Protect the hairline where it's the most fragile + it looks sharper

I grew my dreads for 15 years until they were almost 3' long. Cut them off 3 years ago, then, started them back up last year right before lock-down. IDK about having a 'fragile' hairline as I always had them starting on it and never worried about losing its shape.

I'm middle-aged.

37 and i just started locs in Jan...

haven't been to a barber in over a year, June 2020 to be exact...I don't plan on getting one either.



saw my 18 year old cousin get a shape up in the front of his locs for his prom, and I told myself I'm good on that. Looked good on him but not for me brehs


I got an intact hairline and told myself that MAYBE I'll get just a sharp line but not really on the sides/taper, to me it defeats the point of having locs



I'll leave all that to them young boys

As a bruh who’s had locs for over 15 years, if you plan on keeping your locs long term, keep the barber the fukk away from your hairline:ufdup: it looks sharp and fresh at first then that shyt starts getting pushed back further and further in the pursuit of flyness:francis:

I been having my locs for over 2 years and I haven't gotten them tapered yet. But I'm getting them tapered next week and I won't go overboard with it.
