Alright I feel kinda embarassed

Hey I am new here, mainly because I decided that my hair is just getting out of control. I want a cool hair style, I right now have 'the mop'. I live in Conn. and there are all these Italians kids here who have blow outs and tape ups and I detest those. Im just looking for a good hair style that will complement my looks.

To describe me..(should I just take a picture instead?)

I usually wear clothes from Le Tigre or polo shirts or J Crew type shirts. Not 'emo' or anything i guess relativly well groomed..

the thing is my hair is naturally curly I think, no one in my family is like that. I use this Pantene Pro V stuff that my mom brings 1 bottle shampoo 1 bottle conditioner. After I get out of the shower, my hair is soaking wet and uncomable so I blow dry it. Right now Im growing it out becaues I hate it when it's short and people can see through my hair to my scalp, but this longer hair which I am growing has come to intense opposition from my family and some friends (but my orthodontist likes it :) )

As per what style, I definetly DON'T want to go for the emo look or long hair like that. I dont have anything against it, but is totally not me.  I kinda like the short straight hair sorta thing im not sure what im completly talking about. Kinda like the seth cohen cut..

i know he has professionals do it for him, but I am willing to go to a stylist but i cant pay more then $75 max (im getting more metro by the day but im still straight) so you guys have any tips on what to do?

I assume you would like a picture of my head for better objective analysis?

ok my last reply before someone else does, but this looks cool too, but my face is not that triangular
