I also have very thick hair which is wavy/frizzy without attention. This style looks like a lot of work to me! Periodically, I have my hair cut short-ish (above the shoulders) and then I remember that I should always keep it long enough to tie back on those days I don't have time to straighten it! I also find that when it is shorter, if I don't straighten it I end up looking like a mushroom! Do you have plenty of time to manage this style? (I agree with the PP, you have lovely skin - it was the first thing I noticed when I look at your pic!)
