Reducing breakage on the edges while wearing locs involves proper care and maintenance. If you want more help with your locs, here are some tips that can help you. 

Here are some tips:

1. Gentle Handling: Be gentle when styling and maintaining your locs to minimize stress on the edges.

2. Moisturize: Keep your scalp and locs well moisturized to prevent dryness, which can lead to breakage.

3. Avoid Tight Styles: Avoid tightly pulled hairstyles that can stress the edges, such as tight braids or ponytails.

4. Silk/Satin Accessories: Use silk or satin scarves, bonnets, or pillowcases to minimize friction on the edges while sleeping.

5. Regular Maintenance: Keep your locs clean and well-maintained to prevent knots and tangles that can lead to breakage.

6. Protective Styling: Consider protective styles that don't put too much strain on the edges.

7. Scalp Massage: Gently massage your scalp to improve blood circulation and promote hair health.

8. Avoid Harsh Products: Use natural and gentle hair products to avoid damage and breakage.

9. Balanced Diet: Eat a balanced diet with essential nutrients for healthy hair growth.

10. Consult a Professional: If you experience persistent breakage, consult a professional loctician for advice and maintenance.

Remember that everyone's hair is unique, so what works for one person may not work for another. Tailor your loc care routine to your specific needs and preferences.
