My advice: Don't drink before typing your question.
Real curly hair is a drag. My suggestion is to buy quality hair straightener which you can at any supermarket, or hair salon. Try the salon first as you may find a higher quality product. Also, blow drying the right way (any decent stylist will show you how) should help alleviate your problem -- especially if you use it in conjunction with a good hair straightener.
Another oprion may be a perm, or something like that. Ask the sytlist what is best for your situation. And, don't go to a barber as he will not know what to do.
Will hair perms do anything? Yes, a perm will ruin your hair. The chemicals are very harsh and will make your hair weak and brittle, and contribute to split ends and breakage; also dullness. Better to learn to deal with your curly hair. Condition it a lot, don't use harsh shampoos or shampoo too often, don't brush it (causes frizz and breakage). I know it's controversial on this site, but I also think going to a salon for a professional trim to keep a good shape while growing out is a good idea.
How curly is your hair? my hair is wavy, and i hated it because it was hard to comb short.
when it comes to long hair, (i think) nature is the key.
we all have different hair and denying its nature would be a crime.
i know people with straight hair who wish it was curly, and i know people with lovely curls who hate it.
learn to love your own natural beauty and you'll be happy with your appearance. it's hard to learn, but once you do, you'll like your hair.
besides, curly hair is awesome.
What's wrong with curly hair? When it's down to your shoulders it'll look fuckin' brill, stick with it.
When it gets longer the weight should pull the curls out a bit. Or you might end up looking like Brian May [1], you gotta give respect to a bloke who has had the same hairstyle for 40 years though.
[1] IMO too curly, I fear my hair turning out that way.

People with straight hair all dream about getting curly hair. You have it, keep it !
