i know u say u want to keep it long, but my hair is just like yours (but darker) & it was to my waist just before i cut it & donated it to "locks of love" (check their website locksoflove.org).  i was looking for a change & it made me feel really good to donate to such a worthy cause.  i got my hair cut to my chin & then i was at a boutique and this girl asked me to be her hair model so i agreed & got a "graduated bob" (shorter in the back, longer in the front).  i love it, it's so cute & looks good "messy" (i.e. really wavy).  i got lots of compliments on it & my shower time was cut in half (also has to do w/ now i can use a shampoo + conditioner that would have dried out my hair before).  it's growing out now so i need to decide if i'm gonna go back to my traditional length (which makes me look a lot younger too... not good at 23) or if i should get my bob redone.  another great thing tho is that i saw a friend last night i hadn't seen in a while & he thought my hair had just been cut since it grows out really well & keeps it's shape.  sorry this ended up so long, but i would really consider this option if i were u... i never would have gone so short but someone suggested LOL to me & after i saw the website i really wanted to help.  good luck!
