I didn't read all the comments and not sure if this was mentioned but regional location matters!
I've held high/mid-level managerial jobs out West, the Midwest and now in the South. Where are you?

Mine as well. Also make sure it's as natural looking as possible. Not too long, too thick, too shiny, too big/curly, has realistic looking part, etc.
ETA clarification: Go for a wig if possible. It may not matter but if it does, it would suck for your hair to be the reason you didn't get a job. Once you're in there you can wear it the way you like.

As crazy as it may sound, although it shouldn't, HR Manager's are viewed as the role models for corporate policy, including dress. IMO you have to be extremely conscious of the message you're conveying during the interview (AND just as importantly, after you get the job. 
) I imagine the interview panel, will more than likely be comprised of individuals of a different ethnicity. Similar to what I posted above, you want to avoid their envisioning your influencing others (through your hairstyles) into wearing twists, braids, etc. And you can be assured they will envision the worst 
and not a neat style like yours.
I like the wig suggestion, and a sew-in is another option.

As an HR attorney, my experience is that HR offices go one of two ways in regards to looks: veeery casual, or veeeery professional. No in between. If you're not certain the company is casual, pull your hair back and in a bun. You said your hair won't lay down, but have you tried with a super strong hold gel and a scarf? You might just have to tie it down for a long time.
