I did it and I love it.. After it was cut off, I was slinging my afro like erica badu at the salon. I have the after pics now, but the before wont get put on later...my friend forgot her peice to her camera for upload at home. I love my hair. I almost got in an accident playing in it after the BC. I already bought a pick and other stuff for maintenance and I'm sooooooo glad I can put it in a ponytail. I transitioned for 13 months, I wanted to try for 24 but oh well. I'm loving the results.
Here is the after pic:
