What does Islam say about managing curly hair like mine?

Salaam everyone, I'm a guy with really tight curls, and my folks keep telling me that according to Islam, my hair can't be long-it's gotta stay around an inch or so. They say the basic rule is that any haircut should be combable, but curly hair isn't exactly easy to comb, you know? So now I'm stuck wondering, is that actually an Islamic requirement? Does every hairstyle need to be something you can comb through easily?

Lol your folks are tripping. I’m Somali and we rock big afros sometimes. Islam says keep it clean, that’s it. Don’t stress, just make sure it doesn’t look messy.

Bro, your parents are misinformed. I have tight curls too and I keep them long. Islamically, you just need to be clean and presentable. The Prophet (PBUH) had hair that reached his shoulders sometimes.
