Oh God, it's a hair thread! (Update: Got the hair cut)

So, I need help. I have hair. A lot of it, and I don't know what to do with it. It desperately needs to be cut, but I have no idea what would look okay on me. I know it grows back and everything, but I'd like to not have it look terrible.
I'd *like* a short hair cut, but again, I don't know if that would work with my face shape and I should keep it long. I don't even know what kind of shape my face is (round, oval, heart...diamond?!) The last time I had a hair cut above my shoulders, I was 5.
I've always been clueless when it comes to my hair. It's naturally *very* curly, but it's so unruly that I just straighten it every day, but with long hair it's pretty time consuming.
Anyway, here's my mug. Tell me what would look not terrible, please. Sorry for the shitty pictures/lack of any effort at all.

The first thing that came to my mind was something like this:
though I don't know how well that would work with your naturally curly hair.
Something like this:
might also work, and you definitely have the facial build for it.
How curly are we talkin here?
Just my two cents...
I can't find a picture of my self with curly hair, so here's a random person with hair similar to mine.
It's usually a bit frizzier than that.
In regards to short hair, my main concern is looking like a weird boy after I chop it all off.

Like this, maybe? (getting thinner at the ends, too)
[edit] Also, for the frizz, you might want to try some anti-frizz serum. It's pretty cheap, you only need a little, and it really helps.
Something like that could be a thing, since you are willing to keep up with it.
I love this cut. I love it so damn much. I always felt like my face was too round for something like that though. I'll never know for sure unless I do it though, right?

None of these people in this thread have any idea what to do with your hair. Go to a professional (i.e. somewhere about 5 steps above the mall and look to spend around $50 + tip) and talk to them. Take them pictures of styles you like and they can tell you what will work with your hair, face, and head type. There are too many mitigating factors to have some people on an internet forum give you suggestions. This from a former receptionist at a hair salon.
And make sure you find someone who is good with curly hair. It's pretty easy to fuck up. When you call for an appointment, ask who who works there is good with that kind of hair. If you see someone on the street with a great cut, ask them where they go.'
My ONE suggestion though, go shorter. You have a long face and the long straight hair isn't doing you any favors.
Well, no, but there is nothing wrong with giving suggestions.
I never said that. In fact I gave one. But I've seen way too many people walk in with a picture from a magazine that they or their friends insist will look good on them, and against the stylists advice get it done, then wonder why it looks bad on them.
And if it sucks, well, it'll just grow back, and I'll figure something else out.

Have you been going to the same person for a while? Because I think it might be time to switch it up a little.
I have, but they fucked up my hair (and eyebrows. Waxed them clean off) way too many times. I recently asked a friend where she gets her hair cut, because her hair is always amazing, and she recommended me a place, and the hair dresser she uses. Apparently they get trained in Soho *oh fannccyyy*, so I'm pretty excited about that.

Finding that person who does your hair just right is a great feeling. Make sure to post an update when you get it done.
Haha. I've been doing this for the past hour. IT'S SO ADDICTIVE.
I feel like I'm 5.

You look a bit like me. Only thinner. And your hair is just about the same curly as mine, only I don't bother to straighten it every day.
At one point I took my hair (same length as yours is now) and got it cut off at the cheekbones. My curls tightened a bit, but not too much. Looked pretty good on me people said.
Also, side note, I just started using some new shampoo from Lush, their "Curly Wurly". and holy god the world is full of colors. I have never had my hair so easily taken care of after a shower, or my curls look quite so good. That picture you posted of the curly hair? that was how my hair looked with this shampoo. So there's that new discovery (yes I'm slightly evangelizing)

Also, if you donate the salons tend to reduce the price of whatever styling you are getting done afterwards.
Plus you know, good deeds and all.
@Effef: I printed out the above hair style you suggested, because I absolutely loved it.
New hair! (sorry about the mess in the background):
Anyway, just an update. Thanks guys, the hair cut was a success!
