If Your Locs Are Breaking, You Are Probably Doing One of These 5 Things

[@9etherkween084]

Thank You for this video. For me I think my bonnet is thinning my edges, so I am going to switch to a silk scarf but you provided some great tips on breakage. I have microlocs and I do them myself

Hi! You’re welcome! Silk or satin bonnets are safest. One thing I’ve been doing since forever is wearing a satin or silk scarf just around my edges and putting the bonnet on top. I find that this helps to lay down my edges too (I don’t really apply any edge control). This also keeps the bonnet from rubbing against the delicate hair along the edges. Hoping the adjustments you make helps you see a change in your edges. Thank you for tuning in and commenting! Let me know if you have any video idea suggestions. 🥰

Your locs are beautiful by the way, but if you haven't went through any life changes that would cause a hormonal fluctuation such as pregnancy or menopause which will come to us all, your locs are going to be long and luscious until then. I would say keep eating right and taking supplements and mind the tension during frequent retightenings which will inevitably lead to traction alopecia.

I know my edges are going to be breaking because I made them so small.

Did you start your own locs? You can always combine to reinforce if you need to. In the meanwhile protect the edges at all costs.

@@ibyl Yes, this is the second time having locs, but they are a lot smaller than the first time.
