haha, reminds me of when i was a kid and i don't remember how this came about, but i had a really short haircut too. Buzzed sides and basically a short bowl cut on top, i think my mom called it a shepherd's cut or something
when i was a kid i hated it too. my hair is only wavy and not super curly but it was always long so it tangled so easily. it still does so i understand the wanting it short.
