If you think your hair is hard to control....
How about the many (often conflicting) I's inside of you each gaining control for a moment, and most of which cannot agree on any unitary aim or vision:

Lower Self: The Ten Thousand Is
The lower self is a collection of attitudes, dreams, and mechanical habits that dwell within a man. There is no't an unchangeable ‘I’ that is always the same. Rather, a man's many thoughts, emotions and sensations are his ‘many I`s’, which are traditionally numbered as ten thousand. As the ten thousand I's randomly assert themselves, each one mistakenly takes itself to be 'real I', and moreover, constantly interferes with the effort to simply Be Present. Jesus Christ said, "Thine enemies shall be they of your own household."
Buddha ignores the many I's and defeats Mara. (3rd C. BC.)

!! AND YOU COULD ALWAYS WEAR A WIG, LOL !!
I think the ten thousand Is are more likely to behave than my hair...
I really enjoyed the info about the Is! I started feeling a bit paranoid here though with all this population trying to gain control ...
Maybe if I extinguish the I who wants straight hair, my problem will be solved!
(LOL for the wig!!)
Or you can just wait patiently until curly hair is back in fashion. After all, I'll bet that dude in your last photo paid a small fortune for his wig to give him the "curly hair" look!
You gave me some courage there thanks!! hahah :))
