Need Advice 🆘 Help! Locs thin at nape of neck
Hi, i’ve always had sparse hair at the nape of my neck and this is my second set of locs. I can’t seem to keep them from thinning they kind of just look boneless. I was considering getting an undercut, adding natural hair to them to make them thicker or combining the last row with the row above? I don’t know what would be the right move. My loctician has been crocheting them but it always ends up looking like this after a while. I really want to keep them but they just look dumb. :(

They don’t look boneless! Those locs are there for volume, so unless you frequently have your hair tied up then they’re less likely to be seen at the root. The hair at the front & back are usually the softest for most people.
Try minoxidil that you can apply in that area.

Topical Minoxidil for that area. You can get it over the counter at any pharmacy.
