In the beginning of my sisterlocks experience, I post a topic on the sisterlocks fan page, and it was about my abnormal shedding. I was trying to figure out if the shedding that I was experiencing with my open ends were normal.

The reply back was the following. The tip of your hair is dyed, and that may be the reason why you experiencing more than normal hair shedding. I thought that was a logical argument, as you see in my pictures, my color tips are almost gone. Were the color tips just shedding off? Is that part of the locking process? I couldn't find any topics about hair shedding while being sisterlocked. My sisterlocks use to sheds a lot, nothing compare to when I wore my hair as a natural, but enough to have me concerned. I should have took pictures of my carpet floor when my sisterlocks was shedding excessively, now I don't have much proof and currently not dealing with any shedding.

The white bulb that I see on my locks is something I figure that is part of the locking process. The white bulb is the root of your hair. Normally your hair shed off and you won't really see it. When you are locking your hair, the shedding hair get trap into your dreaded locks. I think the only way to really get rid of them is to dye them, but it really doesn’t bother me much. To someone who is wondering what the heck it is and how to get rid of them, now you know.
