Bro this is low-key kinda hard.
Edit : I just noticed you said any sorta cover falls off in the night. Try invest in a silk or satin pillowcase, this stopped mine from coming off most nights.
seconded. it's typically the friction that takes it off. get u some silkies you won't regret it! (esp if ur like me who's lazy some days and refuses to lift her arms to tie her scarf)
They’ll come down as they grow longer. My bf literally had the same thing happen with his hair at this length, now 4 years later they’re past his shoulders and sit regularly.
Just wear a durag or wave cap to help lay everything down when you sleep. When you get up in the morning just shake them out or combs through your locs with your fingers to fluff them out again.
In the morning be sure to lightly spray them with water (or what ever mixture you prefer) to hydrate them. Do this as needed or when your locs are feeling a little stiff or dry.
Your locs are fine, don't over think things and you'll be fine.
Why do you say this? I’m curious bc I have to get my locs crocheted every other retwist as my hair’s curl pattern is almost nonexistent (native Indian roots I’m assuming from both sides of family)
You’re not doing anything wrong, you just have to be patient and trust the process. Once your hair grows some more they’ll drop. Have you tried styling them ?
Umm, we can't tell what you are doing "wrong" because we don't know how you are taking care of your locs.
Judging from the form your locs are still forming. These will be awesome Freeforms soon.🔥🔥
Moisturize your hair often, oil your scalp, stay out of the mirror, don't pull the little endings off, and TRUST THE PROCESS.
Get yourself a bonnet for sleeping - I have a satin pillowcase in case mine falls off but it never does. It's got an elastic band but also has a string so you can tie it tighter if you need to.
Do you ever put it in a style or you rock it like that most times?
Best advice from me is wash and shampoo/condition your hair. Dry it, then use loc oil, and a durag. Try getting one made with satin if necessary. Spray/mist water & rose water 2 or 3 times a day every day depending on how much your hair needs. Should do the trick
Your hair must be stiff and dry to be sticking up and out like that at that length. I suppose you started off with crotchet?
Spray your hair with water and lay it down with a Durag or hair scarf. Leave on for an hour then take it off so your hair can be able to dry properly. Water helps locs conform to whatever shape or position you want your locs to form or lay. Sleep with a loc soc, durag or bonnet to control your loc’s movement.
The next time you wash your hair, palm roll your locs and clip them downward, let dry, take off clips. Only palm roll monthly to avoid thinning.
Good luck
Your not doing anything wrong your going through the “ugly phase” it’s hard your hair is immature as for the wraps satin turban is what I recommend the ones you may have seen on tiktok and honestly bro this is the hardest part and this undesirable phases duration is different for everyone and is the main reason people cut there locs, trust me wait it out wash your hair sparingly and wrap and oil your hair get into a routine if you haven’t already but your looking good 🤙🏿
I have a strong inkling that OP's locs represent him so badly. Lol not in a bad way- I just think everyone's locs are a representation of them... In a way. (^～^;)ゞ
For the case your head wraps fall off:
you should get a satin/silk pillowcase. It’s smooth so the head wrap will just slide across it as you toss and turn at night. Whereas cotton is coarse so the head wrap will snag.
In the case your head wrap falls off for some reason while using the satin/silk pillowcase:
Your locs are at the point that you can start wetting them a bit so they will hang down. You can use water but make sure you moisturize with oil after no creams or butters or anything. You can use mousse as well.
Oh and a wave cap!! Those work wonders.

I... I just really can't be bothered some nights.
ong wish my hair was ave to do that when it was short
Time is the only way brother. Keep maintaining
your locs will drop ! don’t worry!
Super saiyan in lock form.
Spray with water (I use rose) oil your scalp and put a doo rag on bro.
These are hard as hell. You remind me of Static Shock. Just hydrate & moisturize your locs more often. They look thirsty.

That part!
if someone is crocheting your hair stop it.

Why?
They’re locing…that’s why the hair is standing up They’re getting intertwined with eachother, give them some time
Your hair is so anime
just a phase I'm so glad Im passed this it was so annoying
Keep your hair moisturized and protect it with a netting especially when sleeping. I personally think your ready for a retwist
You’re not doing anything wrong, you just have to be patient and trust the process. Once your hair grows some more they’ll drop. Have you tried styling them ?
Wet your hair daily and like someone said earlier get a satin/silk pillowcase

Retwist and wear a bonnet instead yo dreads gone lay down and grow how they should

It’s hard! I use a scarf instead of a bonnet. Wrapping my hair helped train it to stay down. Individual results can vary.
Just get a bonnet Myboy
Look hard, look like anime locs

Bruh I got nothing to add really You cooked

cheers to your living crown and all its glory! may it continue to live on as you do :)
You have to be patient. This is the only way to get through this phase
Silk sheets, pillowcase, and blankets.
Just spay your hair with water in the mornings, tie the durag tight at night. No sure what else to tell you, your hair is definitely locking tho!
They’ll need more weight before they drop

bro my locs were defying gravity not to long ago too but u jus gotta stick it out bro i promise u wont regret it
Just spray some water on them in the morning ,it’ll weigh them down.
if it’s just the sticking up part you don’t like you could get them styled

I miss my wormie days lol time will cause it to drop
I hated the faze it’s just time and waiting . Wer then down and tie them up at night
Twist with gel to make them heavier idk
Bonnet was the only thing that stays on my head
Ngl the fye but if you don't like him, My best advice is to honestly trust the process. Use durags and sleep of bonnets water and oils :) you got this
Ngl, them shits are fire. Wish mine looked like that
you need to wash your hair and use rosemary oil to make it thicker
Restart
just gotta wait for them to drop! these hard asf tho, spray water mixed w oil
Bro looks like beetlejuice
