Evil Hair Day!

purplerabbitSo things are getting desperate on the hair front.
What is she talking about?, you ask. Hair is an issue for me.
Back story here: I was bald until I was two. When it did grow in, it was blond curls. Which made people really silly around me. Seriously. I did so not like being patted on the head. I had my hair short until I grew up. Then I grew it out in back in the 80s. Big big head of massive curls. In 1990, I chopped it all off except a set of long braided tails in back. Wore it that way until a couple years ago. Then shaved all my hair off. Wore a buzz cut for over a year. Then, after the last buzz cut in July 2004, I decided to grow my hair out again.
Problem? I have absolutely no *^$* idea what to do with it. It is now a mass of thick long brown hair that is always in my face. It isn't long enough to pull back easily and I am at a loss of what to have it styled like. I like having my hair long in back, but I also really feel more comfortable looking butch. Not to mention not having it in my face all the time.
A couple weeks ago I had it done into cornrows. Looked fantastic on me. Problem is that after a week, my scalp hurt and itched to much to keep them. So I am back to the mess again.
HELP! If I don't figure something out soon, I may resort to cutting it all off again. Sigh.

Talk to
Think about getting a layered cut. Shorter on top, longer in back... but without the 'mullet' look. I've seen it work, and work well.
Broader braids. Sometimes one or two long braids off the front of the face really help with the evil hair days.
If I have more ideas, I'll let you know. But those 3 seem like a good start...
