Trim: A good trim should remove the damaged hair. Beyond that, consultation with a cosmetologist/hair care expert for ongoing care and prevention would be appropriate.

Frizz: Depends what kind of hair you have but do nor use rubber bands only soft ties. Try Frizzeze or similar gloss product and as the other response said trime the edges.

Seborrhoic dermatit?: The scabs are probably as a result of your vigorous scratching. Chances are, you are itching secondarily to seborrhoic dermatitis. Try using a shampoo that works in fungal infection like one percent Nizoral (ketoconazole) which is available over the counter.

Only artificially.: You cannot change your genetics. You can straighten your hair with a perm or a flat-iron. You can shave your head. All of the solutions require some effort to change the natural tendency your hair has acquired through your inheritance.
