how do i get myself into these things?

Hello patient listener. Welcome to my bad hair day! hehe. Right now i've got about 5 inch hair that has a very slight curl under at the ends(kinda sticks out funny now). I finally decided to grow it long a few months ago. After reading some posts, i think i may be going about things the wrong way. Glad i found you guys! you wouldnt believe how many baldness pages i had to sort through to get here, ikk. anyway, tell me what to fix!

1) I shampoo and condition about once a week, i thought maybe the natural oil was good for my hair. every time i condition, it gets feeling really silky and hangs straight down in my face. with natural oil, i can push it out of the way and it stays better :)

2) I havent combed it since x-mas (except for fingers), but it isnt tangled- should i be combing? would it help the slight curl that has started?

3) Right now i wear it as it hangs in public(big university campus, pass a few thousand people a day- boy does that test my loyalty to my moptop hair sometimes...)- it hangs past my eyes, and i dont wear a cap. is there any way to style? i hate hats.

4) the only hairstyle that seems to work for keeping it out of my face is rubber band around the hair going straight up from my head so i look like a dr seus character(i only wear this at home!). is there an alternative? i would use gel but isnt it sort of defying the naturalistic beauty of long hair?

thanks a heap! - trout
