I usually dry this way: When I am done rinsing very well. I take sections of my hair and start at the root and make my way down to the tips squeezing the excess water out as if I were squeezing out a towel. I go around my head doing this to each section about 3-4 times (it takes a few minutes). Then I take a towel and do it to all of them at once just to absorb the rest of the superficial water. DO NOT RUB YOUR HEAD! I can't stress this enough. rubbing your head just take out knots that are trying to form.
At this point they'll pretty much be dry to the touch. What you have to worry about is the water that is inside.
I usually hit them with a blow drier for a few minutes at this point. Sometimes I drap a towel over my head and lean forward and use it as a backdrop. You want to move it around a lot.
Let it air dry at this point. If it's warm out let it dry in the sun. That's your best bet. When you go to bed, check one more time to see if there is any more dampness. Squeeze the tips a see if any water seeps out. If so, hit them with a drier for a few more minutes. If there's a lot of water, do the towel method again, then hit then with the drier again.
This method works better for locks that are a little older. At the very beginning, all you really need to do is squeeze the water out. Blow drying is fine, but don't do it directly on them. Angle it away and move it around. Just for a few minutes at a time.
As they grow they'll take longer to dry, but if you keep it up, you wont have to worry about mold or anything.
And yeah, I'd skip the cut. No reason to shorten your hair if you are planning on growing it out again. I stopped getting my hair cut at all for 2 years before I decided to start locking. Not even a trim. Split ends happen. It's nature. But you get much less when you stop combing
