Getting hair to stay in place

[omgkfclolz]

So i'm having a hard time getting my hair to stay in place. Some days it's awesome. Some days it isn't. I try to swoop my bangs in one direction and sometimes it parts no matter what...
Once it gets longer will it get easier?
(also if you could, recommend me some long hair length styles)
Here's the way i like it to look.

Here's the way it'll fall some days and i don't like it. Maybe it's just a pet peeve of mine

I'm parting it in the opposite direction of the way it was parted for nearly 15 or so years of my life, so maybe that's why? But i get it cut to go the way i want it, and i've been doing it for 2 years now.
That, and i straighten it in the direction i want.


Here's what it looks like the majority of the time

I honestly have no idea. I have that problem with my bangs too. Only eventually I gave up on them. I know that the way my hair dries is the way it wants to stay, so maybe experiment with combing it to one side or the other while its still wet from the shower and letting it dry that way?

My hair won't do what I want either.
So I let it do what it does.

Oh no, sorry for the slow response, no I meant I am growing them out.
