Most of us don't like to be told what to do. We like to have control over our own life and that is why I will not tell you explicitly what to do with your hair. What I will do in this post, is tell you the advantages and disadvantages of trimming your locs and follow up with a video that shows my personal opinion.
Advantages
- Your locs look neater.
- You spend less time managing frizz and therefore reduce the time spent on maintenance of your locs.
- It is the easiest way of reducing frizz and hair that has loosened from the length of the lock.
Disadvantages
- Your locs may become a lot thinner than they would have been without trimming. There are other ways to manage frizz and loose hairs when you have locs.
- Trimming weakens the loc. The network of hair is damaged and not as carefully connected so you may end up with locs that break off (especially if you dye your hair).
- If you ever decide to detangle/pick out your locs, you will end up with a lot of broken/cut strands.
