Brehs. When and why did you decide to cut your locs?

[Sad Bunny]

I need advice

 

[jdubnyce]

Never had to make that tough decision

 

[Xcenai]

thinking of cutting mine

styling is limited, and I miss cornrows/braids

 

[Dreadknox77]

Had them for 15 years . They just started getting heavy and the maintenance was just starting to get tedious. Plus my life was going in a different direction, so had to make changes

 

[Givethanks]

Had them for 8 years and mine were down my back, I got bored back in 2021

I did 8 years to the day I decided to grow them. Had trimmed them one time, but they were pretty long. Documented the process on film, I think.

 

[DreadBrown]

Going on 12 years and can’t see me even thinking about it in the near future

It’s more than a hairstyle to me

 

[Lord-Yosh]

Had mine for 4years. Don't think I'm ever gonna cut them but I can see myself trimming them when they get too long

 

[NobodyReally]

The fact that you're contemplating it means it's about time. It may take months or even years, but you'll know. It begins with this question though so you're getting closer to doing it.

A dime said to me 'nice forehead' that's when I knew it was time to move on

 

[Zostrianos]

I'm about to cut 8 inches off and retwist. Mine are getting too heavy and it's flattening any new growth. Kinda miss my afro, but the locs have been cool for 6 years now.

 

[Buddy]

I been telling my family I will for a year but I'm horrified of the regret I'll feel automatically

 

[Sleepy Floyd]

It was summer in Honduras plus I had folliculitis bumps on my scalp. Chopped em off to take care of my scalp plus I wasn't so hot anymore with a fresh shorter haircut

 

[Money Be Green]

When my hairline kept going back farther after each retwist
