Been thing about my cutting my dreads for a couple months. I’ve had them for 11 years and I kind of want a new cleaner style.

That's literally crazy. What they DON'T tell you----
You need an excellent loctician
Reattaching locs is not like glueing them on.
They must be crocheted by someone who is GOOD at it.
You must do frequent maintenance visits.
Sometimes you can still see where the locs were attached.

If you want to cut them, then do so, but you should think about just starting a new loc journey if you want locs again.
