that woman is gorgeous!!!!! I've never had locks before but i did cut my hair low before. Not low like that but really low and people was asking me plenty questions! 'y u cut your hair'? 'are you a lesbian now?' all kinda thing. At first i was afraid because your face is out there, you can't hide behind your hair anymore...and thats what i loved about my short cut, it was then i realized my beauty, my cheek bones, nose, chin everything i wasn't seeing before because i associated hair with beauty. As much as i love to see black women with locks, i love to see a black woman with a short cut like that. Its almost majestic to me. If i remember your pics correctly, i think a short cut like that will suit your face great. Whatever your decision is, as long as its what your heart truly desires and not because of 'issues in your life'(plenty women does chop off their hair when certain 'shituations' arise) you should be happy.
