What should i do to my hair?!?

Question

i really want to change my hair somehow. i've been thinking of dying it and making it darker but not too dark like black, but my sister says i'd look really stupid if i do. any recommendations for a new hairstyle? anything you think would look good! ive tried everything from really short hair (but i prefer keeping long) ive had black underneath strips of different colors crazy layers so ill pretty much go for anything. what do you think i should do?

here are some kinda recent pictures of me:

(in the first one my hair is still black underneath so it looks pretty dark at the bottom)
