Welcome Lori!  Sometimes I envy naturally curly hair, it looks so cool and I can't imitate it!  (Curlers just curl the ends, perms just go frizzy and fall out etc.).  What do you want your hair to do that's different from what its doing now?

Well, since yours is long, there are tons of styles you can do with it, updos, half-updos, etc. 
If you're interested in learning to braid (if you don't know how already) here is a link with some instructions:

If you're not interested in those styles, here is another page, some of these updos don't involve braiding:

If you wanted to head toward dye and cuts, those are also an option.  If you went for a cut, that would definitely rule out most of the styles on those pages, as shorter hair or layers wouldn't stay in. 

I think if you got layers your hair would appear much curlier (I think it would look nice, but it will be poofier - depends if you like that or not).  A know a few curly haired people who get layering just at the ends (like the last 5 inches or so) to give it a taper and make the ends spiral, this always looks really good.

Thank-you Jammer!
