Cutting Natural Hair in a Style

When I did my BC I hadn't done much research but now, almost 2 yrs later, I am od'ing on info. When I look @ some of the tutorials on youtube I notice that some of the ladies have the flyyest emerging bob type cuts as their hair grows. It makes twists, twist outs, and all their styles look good. I also went to Miss Jessie.com and looked at their angle/balance shaping method. I am thinking of doing a not so BC to achieve more of a shape with my natural hair. Right now when I do a wash and go, it looks weird to me because my hair is much longer in the back than it is on the sides.
Any suggestions on how to achieve a more shaped looked without losing alot of lenghth?

That's a great question, I would love to know the answer to that too.

You'll have to find someone to cut your hair. I know in the B'n'B thread this a lot of talk about the DevaCare cutting system. Also, I checked out some stylist on the Naturally Curly website. Some of the stylist in LA have had really good reviews...so you may want to go that route.
