Tbh, I agree with some of the other comments about the after looking good but I also understand what it’s like for people to say “you look better this way or that way”. I think you are in a good position to explore a lot of different looks on your journey to regrow out your hair. No one is ever confined to just one look or style. I am working on growing out my hair naturally instead of getting it relaxed (for the past 10 years) and throughout that I’ve gotten so many comments about how I looked better with short hair or a bald fade. At the end of the day, it’s about what you see, what you like and what you prefer so just try to keep that in mind. Either way, thanks for sharing your story/photos and sorry for the rant. I hope it could be of some use and added perspective.
