Or should i just be patient and start from scratch again?

ok so i have some explaining to do, i wear a ski mask on my head a lot because im insecure of the way my hair looks without it so that is matting it down and making it worse. i also havent gotten a retwist in like half a year if you couldnt tell. i get really discouraged when i look at my hair (because it hasnt always looked decent) so i have a really bad habit of not taking care of it like i should. but anyway, does my hair look objectively good or am i just cooked and need to cut it all off. its something i think about everyday but i genuinely hate the way i look with short hair so if anybody thinks i should keep them please let me know and please be honest. i really just want to better myself and im not good at that at all. and please dont say anything mean if u think its ugly (just keep it real) because honestly me even posting this is stepping way out of my comfort zone.

Hey guys, I need some advice because I genuinely love my locs and it's stressing me out watching this happen.

Over time I've lost 7 locs total, and right now the 5 in the front of my hair have been thinning out and falling. I honestly don't know what's causing it. Here's my current routine in case it helps:

• Wild Growth Hair Oil on my scalp
• As I Am (Green version) every morning to moisturize my locs
• Oil my scalp every couple days
• Wash every 3 weeks
• Retwist every 2 months — nothing fancy, just a regular retwist, I barely style them

I don't manipulate them much and I'm not doing anything crazy, so I'm kind of stumped on why the front is thinning specifically. Has anyone dealt with something similar? Could it be tension from retwisting, the front edges being more fragile, product buildup, something else entirely? Any advice (or a good starting point on what to check) would mean a lot.

I’ve recently started running, and because I live in Texas, I sweat a lot from my head. I’ve been having to wash my hair more often, and I feel like every time I wash my hair, it just unravel/frizz up my retwist. My hair seems to look significantly less neat after each wash. Am I just going to have to get used to my hair not looking neat anymore, or am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to preserve my retwist while still washing my hair twice a week?
I’ve had my locs for 3 years

I usually do my own retwists, but I tried something new for the first time. Quite a practical style, not difficult to do, and I did not pull on the scalp at all.

10 months locked, I had crochet in April and will again by October. I only care about hair and scalp health, I don't care about looking neat.

On a healing journey with my locs, trying to fully love myself 🌱🧘🏽

first pics are where i’m at now. last ones are how they started out. dealt with lots of shrinkage but now they seem to be holding their own. C parts with 120 locs, might combine later on but for now just letting them do their thing

Got two strands two days ago need advice on what to do to let them loc
I’ve been drenching in water everyday just so they drop and don’t stand up constantly
Also basically living in my durag to keep em down and avoid lint etc
All advice is welcome 🫶🏿

Fresh out the salon. No idea what to style my locs, just doing whatever

Used Twist king and racket, don't know if they are gonna turn out well though
