I decided to follow suit after Sly4me and post my pic (see "about me"). Not really new but, it's the last pic I took before I went natural with my hair (by "natural", I mean no perming). I even had an afro before I comb-pressed it (and I always wanted an afro) .

Now if I wanted to get my afro back, I'll have to cut off all of my hair and start over (ummm....no way am I willing to do that). Since I stopped perming my hair and started comb-pressing it, my hair grew so much better. The downside of doing that however is, my hair curls up when water gets in contact with it (it curls up naturally after three days anyway). And when the straight effect is gone completely, it's harder to comb since my hair is so thick). But, I can handle it ^_^
