Unruly,  intractable,  recalcitrant,  refractory describe persons or things that resist management or control.
Unruly suggests persistently disorderly behavior or character in persons or things: an unruly child, peevish and willful; wild, unruly hair.
Intractable suggests in persons a determined resistance to all attempts to guide or direct them, in things a refusal to respond to attempts to shape, improve, or modify them: an intractable social rebel; a seemingly intractable problem in logistics.
recalcitrant and refractory imply not only a lack of submissiveness but also an open, often violent, rebellion against authority or direction.
Recalcitrant, the stronger of the two terms, suggests a stubborn and absolute noncompliance: a recalcitrant person, openly contemptuous of all authority.

One who is headstrong is often foolishly, and sometimes violently, self-willed: reckless and headstrong youths.
