I think it's rather fun, I would get some hair chalks and just add some deeper link and sort lilac to the front, just on the tips. Sometimes it's better to go big!
I let my hair go back to natural during lockdown, but when two different friends few finer it as a nasty steel colour I went back to multi tonal blonde. Thick and dead straight I am growing it back to its mid length bob, so I have the hair up or down option. I didn't have the bone structure for a short sharp cut. Wish I did.
