WHY ARE MY LOCS THINNING? | HAIR GROWTH CYCLE, SHEDDING, THINNING, & HAIR THAT GROWS AWAY FROM LOCS

In this video, I explore a possible reason WHY some people have hair that grows into their locs while unfortunate others have hair that grows away from their locs. ‪@AtreyuLocs‬

I love this break down. my hair grows away from the locs. It’s always looking crazy in between retwist lol

[@AtreyuLocs]

Thanks a lot. It really makes sense to me 🙂🙏🏾

[@kiykiyaaa]

You did an excellent job explaining this and your diagram is wonderful. This explains SO much about my locs and why they form the way they do.

[@AtreyuLocs]

Thank you very much! I’m glad the video and diagram were helpful. And thanks for taking the time to let me know 🙏🏾

[@yvonnesookdeo5358]

You did not suggest the new hair growth could be twisted around the thinning hair root. Thank you for sharing your diagrams.🙏🏾👌🏼

[@AtreyuLocs]

You’re welcome

[@DeepHerSoul]

Dude! Finally somebody els! I could t find anybody els who could explain what I was seeing! I’m only a year and three months in. I was thinking I had to start my loc journey all over again because of something I did. And yes, I do experience shedding and breakage. I’m still trying to find something to make my hair softer. It tends to always feel dry no matter what I use.

[@AtreyuLocs]

I’m happy my video found you. Yeah, you’d think more people would be talking about it but not so much. And no, you don’t need to start over. You just have to work with what you have. Btw, have you tried Yannie’s suggestion of rose water and vitamin E oil (a half and half mixture) on your locs? I know many people swear by it. One last thing...locs will never be as soft as loose hair because the tangling/matting that occurs creates a rougher texture. That being said, you should be able to find a solution to that feeling of dryness. Congrats on a 1 year and 3 months! Keep pushing forward!

[@Journey.ToSelf]

Brilliant explanation!! I am aware of my hair growing outside of my locs but I didn't understand the process and why it did it. Thank you for the visual and explaining it in a way that it makes complete sense 🙌🏾

[@AtreyuLocs]

You're very welcome! I'm glad the explanation made sense; that was my goal. Thanks for watching and writing me :)

[@ninabeena83]

You had me at the very detailed diagram and the use of the word ‘posit.’ 😊 Great video, definitely helpful as a person whose hairs are not really growing into the loc BUT I also was a prodigious shedder as a loose natural lol For me I don’t think it’s thinning though, the base of my locs aren’t changing per se, it’s just the fuzzy roots are definitely brand new / longer baby hairs not previously incorporated into a loc. I think taking my hat/bonnet off sometimes results in those hairs coming out (on the sink like you said) - like they’re young, shirt hairs for me but there’s a bulb...

[@AtreyuLocs]

Yeah, the shedding as a loose natural makes sense. Just because the hairstyle changes doesn’t mean the behavior of the hair and its accompanying growth cycle changes. So you shed with or without locs. I definitely think the use of my head coverings has given those daily 50-100 shedded hairs time to be caught up by my locs. But even so, a few still inevitably escape. And as for those young hairs with a bulb, it could be that they’re on a shorter hair growth cycle. Can you imagine if every strand had the same programming? We would go bald every time we encountered the end of a hair growth cycle 😂 I definitely appreciate this design more 🙂 Anyway, thanks for watching and sharing your experience with this topic.

[@A87-p1l]

I think you are 100% right! This makes so much sense. I’ve been wondering this for the last year of my journey. Thank you! I have a lot of shedded hair with bulbs throughout my locs. If you look at mine in the sun you can see those all throughout. My hair grows outside the loc but I don’t have thinning but that’s because I’m constantly making sure I wrap them to keep my base strong. I’m semi free form

[@AtreyuLocs]

I'm glad my theory resonates with someone else. It definitely makes sense to me considering everything that I've observed. And way to stay on top of that new growth that grows away from your locs. What I do now is braid the new growth into the locs and it holds so much longer than when I use to wrap it around the lock. If you get a chance, check out my video titled, "Braid Technique for Dreadlocks". I haven't done a retwist in 9 months and those former problematic locs are thick and still holding onto that new growth that I braided into those locs. It's amazing! Thanks for watching and for writing me!

[@BreeCraine]

I totally agree with your theory. I thought I was the only one who could really see this happening, but I always had a hard time putting it into words. Great video, btw! For me it happens most in the female/male pattern baldness area because that's the area on my head where the hairs have a shortened life cycle due to the androgenic alopecia. And I get shed hairs too even though my texture is super kinky curly. So for me, hair pattern or texture is not a factor in how much my hair grows away from locs or sheds.

[@AtreyuLocs]

Yes, you're definitely not the only one! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. And thanks for sharing your experience with this issue. It definitely helps all of us get a better grasp of what is happening when we share our experiences and theories. It is also good to know that this type of consistent shedding can occur regardless of hair texture. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@begreatwithme]

I'm SO SO happy to hear that I'm not alone in this. Thank you so much for your description and pictures. I think I need to start retwisting more often but the hard part is that I only have this issue in one area where my scalp was previously damaged. It seems like this area of scalp is getting healthier in this area due to having locs now and so I now have a flurry of new growth but it's not growing into the locs.

[@AtreyuLocs]

I'm glad the video was helpful. I don't know if you've seen my Braid Technique for Dreadlocks video but that's what I do for my 4-5 problematic locs. You should braid the new growth into the loc. It actually keeps those loose hairs into the loc for quite a while. I don't have to do it often and so that might be the course of action for you. Then you won't have to worry about undoing all of your hard work of allowing the scalp to get healthier through less maintenance.

[@begreatwithme]

@@AtreyuLocs Ok! Thanks... I'll check it out.

[@AtreyuLocs]

You’re welcome!

[@nazarite8326]

I think retwisting every 4 to 5 weeks is best... before the hair starts to separate and you can feed them into the loc therefore keeping the hair and not allowing them shed.

[@AtreyuLocs]

I'm glad that you've found a routine that works for you. That's very important in a loc journey :)

[@gayandrialivy8423]

Omg! Thank you for the illustration! I've always been wondering what it meant when your hair grows away or into the loc.

[@AtreyuLocs]

You're very welcome! Thanks for letting me know. I'm happy that my explanation made sense :)

[@1mrstoatley]

Thanks for this video. Super informative. I just noticed hair does grow away from my locs and it was a bit frightening I must say. The problem is that the hair is a bit to short to try the braiding technique at this time😒

[@AtreyuLocs]

You're very welcome. I just wanted to put this information out there for people who are encountering the same. I'm glad the video helped. And no worries, before you know it, your new growth will be long enough to braid into the loc.

[@angie101972]

I think those who hair grows away, have looser hair texture. Loose curls seems to grow away. Tight curl pattern grow with the loc. Mine grows away but I dont see shedded hairs. I haven't seen those since the beginning if my journey. I like how you take time to analyze and give your take on the loc process. You do good research!

[@AtreyuLocs]

I'm jealous because mine have been shedding since the beginning and haven't stopped lol Well, at least you don't have to worry about cleaning up hairs up all the time :) Thank you, I like to understand what's going on. I guess it's just my curiosity.

[@RavenclawSeer]

My hair has multiple textures so it can be a bit annoying. Now as my locs are growing and maturing the hair only grows away at the back of my head now.

[@LadyDeeThePoet]

My hair grows away from the loc as well, but I don’t have shedding, but I also have the thinning issue. So I just take the new baby hairs and interlock them. I HAD to start interlocking for this reason. Thanks for sharing this video bc I thought I was alone lol

[@AtreyuLocs]

Interlocking that new growth sounds like another good way to keep those hairs going into the appropriate locs. Thanks for sharing your experience. And yes, you're definitely not alone lol

[@mazznaturals]

Very good explanation that makes perfect sense to me...👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾 love the illustration 👌🏾 I’m a visual learner so loved it! ❤️ I’m trying to train mine to grow on the base as I’m semi freeforming at the moment. The ones that actually grow on the base are fine it’s some in the middle that don’t know where they growing to and to tell you the truth I don’t know which Loc to put them back to. 🤣😂🤷🏾‍♀️.

[@AtreyuLocs]

Very good! I'm happy that the explanation made sense to you :) Let me know if you have success with training your hair. That's something I haven't had luck with yet. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

[@mazznaturals]

SebAtreyu no problem I will let you know how I get on more of my Locs are staying on the base it’s just some of my middle ones. 😊

[@OasisBabeCo]

My boyfriend had a loc fall out in the front of his hair randomly. Like it’s bald, clean. Idk if he pulled it out or what but it’s been two months and it hasn’t grown back. I’m using wild growth HELP PLEASE!

[@AtreyuLocs]

If it’s been 2 months and there has been no growth in the area, that’s not a good sign. He should see a trichologist or dermatologist at this point. Hopefully, the follicles aren’t dead in that area. Good luck!

[@4079907]

[@Kimana-Ivana]

Hello, very informative video thanks. My hair grows away the loc too 😢. I totally agree with you and I will try no wash and no twist. Little hi from France, sorry for my english 😊

[@AtreyuLocs]

No worries, your English is perfect! :) I'm glad the video was informative. That is always my goal with these types of videos. Unfortunately, I don't think enough loc'ers are aware of the phenomenon of a person's hair growing away from their locs and the damage that it can do if you're not careful. My goal is to educate people through my experience with it. Good luck with not retwisting and washing for a bit. I should mention that I don't use products in my hair except for the occasional vitamin e oil/rose water mix spray. I also only retwist with distilled water. This allows me to not wash for a while. Please let me know how it works out for you! :)

[@Kimana-Ivana]

SebAtreyu thanks for your help. I am not alone Lol. I start using rose water and vitamin E oil nothing else and water. I made braids with roots too. See you soon

[@AtreyuLocs]

Okay, very good!

[@KennieshaLarmond]

i have the same type of hair.. it grows away from the locs. I think the hair that grows away from the locs are those with a looser curl pattern... i realize that persons with tighter curl patterns have much neater locs and hair that most times grow into the locs

[@AtreyuLocs]

Yes, I've definitely noticed people with looser curl patterns having hair that grows away from their locs. The weird thing is that I've also seen people in the 4a-4c range also have hair that grows away from their locs. So there must be something else also factoring into whether or not your hair grows away from your locs. I think you've definitely figured out a piece of the puzzle though.

[@kitcatmeowpurr745]

All of the RELIGION OF LOCS, is akin to saying ; (1) not EVERYONE who smokes cigarettes will develop lung cancer or heart disease (2) not EVERYONE who has diabetes will have an amputation or develop kidney failure or go blind (3) not EVERYONE who uses heroin or meth will overdose (5) not EVERYONE who drives at 100 mph will have a deadly car crash So what the hell, if I lose ANY of my hair follicles, so what A HAIRSTYLE is WORTH THE RISK OF BALDNESS. None of these RISKS are REQUIRED to LIVE. Nor is a HAIRSTYLE REQUIRED to LIVE. THAT is what I am hearing.

[@AtreyuLocs]

I’m sorry, to what are you responding? Also, what’s #4?

[@kaywil8228]

You are 100% right and I understood and thing you were saying. The diagram was dead on. I'm a little annoy with my locs right now. I've notice back in October that I shed a lot of hair. Everything you described is what I'm going through. I sit at my desk at work and I constantly see little hairs everywhere. I do have few locs thinner as it goes up to the scalp. One in particular is really thin. I will be showing this in my next vid. What did you do about this? Please tell me. I follow Yannie the Locologist and in one of her vids she states thinning could be stress related, an iron deficiency or something else. I've recently noticed in my loc journey that maybe I shouldn't go more that 2 months without a retwist. Because I think thats whem my hair starts to break off. I want to go months with out a retwist but I don't think that's a good idea any longer. I'm 16 months into my journey and I'm learning a lot about my hair. Thanks for the vid.

[@AtreyuLocs]

I’m glad you understood what I was talking about. I tried my best to explain it. To answer your question, I didn’t do anything to “fix” the problem. I don’t know that you can control natural shedding. I do keep my hair in a satin bonnet/tam most of the time which probably helps the shedded hairs attach to the locs versus just falling to the floor. And you’ll definitely figure out the best frequency with which to do maintenance. I’ve learned that if your hair grows away from your locs, then you should probably do maintenance more often than if the hair grows into your locs. That being said, my hair grows away from my locs and I’ve gone an entire year without maintenance because I use the braid technique. But yeah, you’ll figure out what works the best for your situation. Congrats on 16 months!! The best thing you can do is continue to pay attention to your hair and learn exactly what it needs to thrive. Thanks for watching and writing me!

[@AtreyuLocs]

[@darknlovinit]

I definitely agree with your theory, so what do we do because it does get short at my roots sometime. Once I started a new loc but the lady that did my hair made the two marry, that’s a whole nother issue though 😩😩 but I think I will start letting them start new locs however, it feels more like broken hair, like most of it breaks and not grow out. I’m at a lost truly

[@AtreyuLocs]

I would just let the roots grow out and then braid that new growth into the loc. That's what I do and it helps immensely. Here's a video on the braid technique: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKvdinxsfrB9irc Good luck!!

[@hillz1625]

My hair does grow away from my locs. However, I don’t have shedding. I think a quick solution would be to marry the new growth to your thinned out locs or combine two to three thinned out locs together to make thicker roots.

[@AtreyuLocs]

[@deviantcachonda]

I got 2 locs that my new growth grows away and not into the loc. Just wondering is it because my 2 locs that is giving me worries are thinner locs than my others. Plus it's near my hair line. Nice intro by the way. Your hair is much longer and looks great😎

[@AtreyuLocs]

I don't think it's because the locs are thinner. I have really thin locs that don't have that problem. The hair line might be a factor somehow because my problematic locs are mostly near my hair line but I'm not sure how just yet. The texture of the hair in that area might have a bearing on it too. As for my 4-5 problematic locs, I just make sure that I continue to braid, crochet, wrap, etc. that new growth into the loc to keep them strong. It's a small price to pay in order to have locs in my opinion :) And thank you!! I had fun making that intro. And yes, the hair is definitely growing!

[@deviantcachonda]

Thank you for replying, yes my hair line is a softer texture than the rest of my head. One thing though you did help me lots with the video on wrapping up the extra hair around the thinning loc

[@AtreyuLocs]

I'm glad to hear that! Thanks for letting me know :)

[@Bak2Bazics]

Very interesting hypothesis. I agree that there may be a correlation regarding hair cycles, but there's still that question: how does one with a hair cycle that allows hair to grow away from locs keep their hair from thinning? I guess the reality is simply accept that the hair will eventually grow away from it if it's meant to

[@AtreyuLocs]

I’m not totally understanding the question but I agree that what’s meant to happen will, and we can only work with it 🙂 If you get a chance, pose your question again. I’m curious.

[@IntheMOMENT22173]

[@AtreyuLocs]

Wow, random explosions, huh? Yeah, that's pretty telling lol Seriously though, while I'm not happy that you can feel my pain, it's still nice to know that there are peeps out there who understand the struggle.

[@tracydeniser.n.1432]

Good explanation. I think you may be right..I never see shedding hair but suddenly I just realized that my hair feels very thin at the roots I have had my dreads for 5 years and the texture of my hair is soft and fine according to the beautician so I did a lot of wash and go..but idk my dreads look very healthy on the ends and are long..but it's my roots unafraid I may have to cut them off or try sister locs..they aren't heavy but may be to heavy for the texture of my hair..will the root ever thickening BK up I started taking vitamins trying to help but idk..I guess I will keep them until I can't or joint them to reinforce but idk

[@AtreyuLocs]

Thank you. Yeah, I hope you don't end up having to cut them. Some people have had success getting their roots thicker by taking certain supplements including Biotin. However, Biotin has been said to only work if you already have a deficiency of it in your body. Other individuals have had success getting thicker roots by reducing the maintenance, however, if your hair grows away from your locs, that can be problematic as well. I really hope you don't have to cut them. It sounds like we have had our locs around the same length of time. Just continue paying attention to them and trying to figure out what they need thrive. You've obviously been doing a great job to have had them for 5 years! Keep it up! Thanks for writing me and for watching my video :)

I think my hair excluding the edges grow with the loc because my parts stay clean but I'm only 7 months in. So I hope I'm correct

[@AtreyuLocs]

Yes, I definitely don't have this problem with all of my locs, thankfully! I think 7 months is a long enough time period to get a feel for how your hair will tend to behave. You're probably good.

[@The_straight_path55]

and I shed lots of hair everyday...I can shake my locks and a lot of hair sheds will fall out..maybe 6 to 7 ..I'm staying strong tho...I'm not cutting un lest one fall out...I don't wanna put my locks through that suffering.

[@AtreyuLocs]

Yeah, it sounds like you shed a lot more hair than me. Definitely try to watch those stress levels and do things that keep you chill and happy. The shedding that I have is nowhere near that intense. I think because I keep my locs in a tam/bonnet combo, the shedded hairs that would normally fall in a given day (50-100 strands on average) are trapped inside my cap until I take my locs out and so then they finally hit the countertop.

Well thought through and explained. It makes sense. I also think it is hair textures too. I have different textures on my head and the ones that have the thinning at the base are a more loose texture than my locs from the top of your visual aide lol which was well drawn btw.

[@AtreyuLocs]

I'm sorry to hear about the state of your locs right now. Thankfully, the locs that were thinning closest to my scalp, aren't thinning anymore. Once I figured out that my hair grows away from my locs and that I need to reincorporate the new growth back into the loc, I was gravy. I just started braiding the new growth into the loc and it has worked wonders. Any yeah, you gotta be careful with the bleach when dyeing your locs. That's why I haven't given into the temptation to bleach my tips. It looks so sweet but I keep thinking about the potential damage it could do. The highlights near the end of MY locs came from when I bleached and dyed my hair before I got locs. So I don't have to worry about my locs unraveling or looking bushy, thankfully. Maybe as your set of locs gets longer, you can gradually cut off the damaged part of your locs until you have a completely healthy set, from root to tip! Just a thought. In the meantime, stick with it and stay locked!!

[@vale-md3ed]

If you are shedding from the locs your locs are probably to dry and brittle. If the tips are shedding it due to dye still being inside them - You never can wash out all the dye inside of locs if you have very kinky hair.

[@OnlyKnigsWearGold]

So eventually will it grow with the loc?

[@AtreyuLocs]

Depends on your hair. Check out my Braid Technique For Locs video as well as the updates. Once I braided the hair into the loc, I was pretty much all set.

[@itsjusBee9687]

Thank goodness for this video! It makes perfect sense! I recently decided to give my locs a break and I didn’t twist for 12 weeks, when I did finally retwist, my roots were suddenly extremely thin! I’m completely freaked out! Since you’ve been through this, will the part that isn’t locked yet mature into thin mature locs or will it thicken up as it goes through the locking process? I’m clearly going to have to start twisting again every 4 to 6 weeks again and never go this long again? Did your locs easily recover or did it take a while? Advice! I need advice! Help 🙏🏾

[@AtreyuLocs]

How the loc will turn out depends on how you proceed once the maintenance resumes. For instance, if you braid the new growth into the loc, then it should be fine. Watch my "Braid Technique for Dreadlocks" video and you'll see what I mean. Basically, when you braid that hair into the loc, you've put the hair back where it should have been all along and the locs grow out like normal. Earlier in my journey, I would wrap the new growth around the loc, which worked decently well but, sometimes, it would unravel and therefore not completely fill in the space of the loc that was thinner. When that happened (this was when I was first discovering that my new growth grows away from my locs) I had to use my beard hair to fill in those thin parts of the loc because I had missed the opportunity to fill in the space with the new growth. I repaired 4 or 5 locs with my beard hair. But now that I braid the new growth into the loc, it's more secure and so my locs retain the thickness that they've always had. It's hard to explain in the comment section. Just watch the videos in my Loc Repair playlist. I go into detail. I think you'll be fine, so don't panic. And just so you know, I retwist every 2 months now with no issues. I might also make a video on this topic. I hope this helps!

Now take that drawing of the hairs that grow away from the loc, and have those loose hairs (which are more straight or wavy) reach out, lasso, and then bury themselves in some of those other locs, and you have illustrated my major loc struggle! I don’t have much of a shedding issue, I started off with 2ST, and maintain with palm rolling; but in retrospect, I’m wondering if for those of us that have this issue, perhaps interlocking would’ve been the better way to go.

[@AtreyuLocs]

Wow, this message was in my spam folder. Sorry for the late reply. Hahaha...you are too funny, especially with the lasso part LOL! Yeah, I know the struggle is absolutely real for you. You'll get it in order though. To be honest, I can't ever see myself interlocking. I want to be the one maintaining my hair and I don't trust myself to not make a mistake while interlocking. So I'll just continue to trod this harder path, which is ever so rewarding :)
