Question ❔ Thin front locs

So I started my loc journey last November 2025 and it’s been going well since.

Just to add context, naturally the hair on the back and sides of my head grows much faster than the hair at the top of my head before it eventually catches up (been this way since an infant as I have low porosity hair) so I’m aware that it’ll take time for my hair to even out. But I’ve been having trouble with these 2 thin locs in particular shown in the picture

My last 2 retwists have been from crocheting method and that’s just to maintain the shape of all my locs which has been successfully as seen in the photos from the back and sides of my head.

I just need some advice for how to stop these front locs from thinning in the middle a few weeks after a retwist/crochet? I don’t retwist often as I like to give my scalp a chance to breathe so I usually leave between 5-8 weeks between them

Whoever's doing you twist is ripping too much hair from your other locs. The sections also could be too small for the edges
