I think the same, try longer layers of different lenghs then you can flick in, out, curl whenever you want a different look. Sometimes a good haircut is all we need.
I remember last May, I was going through a really naff time with my school placement, I kept failing this stupid literacy test and somethiing else I forget, but once I had my hair cut ( a good 7 inches) I passed my literacy test and my placement was fine! I honestly think it was the weight of my hair holding me back! hehehe :D
