Short Hair cuts for thick hair?

I'm thinking about getting my hair cut shorter, maybe more of a medium length. I have always kept my hair very long because I thought that it was better for women with my type of hair.



The problem is that now I have two young boys, and I would like something that is easier to manage that I won't have to pull into a ponytail everyday.



Are there any shorter hair cuts/styles that are alright for women with wavy, thick, frizz-prone hair? Be honest, is this even possible without having to spend over an hour straightening it everyday?Short Hair cuts for thick hair?
I'm in the same situation. I think you should get it cut short, but ask the sylist to thin it out a bit. If you get a hard curl gel (I like Garnier Fructis), you can still wear it curly but keep it short.
