Let's Talk Hair

Okay so I don't know about you guys but I love short hair for spring and summer. It is so hot and humid in Texas to deal with long hair but my big problem is that I love having long curly hair in the fall and winter. Sound familiar?
I wish there was a way to have both. (My hair color is natural and hair extensions are not an option since the color is basically unmatchable)
I've spent the last few years growing out my hair but I still like to dream about this gorgeous cut on Carrie Underwood. :)
