I agree that Harry's hair grew back because he wanted to, but the _look_ of
his hair is not controlled by him - there are some occasions when he wants to
cover his scar with his hair and is not complete successfully, as I
remember.
Allen, Rebecca again:

It a bit funny that it seems that the look of someone's hair cannot be
altered so easily as someones teeth. (BTW, hair is thought to contain somehow some
magic, like cutting of would take the powers of a person - don't know if
this has something to with that.)
When Hagrid tried to alter his hair it looked not very well, so it seems
that you have to make a big effort if you want to recieve a satisfying result as
Hermione.

This is the right moment for me to post a thought that came to me a long
time ago and that I don't take really serious myself:
If you would deadly wish to alter the look of your hair but would not want
to spend several hours every day to do so, perhaps the only solution could be
to grease it...
*g* can anybody else see Snape _wash his hair every night_ before he goes to
bed to get rid of the grease, and then his hair while drying becomes ...
curly or bushy or something like that?
