?

You look beautiful ❤😍 great video

Is bunching really bad for the hair?

You gat a nice voice

OMG, YOU LOCKS ARE EEEEVERYTHING!!!!!!

still don’t know the difference but okayy .
