Thick, wavy, frizzy hair help?

Your type of hair should not be short unless it's very very short. I know... I have the same type. The length of the hair helps weigh it down. Try getting your hair chemically straightened and it isn't as damaging as one might think so long as you moisturize and keep it healthy. Also, there are a number of straightening alternatives out there now. Just do some research and see what's best for you. It'll help make your hair more manageable.
