"Maintenance on the roots in the last thing you want to do.  Not that you should want to do maintenance on the rest of the lock, but any root maintenance is going to cause more damage that will be noticeable sooner, hence them falling out"

Jessica Reyes replied to Lola Carrillo's discussion Loose and thinning hair
"Probaby why they fell out, cuz of all the root maintanence...leave them alone, get some of the gel. But if he wants them to fall out again, go right on twisting and root rubbing. Ull probably be back in another year or so asking the same question "
