I used to braid my fringe down the side of my head, the either do a side low pony (very sleek and pretty) or a high pony tail...
Pin your fringe back and have a bun? Either tight or messy..
Braid your hair when it's wet and leave it overnight, then take it out in the morning but don't brush it!

I am on my iPhone but will be back on later and get some links to photos for you!

I had long hair for our wedding, got sick of it and the day we got back from our honeymoon I chopped it all off and got a full head of foils. That was oct 09... My hair has just grown past my shoulders.... And I mean just barely, it is growing sooooo slowly and I miss my lovely long hair!! I am jealous! Lol.
Oh and even if you do go short, it ends up in a pony anyways, just more annoying cause bits fall out!! Lol
