Ah Beth I have had those kind of haircuts. That is so disappointing when you go for a new look and go home crying. I would suggest washing your hair alot! Maybe even twice a day just to help relax the curl. Use a diffuser or let it air dry and make sure you use some kind of curl management product like Lorel's pumping curls or even Friz-ease serum so the curls don't get to frizzy looking. I bet your hair isn't as bad as you think. It will take a few days but work with it and see what you can do. I would love to see a pic??? But that might be a long shot huh since you are hating the haircut. Hang in there sweetie. Maybe even look for a new clip or headband to spruce it up. *hugs*
