My dreads are pretty old and VERY long. I love them, but the weight on my head is causing me headaches a lot and the ends are pretty scraggly (I used wax when I was a newbie and the ends have wax and lint in them, I know it). I wanted to trim my locs a little, not too much, just to neaten them up a bit. I know it's unnecessary but I want to do it.
Are there any tips or suggestions people have for me? I've cut locs before, sometimes when a weak spot would form near the end I'd just rip the end off and I've had no problems. Some sites suggest putting rubber bands around the ends and then cutting, that seems too much almost. Should I just go for it?
Thanks!!!
