The best EXPLANATION /VISUAL I’ve seen thus far. I love my bunching and LOVE the depth it’s given bcuz my hair isn’t all one length now ❤

Thank you soooo much for your thorough and clear explanation with examples. Started my locs with interlocked roots and two strand twisted relaxed ends 5 weeks ago. I have, what I now know to be bunching from watching your video, forming on some of twists and will correct them. Thank you very much. There aren't a lot of knowledgeable people on here talking about different textures and locs. I appreciate you.

Hands down one of the best loctitians I’ve ever seen. This is exactly what is happening to my hair and why I cut my locs before. They bunched up so bad that they came out very thick and lumpy. So happy I found this early in my new journey!

Wow!! Thank you soo much. A friend started mine for me (using 2 strand twist) which looked great but as I am progressing i noticed in the back they are locking but shorter than the rest of my hair (was mid back length) but as they locked those got really short and now i know its because I have that loose curl pattern. Not bothered much, they of course will be shorter than the rest but trying to enjoy the process - so thank you. I will catch and pay closer attention to them now. The locks at the nap of my neck are set... AND locked. That kitchen cooked quick 😬😳😂.

I just combed out at the ends of at least 15 locs in the front of my hair that were doing this. I didnt know what it was called and couldn't figure out the reason. I knew it was because of texture because it was only happening in the front and my back was locking fine. My daughter has not experienced this at all and her hair texture is different so I was going crazy. You saved my life. I was about to cut off the ends because i was so over it😭. Thank you so much.

I’m two months into this loc journey (3 rd try). I had real bad bunching on the 1st set and took them out. The 2nd had bunching but no to bad an I actually liked then, I just missed my curls an took them out. This timeI ’m really working to keep this set from bunching to much but because of my texture I’ve already accepted that I’m always going to have some lumps an I’m fine with that. Thank you for a the video.

My hair was bunching and my location didn’t bring it to my attention. However I take full responsibility because it my hair and I had left it up to her to take care of it. I should have done my own homework. Now I go through them before every retie and run between my thumb and finger along the full length of the hair.

After the shampoo and steam treatment the hair should be soft enough to stretch if you pull out the bunched area. At 5 months it should be able to be repaired before it Locs up into a bunched ball.

If my locs are all bunched at 1 1/2 years in, is it too late to repair them? Or should I just cut them off? I started with long hair, got instant locs, but wasn’t ready for this bunching up. And mine bunched badly, immediately. Was too embarrassed to get help. Oh and the stylist who started them quit doing hair, so I’ve been on my own doing them. It’s going okay, but I know I need professional help.

Thanks for your question. It really depends on the maturity of your Locs. Even though your are more than a year in, it’s still possible to be able to repair. Find a Loctician who you can have a consultation with to find out.

Shrinkage and budding is definitely part of the Locing process. Bunching doesn’t happen to everyone and it’s up to the person to keep it bunched as it Locs or not.

Hi! It will make your locs have an inconsistent shape which, I guess, would make them appear thicker. But if you are only 1 month in your locs haven’t started budding yet. Budding makes them thicken up.

Yes, the budding means your hair is matting and Locing. When bunching Locs in that state it may look bumpy. It happens more with loose curly/straight hair.
