my hairs longer but if i want similar like crimpy curls i use this thing which is a triple barrelled curling iron (i think its called). hang on i shall find a picture! It pretty much looks like wavy/curls but not crimped. its really good and i use it for surfer hair. but itd probs work for your style and takes like 5 minutes in the morning.
