Curls to waves?

in Hair Type 3
My hair goes between tight, frizzy ring curls and nice, defined waves. On a good day my hair looks like Bradley Cooper from the Hangover. On a not so good day it looks like him from American Hustle. I'm a male, and prefer the Bradley Cooper Hangover style for sure.
When it gets really curly there's nothing I can do to fix it. Any product I put in it is just absorbed by my hair, nothing seems to make a difference.
Anyone have any recommendations on any products and/or techniques that can give me long wavy hair, instead of out of control curls. Would a certain kind of cut help too?
Thanks

Life is better when you accept your hair that grows from your head. What you're doing right now is normal, though. We curlies spend our lives wishing for perfect, i.e. straight, hair. So when we switch to curly, we transfer that envy to types of curls we don't have. People with waves want curls, people with curls want waves or tighter curls. Eventually, you learn to love your own hair, as it is.
