I have curly hair and side bangs?

First i'd like to let you guys know that my hair is black down to themiddle of my back and very thick and curly. It's one length except for my bangs which are side bangs (parted to the side and layered), which I straighten everyday. I will not straighten my hair because it takes up about 3 hours to straighten and burns my already dry hair. If you need a picture of my hair for reference the link is: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=4leu6wj .. anyay, my question is, do any of you guys have any ideas on how I can style my hair (not how to cut it, just different ideas on how I can wear it) without straightening mor than my bangs?? Thanks for your help!

take the front sections from each side and make two braids... one on each side. fasten then at the back with a knont of a barette... but leave the rest of your hair long in the back. Lauren does this a few times on the Hills... it looks really nice.

Your hair is pretty. :]

You dont have to straighten your entire head, just the side bangs are okay.

You can always just do that bump people do, that looks cute with side bangs.

Also, you can leave part of it up, and part of it down.
