I have afro-carribbean hair, which just means it's difficult and very finnicky about how you take care of it, and my mother warned me that once I relaxed my hair I would have to wear a scarf to keep my hair from breaking/drying out/looking like a hot Bon Qui Qui mess. I was only 15 then so I didn't get the message and slept with my hair all willy nilly because I loved waking up with bedhead instead of a weird misshapen 'fro.
Four years later and I now know that my mom has every right to say 'I told you so'. The back of my head, towards the nape of neck, is severly shorter than the front and crown. I'll let you take a look for yourself. [Please excuse the Im-feeling-lazy-today pigbuns and lack of make-up/facial expression.]

There's nothing scarier than taking a webcam to the back of your head.
Anyways, so I was looking at all you lovely ladies and your undercuts and figured that that might be a possible solution to making the back of my head not look so ridiculous. The little tuft of hair is usually brushed up as much as possible, I just left it out for demonstrative purposes. I would consider shaving that too but I don't want to go too high for my first time and I think it's long enough to put a few dreads onto it.
I'm planning on installing some dreads soon, just to let my hair rest for a while, perming my roots between sets.
With all that said...what'dya think? Should I?
