As a longtime admirer of your hair in all aspects (color, length, texture), I'll admit, the loss of so much length (and the introduction of a straightener) makes me a little sad.
Your wurls are absolutely gorgeous though, so if the length is tugging them out, how about trimming up to waist? With the curls, that should put you around BSL, maybe a bit lower than that.
ETA: This is the longest my hair has been, so no real experience that I can remember in texture changing with a cut, but I remember reintroducing layers to my hair after growing them mostly out and my waves looked so much better to me.
