Well you dont want ringlets, maybe your hair is wavy and not really curly. I would go into a trendy local hairdresser (they don't usually bite) just for a consultation. They will give you good advice, and if you don't get a good feel about that hairdresser, try until you find one you really feel happy with. Some are really friendly, even offering coffee when you just have advice, others can be a bit off putting. And take a look through some hairdressing magazines at the newsagents, you might get some ideas like that. You might even be able to google 'curly hair styles' on the internet. Sorry I haven't tried that for you. Good luck and don't make any quick decisions. My hair is a shoulder bob and I sometimes dream I have had it all cut off (it gets on my nerves sometimes as well Molly) and then I wake up and feel my hair and thank goodness I haven't had it all cut off !
