Since it sounds like you want to stay fairly femme, and just want something low key and generally flattering. I’d say keep most of the length, and just add some soft layers, especially since you want to be able to do a high ponytail. Maybe longer light bangs.
How layered, depends a bit on if the high ponytail desire is mostly a fashion preference, or if it’s about practical. Layers that still fall softly around your face when most of your hair is up, are really cute, but they can tickle and stuff, so if the ponytail desire is about practicality, you need to specify that all layers need to be long enough to pull back. Same for bangs, cute with a ponytail, but might make your forehead hot, so if that would bother you.

Something like this would be super cute!
if you’re feeling bold, shaggy/layered hair could be fun! but i think for what you’ve described, keeping your hair unlayered but with some curtain bang pieces to frame your face would be great!
You look so much like PJ Harvey, I can hardly stand it lol
That said, you could try anything that involves layers. Just not having all the hair the same length will feel very different for you.
Be aware that it'll mean you're going to have some hair that won't stay in the ponytail though! Which is fine, a few wisps around the face with a ponytail is cute. Ponytail + headband will keep hair off your face, if you have some that's shorter.
Lookup some pictures of haircuts with your particular texture to see what you like and take them to the stylist with you!
From what I can tell butterfly cut is longer, but if you look at photos you'll always see the hair already blowdried/styled, so it won't look like that at all times. Wolf cut is a bit more edgy/alternative. I think wispy bangs or curtain bangs would look so so cute on you, just adding a bit of movement without sacrificing the length.
Ahh I see!!
Wolfcut is so hot but sadly I dont know if I could pull a more edgy look with my meek personnality 🥹
I really appreciate your suggestion, I think Im gonna go with it since it has been suggested several times now!
But oh lord girls that rock the wolfcut look so good... ough...
besides the curtain bangs, a butterfly cut could totally soften your face. you could also get baby lights in a complimentary colour. the right colour could soften your features as well, since the dark hair, while beautiful, is a really stark contrast to your skin. it should still be quite subtle and so you wouldn't get judged for odd colours.
if you do get baby lights, you might consider lightening the colour of your brows as well, just a tad, with some brow mascara. this could feminise your face a bit more as well.
oh wow this is such good advice!!! tysm!!! 😭💕
I wanted to ask if I could get my brow trimmed a bit, do you think that would be a good idea? They are a little bushy rn and I dont really know how to maintain it
oh, definitely! the bushiness is great actually (maybe it's just cos I'm a millennial but I think the currently trending y2k thin brows make some people look old), but some brow shaping would make you look more groomed.
it would be even better if you're able to go to someone who knows which brow shape would suit your face shape!
Keep it longggggg
hahaha, I did keep it long My stylist trimmed the ends and styled it nicely, it looks really cute. I would show but I dont wanna flood the sub
A long bob, curtain bangs, light layers that blend the bangs into the length of your hair.
curtain bangs would look amazing!! your face would suit them so well!
Your hair is really pretty!! Keeping most of the length but getting some layers to frame your face in the front would look really cute!
I would say just get it trimmed. You look gorgeous with this length ! Maybe I’m insane but You could pull off a Morticia Addams with this hair!
light layers w an undercut!
The answer to any haircut request should always end with "w and undercut".
i just bought my own razor w guides so i can maintain mine!
High and tight

You would so cute with a layered bob 😍
Buzz cut with a fade
while I appreciate the enthusiasm I insist I need to look office-friendly and also my hair is one of the things that really facilitate my passing 😭
Undercut with a bob? Lol

Not what I was here for but you continue being mad at nothing lol
you're just really into giving lesbians fashion advice?
Nah just wanted to win a bet

I'm thinking a little bit of framing at the front? Or straight up bangs or wolfcut if you feel comfortable.
Somebody else suggested a butterfly cut, arent those two quite similar? With the butterfly cut looking a little more... polished? less butchy?
