What Hairstyles Do You Suggest?

So I have mixed chick hair. Like the gal outta of the SpiceGirls that has the curly hair. My hair is exactly like her's but shorter. My hair comes down half way on my neck.

What hairstyles do you recommend that I try out?? If you can send pics too that would be great!

Suggestion:

1. Scrunch with gel (if thin hair), creme (of thick hair)
2. Straighten your hair then do 2 braids (one in each side of face) then tie in back.
3. Mess up your hair with a little mousse.
