Bad hair

I really don't know what to do with my hair anymore!

I have very thin hair, good for nothing. When it grows it gets a curl here and there (which also doesn't look well). When I was a twenty-something, I had a sort of Afro coupe. Lots of curls by permanent wave. That looked well, but hey, can you see a (nearly) 60-year-old having such a hairdo?

I've tried letting my hair grow, no effect. Now I have it cut very short. Also not good enough.

What the alternative? Shaving my head and buying a wig? Problem is my head is pretty small (child-size) so I won't find anything that fits, until it's custom-made and I don't have the kind of money for it.

If someone who read this has any suggestions, please don't hesitate to share!
