Hiya!

I am a girl with thick curly hair- already quite short and difficult to control. Just wondering how short would I need to cut it to quash the curl?

Hi my name is Lorna too. God this is cool I only know one other Lorna who is my best friend and what a coincidence my hair is really thick and curly and about 5 months ago I have it cut short into a bob. The reason why I cut mine short is that the curls were starting to disappear and I love my curls. Well when I had it cut short my hair just went wavy. I had mine cut to chin length so maybe that would work for you?

Mine is about ear length at the moment, and uncontrolable! Thinking about pixing it, but a bit scared! Cool that you're a Lorna as well!!!

Lorna, actually shortness is what's causing that uncontrollable curl in the first place. You'd actually need to grow it longer or cut off any real "Length".

A lot of people's hair just gets curlier if it's shorter, but some people, if the cut it short enough, it'll be straighter.  I guess it depends on whether your hair is curly like all the way, or if it's fairly straight up to a point before going curly.  So I guess, depending on your hair type, you could end up with a Winona Ryder-type pixie, or something like a tiny afro, if you go that short.
