I love long hair too, but have always done what you do ... end up with it in a ponytail or messy bun on my head! I honestly like your hair just below the chin but with more layers. I think the pieces around your face need to be more layered and not fall straight to your chin or below. I loved the layers you had in the side view pic with the light blue shirt on. That was great, but I feel that you just needed more layering around the face!
