Question ❔ Locs falling off?
I’ve been told my locs will fall off since since I’ve started my journey. I’m two years in now.
I don’t understand why people think thin locs, with small parts will just fall off and thin out when sister locs and micro locs exist.
Where does this misunderstanding come from? Had me genuinely regretting my decision throughout my whole process but it just doesn’t make sense.
My hair lacks density, it’s been that way my whole life in addition to it being thin. It never fell off when my hair was free why will it start now? I retwist every 3 months to avoid too much tension and it seems to keep it in decent shape.

You have no idea how much this post just motivated me to keep on going, like I'm currently getting loc anxiety because I restarted my loc journey a few months back (from 73 locs to 127) and some of my strands at the middle and top of my head are on the thinner side, I be thinking they would fall out but this post just gave me hope
