/u/s_med has really good suggestions for your hair. I would also suggest to find a nicer hair dresser; by that I mean don't go to SuperCuts or whatever the cheap places name's are. Have them cut short on the sides, and keep the top a little longer than the sides. After all that, use hair gel. Personally, I use this one. Basically, take care of your hair. You will look x100 better if you got a haircut and followed all of this advice.
Apart from that, you're good looking dude. I wish you the best, and just know that internet strangers care about you!

I mean, hard wax could work - Paul Mitchell Dry Wax is the toughest hold I've ever used (a step up from Murray's when I was using both) but it was too much when my hair got thick (I have to cut it every three weeks to thin it out).
I could put that stuff in on Friday and wear it through the weekend, even if I lightly washed it.
I've turned my back on oil based product, though. Now I'm a big fan of Layrite Pomade - here is their Super Hold product, I suggest giving it a try.
Thick, Wavy-ish (not so curly) Hair Care Guide I kinda made. I'm no expert so don't take this as gospel.
Maintaining your (usually dry hair):
Use Shea Moisture Leave In conditioner. This is the one I use. You can pick the "curly" one if you want to emphasis your curls.
I found it on another thread and the guy said he washes his hair at night, pats it with a towel to dry and then put it in.
Comb your hair (i usually comb it back) so it gets all around. Don't use a comb that's too thin you'll take the product out.
Use a kinda generous amount (like 2-3 finger tips) and mix it in your hair like you would a normal conditioner. It won't stain your pillow, but I'd recommend a pillow case.
Wash it out in the morning.
Shampoo less because our hair usually gets really dry. I personally use head and shoulders once every 1.5 weeks.
It'll take a while to notice an actual change in texture but your hair should feel smoother and easier to control.
(This won't get rid of the curly, wavy texture. It's only part 1.)
Note: Using another Coconut Oil product like this is also recommended by some. To spray some on your hair after a shower and apply it like a conditioner (massage it around your hair) and you won't need to comb it in. It's recommended to leave it in for 30 minutes wash it off and then style your hair.
This is something I'm starting to test but I can't say it works or doesn't.
Styling Product:
Most pomaded don't usually work on this type of hair because our hair usually "counters" the pomade.
Things that I've found that work are Suavecito Firm Hold and Layrite Superhold
I prefer Layrite's because it's less sticky and doesn't have as strong of an odor.
Strong gels work too, but I think gel looks worse and if you live in a hot area it'll sweat off within 30 minutes and just be uncomfortable on your forehead.
Before You Style:
This is typically after a shower. You're going to want to nearly dry your hair lightly by patting your hair with a towel. Then blow dry your hair in the way you want. If you don't have a blow drier I'd invest in one but just towel dry and then put product in.
Notes:
Often people with our kind of hair want to style something like a pompadour or something with straighter hair. The main issues are that our hair is actually too short and we'll need to use something special to straighten it.
Too short
To get certain hair styles you need a certain length. Guys with our type of hair usually keep it short because it's almost like a blow fish where our hair is short (which you can usually see after a shower) but then it increases its volume and puffs/curls up.
So before being disappointed or confused as to why you can't get a certain style, it might be because your hair actually isn't as long as it looks.
Straightening
To straighten our type of hair (for a long period of time, since product usually unwinds) you'll need a flat iron, something like keratin straightening treatment or something like this
That's pretty much everything I know. It's probably not all correct so edit whatever and just build on the education of this hair type.
