Sometimes I wear it behind my ears to show my earrings, but that is usually a nervous habit of playing with my hair.
I wear mine back when I'm working outside on farm stuff or when it is really windy, but otherwise I try to keep it down to help shadow/soften my face. Right now I'm trying out the curly girl method right now to see if I can keep my corkscrews for more than a 4-5 hours after washing.
Unfortunately all the nice looking short cuts require straight hair. I'd look like I was sticking my fingers in an electrical socket if I cut it short.
I've tried a few things out, but I don't know how to do anything elaborate with it since I was never taught and my wife never cared to learn.
