@Skyliting I didn't do the big chop but my son did. He doesn't seem to have regretted it and he goes back and forth on how long he lets his hair grow now. Hair is just one expression of your identity. It does not define who you are and while locs can be spiritual antennae, if they become burdensome to you that is not helpful. I usually cut a foot off every couple of years to keep mine from becoming burdensome. Whatever decision you make, go forward without regret. You can always regrow
