I Hate My Hair

I'm trying to grow out my hair. As I'm sure you knew, I've had a short pixie cut for while now, and I'm trying to grow my hair longer again. So, in between short and long, my hair has to look stupid. I talked to my hairdresser about it, and she said I'll have to deal with my hair looking stupid for awhile, until it grows. I was thinking I'd get her to layer it a bit, but she said that would really set me back months, so I have to suck it up and live with it. I just go in to trim the back every once in awhile. In the meantime, I'm trying to come up with soem creative ways to wear my hair so it doesn't look so dumb. Hairbands are working somewhat (what great timing for them to be in style!), but I'm having a hard time keeping them from sliding off my damn head. I think it's because I wear glasses; because of that, I can't have the headband directly behind my ear, I've gotta push it back a little, and it wants to slide off. I mean the headbands that are a circle of fabric. The plastic ones work ok, but so far I've only bought one of those I like.
