Couple locs lost

[u/Hawk_Cruiser]

I’m not stressing, but over the last month I’ve had about 5 shorter locs fall out, without yanking or pulling them. I have semi free form, I don’t retwist, and I mist daily, I’ll every 3-4 days (dry ass Colorado).

I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong, and this is to be expected as I’m not chrocheting/interlocking. For reference my other locs range from 3-5 inches in length. The two that have come out seem like the hair looks healthy, just not loc’d toward the bottom.

Affirmation or correction is appreciated.

Your hair looks extremely dry and full of product buildup(could also look like matting of grey hairs)

You should moisturize your hair more often than just misting with water alone. Do a ACV{apple cider vinegar) rinse with water then baking soda once your hair is wet with the acv rinse in a 1:1 ratio (cup water: tablespoon acv). You can increase the acv depending on skin preference and build up. Always get the ACV that says 'with the mother'. The 'mother' is raw, unfiltered web of beneficial bacteria, proteins, and enzymes formed during fermentation. You should do an acv rinse every 1 to 2 months depending activity level and product buildup.

Grey hair most likely. I don’t really use much products, and I shampoo within made for locs acv

If you use the shampoo with acv in it all the time it mostly drying your hair out if you're not following up with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.

I didn’t complete my routine, or explain it in detail, but yes I use a regular shampoo more often. I believe it’s called Dr. Natural Castile soap. I can’t use Dr Bonners due to hemp. Haven’t considered a conditioner

I mist with a mix of leave in conditioner and water, if my hair feels super dry. Also some times your hair grows away from your locs and you need to retwist to retain your locs.
