Hey b4 I found this site, i back combed my dreads check out my pic. Then I came up with the idea that I should just cut them off, because i found this site and realized i should have gone natural...but, then i woke up today thinking i should just 'trim' them like maybe halfway...any tips from u guys and gals would be awesome if you have ever trimmed them b4

you r nuts! if u ve gone natural,as u say, your dreads would look exactly the same as they look now. backcombed or natural, dreads do job themselves, just leave them and focus on something else..

do whatever feels right to you.If you like them the way they are leave them alone. If you really want to start over naturally go for it! If you're mainly just concerned with the length wait a bit cause they will probably keep shrinking until about 1 year, then if they are too long you can razor trim the ends. My hair was to my bum before dreading and now at 9 months it about to my shoulders!
