My hair is so flat!!

I have such typical long, flat, straight asian hair. I am so tired of having to work so hard at styling it and taking so long to get ready. I love Nicole Richie's haircut but I'm afraid it will look terrible on me. The back of my head is flat and it just makes it look worse when I wear my hair straight. Not to mention it annoys me by always falling in my face. What's an easy and quick way to style my hair? How do I find a stylist that is experienced with asian hair?? HELP!!

Thanks for your feedback! The only other issue is that everyone (including my boyfriend and my own mother!) loves that I have long hair. In the long run, no, they wouldn't HATE my short hair but I guess it's just my own stubborness to change. What do you think of Nicole Richie's hair style for a "short" haircut?
