My hair is trimmed short at the sides but is a bit longer on the top and back, I also have a fringe with a weird sort of flick in it.
I have it trimmed at the sides because if I don't it curls outward and I look like a girl, but other than that my hair will do exactly as it pleases and no amount of jiggery pokery will stop it. Even when straightened my hair just goes back to its chosen shape after about half an hour. People told me that no-one else could pull the fringe off, so I decided to keep it, hurrah for me.
