lil baby dread just fell out!!! :(

Heyhey! Thought you guys would be the best ones to come too for some piece of mind during my crazy stage (3months in).

Just stroked the side of my head to see how they felt and a clump of matted hair fell out kinda looks like a dread has fallen out but its kinda small so I felt around some more and some of the little dreads only have a couple of hair roots holding them in place (my sectioning was bigger then how they are now) and feel super weak.

Was just wondering is this normal for these little dreads to 'die' I have quite thin hair and the little dreads seem to mostly be behind my ear or tucked away under loose hair if that helps at all?

Help

Peace

I've had a lock or 2 fall out. It does happen on occasion.

Did you do any maintenance other than the original TnR and back combing? Back combing takes a toll. It putsunnecessarytorque on your roots. It tends to pull out lots of hairs and hurt the integrity of the lock.

Hopefully the one you lost was just a fluke. But in case it wasn't, leave your locks alone for a while and see if the roots fix thmselves

Yeah I reckon the tnr method did put a lil strain on the hair but i did do the mistake of leaving rubber bands in for a month but took em out as soon as I found this website!

There like thick little balls of matted hair holding on to five or 6 roots its like the sectioning has shrunk, weird :S but i dont know if it means anything but my hair is only like 6 inches long so in the long run it shouldnt matter too much..... right? >.< but i will deffo leave em alone

rubber banbds most likely caused it

theres no root rubbing or root maintenance ?

if not then rubber bands are the cause for sure
