Curly Hair Looks

I'm not a big fan of short hair (I like it in other people not on me)., but I really like this style. I'm looking for a nice short hair style to let my hair grow. Again, I'm afraid of how it will look on me. I have tons of hair and I don't want it to get out of control. I'll be looking for more options until I find one that I feel comfortable with.

This is my dream length. It will take me a while to get my hair this long, but hey a girl can dream, right?

I love the "messy" bun style. It looks great for a night out or a party and it doesn't take to much effort.
