nice locks man. i just hit one year natural on the 22nd too. just like you i have loose hair everywhere as well. what ive been considering is using my hemp string to tie the loosies together with the lock i think they are trying to get into but are having a hard time getting into. i did this once to get a few tiny dreads on the top to lock together and it worked well. just group it all together the with the hemp tie a knot at the base and then wrap the exes string around the lock loosely and tie another knot near the end somewhere. leaving it in for a week works well i think.
