Should I get layers cut into my hair?

-Hello,

Basicly, all my life I've had trouble with my hair until recently. 2 years ago I got it permanently straightened and instead of it straightening my hair, it just relaxed my extremely curly hair into soft curls. I also got all the layers out of my hair and had my hair cut to one length. At the time, I hated my hair and how short it was but then realised it was great decision because my layers were horrible.

Now, I love my hair, its so thick and curly, but! Because of it's thickness and because it's all one length, I cant curl my hair how I want it to be curled.

I want my hair to grow, so I leave it to naturally dry and I barely use heat on it, and if i do I use protection.

The curls I want are big, round sexy curls, but If I do that they stay for only a couple of minutes and then they go because my hair is so heavy, also, the curls don't look how I want them too because of my lack of layers. My hairdresser says that if i get layers cut then the curls will be how I want them to be (Like Kim Kardashian!) So, my question is!



Should I-

Put up with it and wait until my hair eventually gets longer to get layers in.

Get layers now



Also, If I do get layers, I only really want one like Kim has, so what would I tell my hairdresser?



Thanks! And sorry for the long question!!
