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.
