I actually do something (for other reasons) that may help solve your bugs-in-hair problem. Can't help with the bugs in mouth thang, though!

So.... um.... I wear pantyhose on my head when I ride. Yes, pantyhose.

I put my braid down one leg of the hose, and then put the panty part on my head. The spare leg gets wrapped around the "ponytail" area. This keeps road grit out of my braid. The leg also shortens up my braid and keeps it from getting stuck in the rear brakes.

In wintertime I use heavier opaque tights, in summer I use more of the sheer light stuff.
