I have dirty blonde hair and somewhat curly hair.
Any recommendations are welcome! (i.e. short or long hair; I'm up for almost anything short of dyeing my hair)
Hair color is not a factor when selecting a style. It would have helped to know how curly and the length of the present style and how long and how short you are considering. . If the hair is more wavy than curly, then in shorter styles it can appear straight. There are photos of styles with hair that ranges from wavy to quite curly below. A barber with a good aesthetic sense can usually design a regular layer/taper cut or one of the short pomp(pompadour) styles-crew cut, ivy league(long crew cut), flat top crew cut- to fully suit most young guy's face and neck shape, frontal hairline and facial features. Start with a regular layer/taper cut and then if you want a shorter style, next haircut, go for an ivy league. Shorter still, progressively shorter crew cuts.

A minute dab of control wax will keep the hair looking well groomed at crew cut and ivy league length. I prefer krew comb, jar variety. A butch comb also helps- the small, flat, plastic, oval, pocket brushes that one finger fits through and barbers sell for about a dollar.
