4a/b Naturals: Hair Cut in a Style?

Do any of you 4a/b naturals have your hair cut into a style?

I'm thinking about transitioning (again), but I don't want to be confined to twists and knots. I ideally want to be able to wear a tapered style (shorter nape; longer in the crown) w/ that texture. I just need to know if it would be a cute reality.


ETA: What I have in mind is a cut like the lady who won the 50K wardobe on "What Not to Wear". Nick gave her an awesome cut. I'll see if I can find it.

Didn't catch that episode but I'd love to see the pic. I'm transitioning and my ends are trimmed but I don't have a cut so I'd be interested in responses too.
 
Mine is cut in layers, and shaped to fall a certain way. Miss Jessie's refers to it as an angle/balance cut.
 
I've definitely seem some natural rock a cute cute...so1913, VMerie, among others...I think that this idea should be cute as long as there aren't to many layers, b/c the 4a/4b's curl patter is so tight that it might be hard to distinguish the layers (and instead end up looking like different legenth strands.
 
I don't have a cut mainly because I'm scared to death of letting a stylist come within five feet of me with scissors, but also because no matter what my hair will never "fall". It's always going to fly off in all directions like a thick coily smoke cloud. Might as well just leave it in peace in my mind. LOL!

Your hair looks GREAT!! What products did you use for your maxiglide/bantu knot style (your latest album)? I love the end result.
