My dredlocks are falling out one by one. I have no history of balding in my family. What could this be?
Traction alopecia is the most common cause of hair loss in people with dreadlocks. This is due to the tight pulling on the scalp. I wouldn’t expect each dreadlock to just fall out one at a time, but I really couldn’t say what you’re experiencing without an exam.
Stress also can be one of the reason to cause hair loss.
