Get it out of my hair
How about the expression 'get it out of my hair?' as in:
Anyway, since our organization agreed to the $300 deal, I think we should pay the full amount to keep our good reputation intact. And I really would like to get this issue closed and out of my hair!
So this expression must mean getting something annoying out of one's hair or getting a closure on an issue. But what is 'it' that the phrase refers to?

Thanks for your reply nona.
Do you know how the phrase originated? Is it from a book or some folklore? In which case 'it' would refer to something specific, although one can apply the phrase to mean anything annoying.
