I suggest using cute headbands and such to try different styles. Recently, I've been doing low, side ponytails, which are really easy and cute. I have about the same type of hair as you, maybe a bit more curly.

Same deal! by: Anonymous
Ugh. I'm in the same position. I have the same hair as you do and I'm so sick of not being able to have bangs or anything. I think I'm going to get bangs and then be really obsessed with straightening my bangs despite having the rest of my hair curly.
