Shedding a lot of hair

I just washed my hair, and noticed a pretty thick chunk of hair hanging down below the bottom of my locs. So I pulled it out and it was kind of shocking XDI know that your hair still sheds and that it usually stays in the dread, but I find myself having to pull out strands of hair every day, ones that are jsut super long, hanging out of the ends of my locs.Is this normal?

Yeah it probably is normal. Maybe your locks are just not tight enough to hold them in yet

that's what I'm thinking. It just bugs haha, can't wait till my dreads are so tight I don't have to worry about hair being everywhere! Paula said:

I have the same problem. I always lost a lot of hair, even before I started dreading. Now I find really LONG hairs hanging off the ends of my dreads like you and I am around five months in.

I had a similar problem a few months ago, (I'm at about 6 months now) so I stopped touching them and then when they got a little tighter it stopped altogether.

I try not to touch them that much, except when I have to put it up... or if I'm separating them... well actually I guess I do kind of just touch them sometimes, but not like all the time.And ya MiDread, it sucks huh? hahaI'm coming up on two months... like 4-5 more months of this probably... ha ;pThanks for the input =] Alex Angam said:
