It's just hair

I have recently started to get my hair done on a more regular basis and the reactions I have been getting have made me irritated. I mean it's just hair.  White people are fawning over it, black people keep saying if they had hair like mine. I mean rather her is curly or straight it is just hair.

I wish more people would appreciate their hair in whatever state it is. Straight, curly, afro, bobbed, shaved. It is all just hair.  

My Hair Dilemma Continues

Now that it is summer I am having issues with my hair...once again. A few months ago I decided to cut my hair and I loved it!! But now I miss it :-( , I want my hair back...I think??? When my hair is long I am able to put it in a ponytail when I work out or when I don't feel like doing it. I can have it naturally curly and all of these things I can't do now. I will give you examples of pros and cons of each style and would love your opinion...

Current Style (Short & Layered):

Pros: cute, short, easy to flat iron, color, body

Cons: no ponytail, hair natural looks crazy(too short), is in my face and makes it break out

Long & Curly:

Pros: I love curls, my beautician makes them stay, looks great on my face, ponytail capabilities

Cons: hard for me to do, sometimes curls go weird directions, frizzes unless I go to shop, sometimes curls get in the way, takes forever to do myself

Naturally Long & Curly or Crinkly (best pic I could find sorry):

Pros: long, easy to do (wash & go), ponytail looks good high up or low, no heat on hair

Cons: have to wash every twice a week, tangles, have to use moose, can be frizzy at times, can be too causal at times

Long wrapped & straight:

Pros: Manageable, cute, long, just have to wrap at night, frames my face without being all in my face, simple, ponytail capabilities

Cons: can frizz, long time to flat iron, gets plain over time, can get flat and lose bounce

Okay...would love for suggestions. I really don't know what I want to do with my hair now. Up for suggestions. Which style do you like most? Is there a combination of styles you might suggest? Let me know.
