new hair suggestions?

I need/want to know what hair styles i can wear because its the summer and i want a change. I also want to know if rubber bands or schrunchis are harmful to my hair because i always wore it in a pony tail. i also tried wearing it down naturally. (it doesn’t work) And i can’t get perms or coloring so my options are sort of limited.
(I my hair grew down to my elbows and i remember i got a perm from this lady, in a few months my hair went from my elbows to my shoulders. the lady didn’t even know how to do her own hair and she didn’t take care of mine. I couldn’t do anything about it. that’s why i can’t get perms. ) its been 5 years and my hair is still trying to recover. but that’s a different story

ethnicity: biracial,1/4 cuban 3/4 black
hair color: black
hair type: wavy and curly (wavy in front, curly in back)
hair texture: course, thick
face shape: square

FOR people with EMO spiky hair?

ok, so i have emo hair style, and i tend to spike it up QUITE often. BUT one problem =[ the hairspray i use (finesse) tends to make the hair all hard and sticky, and extremely painful to move. Does anyone use a hairspray that allows your hair to be spiked up, but doesnt make it hard? also, how do you use it when you style your hair to make your hair spike?

How should I have my hair cut?

I really want a hair cut, but I’m not sure what to style to have.

My hair is halfway down my back and it is very thick. I wanted to have it layered, but if I do get it layered it will become even thicker. I have a middle parting and I want to keep it. By the way, my hair is dark brown.

I like Kristen Stewart’s hairstyle, but that’s layered. . .
