I'm getting a dramatic change in my hair for my senior year but...?

Question

So, my hair has pretty much been the same the whole time I've been in high school. But for awhile I wanted to get it cut. My hair now isn't plain or anything...its black with different shades of brown for highlights. I was thinking of getting one of the following:

1. Plain Layers to make my hair look more full and bounce

2. A Razor Cut to stand out

3. Some kind of cut that is shorter in the back than the front, with layers

Keep in mind I have VERY thick african american hair and I'm getting this change for the first time and I don't know whether to play it safe and get the plain layers or go all out and do number 3?

Answer 1

I say go with 1 because you can get a lot of variety out of your hair.  

Answer 2

you could do a razor cut and take out a lot of bulk with that and still add layers

Answer 3

Well any kind of blunt cut will look bad, because of your hair texture and you say its thick. I would suggest 3 but have it cut with a razor. It will be beautiful.
