The blood isn't able to flow as easily and priorities the vital organs, leaving the hair brittle and dry. Brittle and dry hair lead to breakage and advanced, unnecessary shedding. Adding raw vegetables, leafy greens, seeds, nuts, fish and lean meats will certainly improve the condition of your locs and prevent unnecessary breakage.
If your locs are shedding and thinning at the roots, then we should investigate further to understand what is irritating your roots and making your hair strands vulnerable to breakage. One of the most important aspects for nurturing healthy locs is getting into a healthy routine, hydrating your locs with all the moisture they need to grow and sway healthy and strong, and to pay attention to how we treat our locs from day to day. Pulling our locs into tight uncomfortable hairstyles, or overtwisting, stresses the locs and often leads to excess shedding.

How Breakage Increases Shedding Even though we naturally shed hair throughout the day, one may be experiencing excessive shedding if and when: their locs are excessively dry, or not well moisturized When one twists and pins their locs into complicated un-protective hairstyles when one isn't careful when twisting and locking in their new growth.

I believe it is a combination of stress, diet, genetics, menopause, and tension hair styles. I want to keep my locs had them for over 14 years and just recently went to someone who combined a lot of them to keep them from breaking off and interlocked them very loosely from the roots to not add more stress.
And recommended that I not shampoo for 3 months to give my hair a break. Was combining them a good ideal and to start interlocking? January 21, at pm. I also do not agree with not cleansing your scalp and locs for such an extended period of time because the weight of weekly product usage not removed cleansed for 12 weeks will only make the locs heavier. I do however agree with interlocking to help to build the integrity of the locs if it is done properly.

What are your thoughts or opinion about combining Sisterlocks to combat thinning and breakage? May 17, at am. Thinning and breakage is not normal. So I would first question that Sisterlocks Consultant. And to address your question, combining Sisterlocks can help with thinning because it would strength them but it would have to be done properly.
It would combined them improperly it could cause more tension at the roots. May 20, at am. Thank you for the valuable information. Instead of proper budding some of my end are thinning forming knots and then breaking off. Is there anything I can do to stop this?
My locs are also very very very dry. May 27, at pm. At this point it is unlikely that you can stop the shedding because that is the state that your hair was locked it in. You can trim the ends to help them to seal evenly. Also, that Sisterlocks Starter shampoo is very drying because it is so concentrated. Robin Wheeler. October 29, at am. February 12, at am. Feel free to schedule a virtual consultation with me at your convenience.
Currently I am experiencing hair loss on my hairline. It has been going on for quite a few years maybe 3 or 2. Over these years I have switched hair products from waxes, to gels and from gels to essential oils. I am even considering dropping my hairstylist and doing my own hair. February 11, at pm. November 14, at am. I have thin spots in a few of the locs along my hairline due to post-partum hair shedding. I lost a ton of hair with my oldest son — when my hair was loose.
Two months after my twins were born, I started my locs. But I could not totally avoid the inevitable. Even though my hair was loccing, the shedding interfered with the loc formation. Thankfully the locs are not so thin that they will break.
But it is a noticeable difference. So for women, realize that hormonal changes and imbalances can affect your locs as well. January 17, at am. I am experiencing thinning locks in the middle or near the end of my locs.
I just lost my first lock. I also have several locs that are shorter than the rest because they thinned and cut them or lost them during washing. I am a culprit of not getting my locs done every 4 weeks or oiling it more frequently. I have thinner smaller locs in the front and thicker locs middle and back. I am thinking if I shorten them it will be less stress on my edges.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated. February 6, at pm. January 24, at am. I left tight braids on my locks for six weeks. Some locks are now thin from the bottom.
Is that good for moisturizing? February 22, at pm. I have had locs for 24 years. The last 5 years they have become very thin on one side and in the top. I have never had thick hair and my locs have never been thick, but on the thin side.
Not as thin as Sister Locs. But, my scalp only showed where parted. Now my parts are very wide and locs my new growth is very thin. I do need help! It is a good thing that you are aware of the concern and seeking help! First stop should definitely be a dermatologist to assess the Health of your hair follicles. Any advice or thoughts? Should I run my hands down them and try to remove any detached hair or might that set back some of the dreading process?
Do not run your fingers through It is not asnoticeablebecause the hair ends up brushed or combed out. Now that you are not brushing your hair, the hair is just falling out randomly. I personally noticed that my dreads form around shed hair.
I have a baby dread in the front on my hairline that has several and by several i mean a lot of shed hair in it. I have been dreading for almost 5 years and the loose hair around my hairline would never knot before now. So this little fellow makes me smile. Thanks, Taye. I will leave them alone and just deal with plucking hairs from my clothes for the time being, lol.
