This just gave me the confidence I needed to cut my locs of 12 years. They’re getting into EVERYTHING and causing neck pain when I sleep. OVER IT! Thanks for the tutorial. 💜

[@svivican]

Same I did it and I slept so much better… It got to the point I couldn’t even take bun on top…

[@liniekaranu1203]

I am currently in this situation... I will cut mine this weekend!

[@notmebutyou8350]

I had mine cut for the first time back in September of 2022 after eight years. I can't even imagine 12 years of growth! My longest one was at my tailbone!! You sure feel much lighter after getting them cut, and you're absolutely right about the neck pain. They are very heavy, especially when they are wet!!

[@clarissemorris-ssali2504]

I just used your method to cut my waist length locs to shoulder length. It works, espcialliy using the yarn! Now I’m more confident to keep cutting/trimming them myself in future!

[@crystalgrayson59]

I just tried this method and the yarn was a major help! My hair feel so light now

[@JungleBarbie]

yeah!!!

[@tinamarie8061]

Here because I’m cutting mine for the first time after 15 years of growth! Lord be with me!

[@JungleBarbie]

wow!!! How did it turn out?

[@chubbychuckle]

This video is genius. I always said I didn't want my locs to get too long but as they did I didn't know how to cut them.

[@Jessx]

i love it! it's so flattering on you. wash days must be a bit easier for you now. and thank you for showing us this genius way to cut layers into locs. there was absolutely no information out there on how to do so till now.

[@JungleBarbie]

thank you. Can I tell you wash day was a breeze? Glad I was able to help

[@fayhenry3618]

I'm considering cutting my locs after 8 years. I love the idea of using yarn as a base to assist with cutting your locs. Thanks for sharing!!

[@JungleBarbie]

I will be cutting mine again soon. It has gotten so long . Let me know how it went.

[@fayhenry3618]

@@JungleBarbie I trimmed my locs last night. I've gone from tailbone length to waist length. It feels so good and much lighter. I may trim them again after my next wash. I was a bit nervous, but I just went for it. Thank you again for sharing your experience!!

[@audreym8466]

Your video has helped my hair cut to be just as fabulous as yours. I used a measuring tape for my desired length. Excellent video, especially for locs.

[@JungleBarbie]

I am happy it was clear enough for you to follow. Stay tune for more videos.

[@p31diva]

Using the yarn was genius!

[@JungleBarbie]

thank you. I wanted to get them as close to even as possible.

[@nickyb5827]

I was so scared. Thank you!! It was an absolute success!

[@RaksSharki007]

What an ingenious idea! It's so hard to figure how to cut the back, but you did it! Thanks for a great video!!!!!

[@JungleBarbie]

You are welcome.I want to make the process as easy as possible for my viewers. Not everyone if savvy.

[@Bklyngrl02]

Love it! Gonna give it a shot! I've never done it before. Kind of scary. But I will try it. Thanks for sharing.

[@JungleBarbie]

thank you. Let me know how it worked for your hair and if you modified it. My pleasure. I am always happy to share what I know

[@lisac7191]

Love ur locks ur so beautiful.

[@IAmEmber]

When I cut my locs straight across like that the ends get puffy (yes my locs are mature - more than 20 yrs). I was told to cut them at angle and that works for me.

[@sheilaandfrank]

Great job 👏🏾

[@Tattiana45]

Looks nice but that’s a Bob that’s slightly longer at the back. Not layers at all

[@mazznaturals]

Brilliant! 😁👏🏾👏🏾 I liked how you used the yarn good idea Looks fuller too! I will be cutting mine soon 💇🏾 the ends keep breaking fed up with repairing them. 🙅🏾

[@JungleBarbie]

thank you. Yeah it is fuller. That's what was happening to me.

[@mazznaturals]

Really? 🤔 looks like I will have no choice then but to give it a trim. I really loved how it looked on you. Even last night a end fell off 🤷🏾‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️. I gave my hair a hot oil treatment but I think I will definitely cut it I have no choice. 💇🏾💇🏾💇🏾😉

[@JungleBarbie]

Mine was breaking so bad and I could not stand the unevenness of my hair plus it was very heavy. Do what is best for the health of your hair.

[@mazznaturals]

Jungle Barbie that's it I'm definitely going to cut it! Thanks so much for the advice I'm glad I'm not the only one this is happening to I don't know if I'm confident to film me cutting 💇🏾it though in case I mess it up! Lol I will see. 🙈😀 😘

[@JungleBarbie]

It is a pleasure. I like to share my experiences because I like people to know the things they go through with their hair is normal. No pressure to film it just make sure it is what you want and you like it.

[@josannefrancis6059]

Love the vid sis. How did it look in a ponytail with that cut? Really close to doing mine the same way

[@JungleBarbie]

thank you. It looked great. I also was able to get a bun

[@anoelcollection7215]

You gave yourself a layered cut but your layers are reversed. If you wanted a conventional layer cut you would have had to hold your hair up at a vertical angle and snipped the ends off. This way, each layer of dreads would fall a step higher as you go up the scalp from the nape to your crown. This is done section by section starting from your nape as a marker. By holding your hair down to cut it, your gave yourself a blunt cut with results in your nape dreads being shorter in length than your crown dreads. All this being said, you still gave yourself a bomb ass haircut!

[@JungleBarbie]

Thank you for the tip Dear. I actually did not want the conventional layer cut because it would be hard to put my hair up and style without using too many pins

[@akaiuhl7582]

ANoelCollection k

[@carrietoo]

Agreed. I trimmed my hair in layers as a loose natural and then got Sisterlocks. I may never be able to get a 'proper' ponytail as the bottom layer doesn't reach. But I do love my locs in layers.

[@blackgold2521]

I was super concerned b/c any hairdresser/loctician says don't do this at home. However, I'm so not going to lie, yours came out looking even and amazing.

[@JungleBarbie]

They will say that because they think you cannot do a good job. I do it for myself because I am hard to please.

[@Renee8210]

Thank you! I used this method to cut my loc in layers as well.

[@JungleBarbie]

you are welcome

[@Westcoastknitting_podcast]

Just gave this a try. Now I have a cute bob. Head feels so much lighter. Thank you!!

[@RaizenTheLightning]

Thanks for the video. It gave me confidence to trim my locks of 6 years. I was starting to look like black Tarzan with glasses 😆.

[@newhites29]

It's genius but when it comes to cutting my own hair, I'm not taking any chances. Lol. I cut myself an uneven bang when I was in high school. Learnt my lesson.

[@praiseHimrightnow]

Love it! What a great idea to use the yarn too.

[@JungleBarbie]

thank you

[@vanessashaw6912]

I like it. Simple...clean...great results

[@bitsofkenya]

Alright I did it🥰 thank you

[@Dae_Royale]

Absolutely amazing it came out beautifully

[@JungleBarbie]

thank you

[@daniellelove1373]

Love the layered look. give your hair so much body

[@JungleBarbie]

thank you. I know and I am loving it.

[@SvnnyMoney]

So, i just trimmed my dreads. Thanks for motivating me. Also, do you have to roll your ends to lock again or did you let the ends do it itself? I had some thick dreads, so when i trimmed themz the big ones that got cut look flat at the end

[@JungleBarbie]

you are welcome. Yes I palm roll my locs all the way to the end. Mine looked that way at first but by washing and grooming they developed ends. Your hair will get back the ends

[@leysxo5991]

Stunning!

[@JungleBarbie]

thank you

[@nykedria252]

Love it! just in time for the summer

[@JungleBarbie]

thank you. I am loving it

[@MelloneeKecia]

Your locs look great and I love the cut looks nice on you

[@ibyl]

Thanks for sharing! Love the layers!

[@faith1609UK]

Hello, thanks so much for the video! I was looking for a French tutorial, but nothing there 😥. How do you do for the back? Did you start from the nape of your neck?

[@JungleBarbie]

No I just put my hair in 2 ponytails and cut it

[@playanddiscoverwitj5253]

Beautiful thats the length I want!!

[@marywilson6354]

Before I want h this I had already cut mine one at a time

[@JungleBarbie]

I cut mine all the time. I do it when it gets too long and heavy

[@Jean-kl6go]

I like it! Great job!

[@JungleBarbie]

thank you

[@mothertameka]

Thanks for the video! I’m planning to cut mine as well. What do you do about the lint that shows at the bottom where you cut it? I was thinking about doing an acv rinse. I hate seeing all of that...

[@JungleBarbie]

you are welcome. I tie my hair every time I lay on it. I use a soft brush to brush my locs. I detox my locs as well.

[@tinyyogis6260]

MAJOR reason I’m cutting mine! I didn’t have that in my first set, but I was meticulous with those.

[@LocCrush]

Love it!
