You can apply a serum (I like super skinny serum) or a straightening balm. Those will help with frizz as well as protect your hair. Then use a straightener and voila!
As for a hairstyle with dresses, it depends on what you like. Sock buns are really popular right now and would classy with any dress. Otherwise, I would go with some all over curls. You can do a lot from there. Pull them into a low messy bun or pull some of the curls back for a half up look.

No matter what, you are going to have maintenance with a cut. Having short hair, you will definitely need to keep up with trims if you are wanting to keep it short. Whether it is short or long, hair grows at the same rate. It is just more obvious when it grows if it is short. With a pixie cut, there may be more maintenance then you realize. You may have to put styling products in it for it to do what you want. I used to have really short hair, and there was never a “wake up and go” way of life for me. With it being so short, I would wake up with my hair sticking straight up in places and there was no way to fix it without getting it wet in the shower. Even with a spray bottle, it wasn’t enough to tame the messy pieces. With longer hair now, I rarely have messy hair in the morning. And it’s easy to throw up in a ponytail when I don’t want to do anything with it.
I think going short is a great idea! It is fun and cutting your hair dramatically is always a great way to start a new chapter in your life. But if you are wanting a pixie cut or something similar because you want something low maintenance, I would maybe pass on it. For something easy to maintain, try cutting a few inches off. Just enough so that’s you can throw it in a ponytail when you are tired of it, but when you feel like styling it or going out, you still have that option. AND you won’t wake up with crazy hair in the morning!
Hope this helps! Again, this is only my opinion formed by my personal experiences!

It isn’t GREAT for your hair, but depending on the previous damage to your hair, you should be okay. I have had to do multiply bleaching sessions to my hair with extremely strong bleach. My hair isn’t in the best condition, but it’s not falling out either.
Also, your hairdresser will be able to tell you if your hair is too damaged to bleach it again right away.
Just be sure to take great care of it after bleaching it! Do deep conditioning treatments! :D

Are you wanting to get to something similar to your natural color? Or are you want something way lighter?
If you are wanting to go all over blonde, I would recommend starting with all over heavy highlights.
If you are just wanting to go to your natural hair color, you can do what is called a shampoo cap. I would probably recommend going to a salon for this. They will mix shampoo with bleach and lather it on your head and rub it for a while until it has lightened enough for the desired color to take, like a medium brown.
I hope this makes sense and helps! Let me know if you have any other questions :]

No, I think either color would look great! I am all for coloring hair unnatural colors, haha. And I love the ombré look. Go for it! And feel free to submit pictures!!!!

It will, eventually. Once you are done with the pink, purple, and teal, you can attempt to dye it back to a color that is similar to your natural color. After that, you will just have to wait for your hair to grow all the way out to have a full head of your natural color again.
Some people use stuff from a beauty store to strip the color from hair and go back to the natural color, but in my experience I have never seen these work like expected. They will strip most of the color out, but leave you with a color that isn’t your natural color still, and is usually several different colors anyways.

First of all, don’t listen to other people. Donating your hair is such a wonderful thing, AND as long as your confident and knowledgeable about how to style your hair and what works for you, anyone can pull of almost anything! I promise.
If you want to leave your hair as long as possible after taking the 10 inches off, try an A-line hair cut, and you can opt to get it stack in the back.

this is an A-line cut and it looks like there isn’t much stacking going on in the back. this particular cut has a lot of choppy layers, which makes this average haircut really funky!

I really like this one! It has a lot of “wispy” layers. It is also an A-line cut, with the length in the front a bit longer than in the back. This would look especially good on anyone with a round face, as you mentioned you have.
Another idea is to get a cut like one of these above, but ask the stylist to give you straight bangs. They look great on people with round faces, adding angles to a “non-angular” face shape :]
I hope this helps! Don’t hesitate to ask anything else :]

I know exactly how you feel! I am growing mine out at the moment, and it is so awkward right now.
You can try taking biotin. It is a supplement for hair, skin, and nails available even at walmart for about $6. Make sure you are getting regular trims. You don’t even need much off. Even 1/4 of an inch is better than nothing. Basically, keep your hair healthy and don’t let it dry out! Purchase a good shampoo and conditioner and a leave in conditioner you can put in after showering.
For now, you may just have to suffer through the awkward stages. I wish I had better advice than that. My advice is to find some hair styles that you could try. Try curling your hair if you usually straighten it, or vice versa. Find some hair styles where you pin up the sides or your bangs. Try anything new! It will be refreshing and maybe give a new twist on your awkward stages :D

Hi!
Actually, you don’t need to get dye that will strip your hair. You are correct in saying that the teal will most likely fade by September and it will still be blonde. When you are ready to color the underneath brown again, just go ahead and put the brown dye/developer mixture straight on the blonde. You can get bleach at Sally’s for anywhere from less than $5-$10 and brown dye for about $5. You probably want volume 10 developer for the dark brown and probably 20 or 30 volume developer when doing the bleach, depending on how fast/how dark your starting color is.
