Help: my hair is very fine and wavy, which leaves it all poofy after I shower. What can I do to make it straighter? It's not long anymore, because after it grows a certain length it just ends up curling up at the back and sides. Should I just keep it short or let it out but straighten it? When I was a kid I used to have - according to everybody who knew me - the most beautiful long strawberry blond Irish hair, but now that I'm 21 it just seems to unmanageable.
