Your locs may unravel because of many reasons. Starter locs that were started with comb coils often unravel in the beginning stages. Locs can unravel at any time. They may unravel at day one, week 1 or even a month in.

Is it normal for your locs to unravel?

Going along with age, the older your locs, the longer they are unless you routinely trim them back. In some cases, they become too heavy for the roots to support, which can lead to thinning and eventual falling. The thinner the roots, the more likely this is to happen, especially if the locs themselves are thick.

Why do my dreads keep unraveling?

One of the reasons may be because of the texture of your hair. Softer hair often has a difficult time, keeping the coil shape. Locs can unravel at any time. They may unravel at day one, week 1 or even a month in.
