Should I press n curl my hair for school or leave it natural?

Right now I have individual braids. I have black natural hair. My hair looks like this http://blackgirllonghair.com/wp-content/uploads/20... I like my hair natural, but its quite a lot of work to do it and I would have to look styles that I don't have to do every night. For example, for a month I wore it natural as a twist out. But I had to twist it every night and then, it just became too curly for my taste so I just decided to get braids because I was going on vacation. I like my hair pressed also because, I like how when I get bangs it covers some of my face so I'm just not all out there. I also like being able to flip and stuff. My hair is very healthy and I don't want to ruin it by going natural and forgetting to moisturize it and things of that sort. I don't know what I'll do. Plus, I'm going to high school and I want to look cute ^-^ please help me.
