In theory, if they are extremely small (skinny), they could break off solely because they are made of only a few hairs. However, it is unlikely you could create a dreadlock out of such a small amount of hair. I conservatively estimate that any dreadlock with a diameter (width) greater than 1/8 inch can not break off from the sole purpose of it being small.

However,
dreadlock breakage caused from malnourishment, failure to take proper care of your locks, or some sort of damage to the lock can happen to any size dreadlock. If your dreads are breaking or falling off, you are either doing something very wrong, or you are balding.


excessive maintenance (rubbing rolling crochet) can cause breakage
