I was told to be very careful when I started using my custom made locing tool, which I love. But after reading your artical I think I maybe waiting too long in between tighen 12 wks. Maybe I should try 8 wks instead. But believe me it is soft fine and curly. But go completely straight when wet. Would love your feedback. November 2, at pm. HL Stephens. March 3, at pm. I would love to set up an appointment.
But I live on the west coast and unable to travel due to health issues. And when I started my Loc journey 5 yrs ago I could not find one soul to even return my call. I am right outside of Vegas. Hi Heddalynn! I truly appreciate the consideration of even traveling to Maryland! Unfortunately, at this time I do not known of a Certified Loctician in your area. I have ONE thinning loc in the very front of my head, along my hairline.
I would combine it to another loc, but then my grid would be odd in that one place. I retwist at least once per month, sometimes longer. I have really coarse, dense, kinky hair, and my hair grows at a pretty good rate. November 2, at am. Is it thin from manipulation or the size of the foundation maybe? Sometimes interlocking can help to reinforce the thinning loc until it strengthens up. Ever consider that? April 10, at pm. I have the same problem.
I have thin locs in front of my head and side that I fear will break soon. I have a soft curl pattern, started with two strand twists, and interlocking. Part of me want to just do an undercut, grow it out, then loc with extensions with a larger size. I work in healthcare and have to wear my hair up a lot. So, frustrated. June 1, at pm. Regular interlocking and maybe a style for reinforcement may help you maintain your current set since you have to wear them up all the time. February 13, at am.
I live in NJ. February 18, at am. November 1, at pm. Thanks for writing this article. Thank you so much for reading. Yes it is very important to have a healthy balanced lifestyle and diet, especially with locs. Kemmie Malone. March 1, at am. My locks are starting to thin out in several spots in my head.. What should I do. November 10, at am. Hello, very helpful info…..
November 24, at am. Thanks for reading the article! I would suggest reaching back out to them to inquiry when you should come back. April 30, at pm. I stumbled across forum. Thank you so much. But I also realized that the ones doing this were either thin hairs from the beginning thats gotten thicker, combined locs, or in an area that had color.
November 16, at am. Alitash Tesfaneshe. November 27, at pm. I have freeform locs and I recently noticed a few are thinning.
November 29, at pm. How do you retwist if you freeform? Freeform locs does not twist the hair and lets it naturally form. January 8, at am. I do not believe you should […]. Did you know that product mistakes made in the beginning or early […]. July 26, at pm. I know this is a late response but I just found this information.
Thank you so very much! I was experiencing thinning and now I know why! Again, thank you! January 22, at am. Barbara J Benefield. July 30, at am.
January 20, at pm. We'll break each of these reasons down further. This is the easiest condition to fix as long as it's the only issue. You may need to increase the number of deep conditioning treatments you perform while making sure that your product isn't so thick that it's hard to rinse out of your hair. Also, apply lightweight, natural oils like jojoba or coconut to the length of your locs and your scalp.
Take time for yourself and indulge in a scalp massage, which is both relaxing and can stimulate your scalp as well. If your dryness is caused by dying your hair, particularly bleaching, then you may need to stay away from color until your hair's health improves.
Tension along the hairline or anywhere else on the scalp is, unfortunately, a big contributor to hair thinning and loss. It's important to vary your hairstyles.
If you wear a tight ponytail each day, it can eventually lead to your locs thinning along the hairline , and even at the base of the ponytail. When retwisting at the roots, take care not to twist too tightly; this goes for whether you retwist yourself or you visit a professional. Also, don't get overzealous with retwisting.
Some people begin twisting at the slightest hint of new growth instead of waiting it out. The frequency with which you twist your roots will depend on the texture of your hair and how quickly it grows , but twisting every week is usually too often.
Once a month is highly recommend. Sometimes, locs just get old, like any hair on the head that's been around for several years. Going along with age, the older your locs, the longer they are unless you routinely trim them back. In some cases, they become too heavy for the roots to support, which can lead to thinning and eventual falling. The thinner the roots, the more likely this is to happen , especially if the locs themselves are thick.
Creating a thicker base by joining the thinner locs into the thicker ones can help support the weight and length. Good hair growth begins with a clean, healthy scalp. Most people get by fine as long as they shampoo and condition regularly. However, scalp issues sometimes crop up, which you can't control. If you suspect a medical condition is causing hair to fall, it's important to visit your doctor, who may refer you to a dermatologist.
While most medications are beneficial when it comes to solving problems, side effects are common. Some prescription meds may have negative effects like hair thinning.
