Hair trouble.. Can you help?

Hey there.. My name is Jacey I am 15. My hair style is getting really old I'm looking for something different.. But my hair is soo difficult to do anything to it. My hair is a combination of curly/frizzy/extremely thick. If I leave it curly it frizzes if I don't put tons of gel and hairspray In it and it takes like 2 hours to straighten it. My friends say I should get "swoopy" bangs.. But I'm across if I do that my hair will fro. Helllppp.
