Dreads threatening to fall off

Im sure this has been discussed somewhere, but Ill bring it up again

One of my dreads all of a sudden started breaking off at the root and after a few weeks it was hanging by a single hair. This dread was quite a bit older then the others, so I'm worried that the others will follow suit after some time. I don't use products and I just seperate them and palm roll them everynow and then. I would just like to know if there is a usual cause to this. I would really like to not have to shave my head. Thanks

they're gonna say to stop palm rolling, but i don't do that and had to cut a thin thin dread the other day, so i dunno! good luck!!

be less vigilant about separating too!! i think that was the mistake i made.

typical causes twisting interlocking crochrting root rybbing palm rolling in som cases and it could be how u seperared but doubt it

let em congo with a neighbour

Thats what I figured everyone would say. Maybe that dread just didn't feel right about being attached to me. Thanks!

that is a great way to put it!! it will all work out. i don't even miss the onethat came out, don't even notice,and the other dreads around it that were suffering also are doing so much better!! hopefully you will notice the same!
