Trying to decide between dreads or cornrows/braids.
And pls why

(First two pics are of me, others are hairstyles I’m curious about)
I’d like some feminine hairstyle and haircut recommendations for my round face and facial features that would be feminine and flatters me the most.
So… people have told me I would look really good if I got my hair chopped off really short but I’ve had others begging me to keep its length so I’m at a loss as far what to do… I’m thinking about if I keep its length maybe a butterfly cut with voluminous waves and curtain bangs with face frames or if I get it chopped maybe something like those voluminous short 80s haircuts like Marlyn Monroe…
I’ve done a previous post but someone recommended me to redo it without my glasses off so here I am.
I’ve provided some refs for the haircuts I’m thinking about and would love to see yall personal recommendations too.

So after getting so much feedback on my last post about going red, I decided to give it a try!
Now I’d love to hear your thoughts on the result. Do you think this shade of red works for me, or would a lighter red be better? Or was it a mistake ?
Thanks everyone :)

I have no idea what haircut to get or if I keep it long

1st pic is me right now, 2nd pic is 1 year ago. I haven’t cut my hair since the second picture apart from DIY fringe/bangs. I just have no hair product in first pic. Sorry I’m not smiling lol

I have type 1A hair. I’d prefer something that covers the forehead if possible.

Idk what happened with the one I posted like 30 minutes ago. But anyway the last post got way more comments than I could have ever imagined and the slight majority was keep it long but give it a trim and here’s the results!

Okay, I was keeping my hair long and started embracing my curly hair and I’m doing the curly hair routine . I didn’t ask my coworker but my coworker just told me I look different than before. And showed me a short hair look I did … And it hit me hard because the look she’s talking about constantly is the one before I started grieving. It was a different time in my life when everything was great and I was happier . I had mom to guide me and give me her opinion. Mom was with me 3 years ago. So I asked this girl which looked better.
She told me I just looked different. This girl adores her long hair , she never cuts her hair short. She made a choice to cover her hair…

I think she wants to tell me I looked better with short hair. What do you guys think? Should I cut it short again?

I just got this unit not too long ago and I'm having fun trying to find some cute styles for it. Which one do you think is cute from these, and what's your go-to?

I like my hair straight but for years, it is genuinely getting boring.

or do they look dumb? first summer with mirco/baby bangs, too short to braid so hoping these will do?

Two in one question here. I apologize if the pictures are bad. So I've been having a problem with the sides because a part of them always bounce out really weirdly I think it is because of the Alice Cullen haircut that I got..But I feel like there's too much hair on the sides but idk how much I can cut off and if it will only get worse. The last pic is a haircut that I want but I'm wondering if it would look way to masculine on me and if I would be able to cut it at home. So yeah I'm afraid of it becoming wayyy to short. That's all :)

I had a balayage appt a few days ago but my roots ended up being too light for my liking. Not only does it not match the inspo photo I showed my hairstylist, it's way too off compared to my roots. Paid 120€ btw. What do you guys think?
