Both of those cuts are CUTE! If you're struggling with wavy/curly hair, though, the BEST thing to do is get a high quality product designed for curly hair. I swear by
Deva Curl products. I don't know where you could find them in Canada but I searched amazon.ca for them and they're on there. They're spendy but it's SO worth it to look good! My hair is naturally curly (has gotten curlier and curlier as I've gotten older/had my hysterectomy) and is curlier when it's short, but the Deva Curl products make my hair look SO MUCH better than when I don't use it!
