Hair ideas.?

So as of right now I have SUPER long SUPER thick curly/wavy hair and it’s bright red.

(This is my long thick hair still wet and my natural brown color)

(This is the color it is now)

The issue I’m having is I feel as if I rely on my hair to much to tell who I am if that makes sense. People know me because of my hair, normally that wouldn’t be an issue for me but I’m about to become a mother. I want to be known for more than just my hair. Please ladies give me some suggestions, like cuts and colors and please leave reference photos if you can. I WILL NOT GO SUPER SHORT. Shoulder length is the shortest I will go.

Here’s some more face pictures so you can really determine what would look best, I know my face looks silly in these because I’m posing lol, but trust me you will never catch me looking normal.

(This is my natural hair, air dried and natural color.)

(This is blow dried and a failed attempt at straightening the beast.)
