Help!
I need suggestions for hairstyles that an anime girl with long yellow hair would wear that would absolutely scream GENKI, and yet would not scream Sailor Moon. Like, unfortunately, this one does:
Very genki/happy/bouncy. Also, very Sailor Moon.

So: suggestions, please! Links to pictures that are similar to what you're talking about would be good also, as I've found that plain verbal descriptions don't always work. :)
THANK YOU
If I told you why, I'd have to kill you. Well, not really, but it's something being worked on with others for something else that isn't yet ready for prime time. And won't be as exciting as this sounds when it *is* ready for prime time. :) But I'll let you know.

-three or four messy buns, tied off with ribbons that have slipped out of their bows (so excited to start her day that she rushes through getting ready/etc)
-hair clipped back with two super-cute barrettes
-heidi-style wraparound braid, either all of her hair up or just partial. Possibly with ribbons and flowers (plucked on her way to school?)
not exact representations of my mental images, but closest I can find atm

3. This one seems too simple to find many pics for.

Genki + Hairstyle tends to always make me think of Haruhi. XD
