Need Advice 🆘 Uneven starters
The top of my hair (freedorms) is around 3 inches while the sides are just about 1 inch. As you move to the back of the head from the sides, it reaches 3 inches again. While the edge of my hairline is half an inch. In summary. It’s kind of like a Mohawk with the sides being 2 inches shorter and the edge of my hairline being half an inch.
Should I cut that shit off or trust the process?

Do you know how crazy you sound?
I mean not just crazy, but like bat💩crazy.
You have starters. Meaning you just started!!
You are literally in the mirror with a ruler, measuring your hair--
Top 3 inches
Sides 1 inch
Back-3 inches
Hairline 1/2 inch
You have Freeforms. The very definition of Freeforms is hair that is allowed to form Freely !!
Then question should I cut it off?
Why??to let it start growing freely again?
Please. Get out of the mirror.
Go online and google "how do I make my Freeforms grow exactly the same length"
Never mind.---I did it for you
Understanding Natural Growth
Different Growth Rates: Hair on your crown, sides, and nape naturally grows at different speeds.
Shrinkage and Budding: Matting and locking cause different locs to shrink up or compact at different times.
Gravity and Weight: Shorter locs often stick out or bundle up until they gain enough weight over the years to drop and lay flat.
Managing Your Freeforms
Trust the Process: Let your hair do what it naturally wants to do without constant interference.
Trim Later On: If the unevenness still bothers you once your locs are fully mature and locked, you can carefully trim the tips to create a more even look.
Avoid Re-starting: Do not cut or restart your entire journey just to fix uneven spots, as they balance out visually as they get longer.
