    A blow dryer, a round brush and some smoothing serum can work wonders...

    It's super hard to do anything with long hair... 
    It either takes 6 hours to make it look good... or you put it up in a ball or a ponytail.

    @Sammie has long hair, and it's fabulous!
    @ImWendy does too (or did unless she cut it!)

    I haven't cut it (yet... I'm considering it).

    It looks like we have the same kind of curls. Super fine texture and curls that turn into waves. I love rocking out the curls, personally. I noticed you said you need to brush it... The only time I brush mine is right out of the shower. I use curling mousse and blow dry of upside down to make the curls curlier. Takes about 5-8 minutes and the more often I do it, the curlier it is. I can blow it out straight pretty easily too, though.

    I think the best thing to do with long hair is long layers and some face framing pieces. Maybe long bangs, too. Long layers keeps it from having that boxy preteen girl look.

    You've got great hair!! I'd do a few face-framing long layers and maybe a longer side bang. Easy maintenance, easy to style and it will look fab.
