I have long dark brown/black hair it is thick and wavy and goes to mid back and when I straighten it it goes right above my butt. My hair has always been super long but I want to change it so I want to do sometime of cut for it.

Your hair sounds really pretty. I'm actually going to do the same thing as you, I'm just waiting another month for my bangs to grow out a bit more to fit my new style. I went to 'thehairstyler.com'. They have 'style search' where you enter your age, face shape, etc and you receive some style suggestions. They also have virtual hairstyles so you can see what different styles look like on your photo. If you do get your style short enough, get your stylist to cut off 10-12 inches in a ponytail so you can donate your hair to 'Locks of Love'. They will make a wig for a cancer patient out of your lovely hair.

I reccomend long hair... ANd straight.. because, it will make you look thinner... anyways, here are tips for making your hair straight...
1. Conditioner for oily hair
I have naturally oily, straight hair and I used a shampoo with conditioner and then applied a leave-in conditoner to prevent static. It worked! I used mousse and a bit of hair spray and was static-free almost all day.
2. static....
i get static hair all the time...for short releif of it, use a dryer sheet. i dont know what it is that helps but it does! don't use it for very long though.
3. Moisturizer for hair Rebecca Featherston
Several years ago I was introduced to SEBASTION Potion #9. This is a leave in hair moisturizer, not a conditioner. It's used in place of, after you shampoo. Use it regularly throughout the winter months and you will notice a difference!
4. Winter hair rejuvination Rebecca
Get your hairstylist to color your hair with REDKIN SHADES...this is a conditioning, non-peroxide color wash, you can brighten your hair color by using the shades and mixing with clear to tone down to an acceptable level for your taste. This is a great treatment for the wintertime, it brightens your hair, and deep conditions it at the same time. You'll be hooked after one treatment!
5. Fly Away Hair
If you are having trouble with fly away hair try this. Rinse hair, after shampooing, every now and then with a good liquid clothes conditioner. It greatly cuts down the static in your hair.
6. Surefire Success
Keep your hat on till spring, maybe early summer.
7. To Fight Static...
I have super long (3 1/2 ft. from crown to tips), super thin, super straight hair and static in the winter is a nightmare for me. I have learned 3 good ways of combating it however. #1 Keep a trial size bottle of a leave in spray conditioner with you at all times (you can buy these in drug stores for pennies). #2 Run a dryer sheet over your hair. #3 Spray something like Static Guard over your hair (this may stink but it's effective).
8. Smooth Hair
My stylist told me that when you rinse out your conditioner, you should use colder water. When you look at a piece of hair under a microscope, it looks like the shingles of a roof. When you use colder water to rinse out your conditioner, it closes those "shingles" and makes your hair smoother.
9. Better hair
Before showering, I comb my hair one last time. This helps to distribute the natural oils in your hair. When in the shower, I usually comb my conditioner into my hair paying special attention to the tips because this is where your hair has less moisture. When I'm done I usually blast cold water onto my hair. This helps with keeping the hair moisturized since it closes the hair shaft and it makes your hair extremely shiny.

I would either try a shoulder-length bob since your face is heart-shaped or maybe cutting it so that it goes right beneath your shoulders (when straight) and having longer layers all around your head.

cut off ten inches and send it to Locks of love so that your hair can be used for people who lost their hair in cancer. then have it layered with a little shorter near the front. It will look really cute!

I do not understand why you want to get rid of your crowning glory. If you do, you will be just like everyone else.
