Hair question,really need help here.=/?

My hair used to be really long when I was younger,I could sit on it.It was down to my butt.And straight,too.Then,I got it cut to right above my shoulders and it started getting wavy,which I don't mind that much.I donated it,anyway =)Now it's been 2 years or so and my hair has been okay up until now,thick,slightly wavy at the bottom but not very much,with straight across bangs.It was also a few inches below my shoulders.

Recently I went to get my hair cut,and I decided to get layers since everybody says that's good for thick hair.

It was a HUGE mistake.I got a whole bunch of them at different places-cheek,just above shoulder,etc. they curled out in all different directions and its so annoying,and now curly instead of my small waves!I hate curls!The top of my hair puffs out and the layers make it look a lot shorter (also don't like short hair) and I can't get all the layers back into a ponytail so it looks stupid.What should I do/how long will it take to grow out?

Try a hair straightener to smooth out those waves %26amp; curls. And it will probabley take up to a yr. Since hair doesn't grow that much

OMG same thing happen to me

what I do is since my layers arent that far apart and all the same length pretty much, I get it trimmed every month, and evenutaly I will trim it back to how it was before, but untill that glourious day, I use a streightener.
