Hair suggestions?

I cut off my long dying hair in hopes of giving it new life, but now I hate my hair cut...

I wanted a trim with bangs added in but I got a much shorter cut :( so I am working on growing my hair healthy and long but I need a goal to work towards! I want to grow my hair so that i can achieve some beautiful new look!!

So suggestions? I want something long but styled and with a fresh color

*no blonde or bright reds please!

The photo is before the cut, I really hate my cut so I've opted not to include a photo but it's about shoulder length

Thanksss
