Anyone have good tips on styling long straight hair? Like, pretty damn long, way down my back

I want it to be more fem (or something strongly androgynous maybe) but its still coming across pretty masc rn I feel. I go between having it down (can be a mess but androgynous I guess), having it in a lowish ponytail (pretty masc and I've seen so many mean comments about "sysadmin ponytails" and such that it makes me feel bad now), and a basic braid (I can do it myself but nothing that requires starting further up on the head or accurately dividing hair at the scalp) which is okay but ends up feeling kinda like a ponytail

I do need a haircut, so ideas there that don't involve losing a ton of the length would also be amazing. In the past the only haircuts I've really gotten were to cut it straight across my back so that at least all the split ends are cleaned up, which makes it a lot nicer, but not that different overall.

Get some layers in there if you’re getting it cut. I used to like hairstyles where I only took the top part of my hair in a ponytail, bun or braid. To get the right part of your hair: start with your thumbs where your ears start and grab the hair by moving your thumbs to your crown. Then bind that part in a ponytail. This is a starting point for many cool hairstyles from easy to more advanced.

I also used to start like that when creating a French braid because it’s easier.
