Well, you have a high forehead... You also should take into consideration that a hairstyle with more length & volume will help to detract from your neck.

You can... Though I don't think it's a good idea.

However my opinion is biased, since I don't think that type of braids ever look good on females. Some girls can pull it off, sure, but I think it's something they can "afford", not something they should be doing. Like wearing guy's clothes. They'd be cuter without.

The picture you posted, for example, clearly brings out that woman's manly traits. I'm afraid it will do the same with you.

I dont think the full braid look works on most caucasians. I've spent a good amount of time in the Caribbean and have seen many try to pull it off and most have failed at it.

Just for completion I want to present as girly androgynous not as a "clear girl"

Hairstyle ideas welcomed (but must be suitable for curly hair and have low maintenance)

That hairstyle reminds me of the predator. So not cute, IMO. I think it would be better if you keep your curls. I have curly hair as well and I wear it our everyday. It's extremely easy to maintain. You just have to buy products that will enhance your curls.

Right now I'm using The generic version of Paul Mitchell. I don't recall the names right now but I use two different product. One is a moisturizer and the other is an oil. It keeps my hair looking vibrant and healthy all day.

Just wash your hair as you normally do, spread the product throughout your hair, and use a diffuser or let it air dry. It takes me 5-7 minutes to do my hair every morning and it gets minimal to no damage.

Black girl with dread-like braids=edgy and classy, usually sexy.

White girl with dread-like braids=please take my wallet, leave me in peace, and go smoke your meth somewhere else.

She may be half white (which I didn't know) but she looks black, therefore she looks good in cornrolls/braids.

Let your natural curls out.

If you aren't careful getting the cornrows done and then don't take the right care of them they can be damaging.  Especially since you'll have thinner hair because of your ancestry.

Check out the curly girl method.  It is a no-poo (or at least no SLS) and no silicones (or any other cones) method.  On days when you don't wash your hair it is almost no maintenance at all.  Since it is a no blow-dry method it does take a bit more work on washing days, but so far I think it is well worth it.

I used to have to cover my hair in silicones or flat iron it to not look totally frizzy.  Now most mornings I can just spray it down a bit and I'm done.
Blessed Be!

Ok
So the question is
what to do with this:

To make a cute hairstyle which can be 3-4 days without much maintenance (washing, drying, etc.) and don't look like a witch from forest?  ::)

Really, check the curly girl method.

Your frizz is caused by lack of moisture and the hair is trying to absorb moisture from the air.  That is why it says no SLS (very drying detergent in shampoo for suds) and no cones (sili, dimethe, etc.).  Silicones WILL make the hair look unfrizzy because they do coat the strands, but it is a band-aid since it doesn't actually moisturize the core and actually prevents other moisture from crossing the barrier it forms.

BTW even though it is no-poo, that doesn't mean you can't use the "right" kinds of shampoo and even if you don't then it calls for a conditioner wash followed by TONS more conditioner that you rinse or even [partially] leave in.

I'm a lot less frizzy now.  This isn't a new trend either, the original book was published in 2001 and it is still popular.
Blessed Be!

Realize that most of us have taller than normal foreheads.  The only thing I think that hurts that picture is your forehead height.  That is just one of those things we have to deal with or have surgery to correct.

Even with a different hairstyle you are still going to have a high hairline.  Maybe if you go with shorter bangs in front to disguise it?
Blessed Be!

I look detail to that forehead thing
And if i put this (which was on top) picturest cut to half together then is no difference in hairline
So I don't see a problem in this aspect
