hair is hair, right?

i am looking for a change, you know, something new. fantabulous, even.
my hair. yeeaaa, i want some color, some blonde. some red. some brown. even maybe a streak of green?
big chop or fierce cut?
eventually, i'll want weave and wear it consistently. that'll defeat the point, completely. i feel my head is too big for any of it. my sister and friends are saying get the amber rose cut. it'll look good. but i don't know, i want to badly.
dreads?
as pretty as some are and tempting, i'll be snatching them things out of my head in no time. and if anything i'll want the smaller one, i looove the style people have with them but how long will be before i have every style and every look and color. i experiment, and it'll be a year by the time i get every possible hairstyle in color.

i don't know, still researching and soul searching. finding something that'll satisfy this craving. on a budget! ... i don't know, we'll see.
opinions are welcomed. =)
