    Try putting some hair jewelry in your hair. Bejeweled or gold-plated bobby pins can add some femininity to your look.

    I really want to get an even length pixie cut, but I don't know how to find one. No one I see looks like me, so I don't know if it would look good. I have a bob, between chin and shoulder length.

    You could wear a hair extension, or you could dye it. Be careful though, if you use an extension it might slip out.

    Gel shouldn't damage your hair. If you don't like using product, you can always try a hair clip or headband instead.
