NSOR: I need hair help!!

[blondnearby]

So you all have given great advice as far as hair is concerned in the past (MCC going brunette) and so I figured I would ask. I have a neuro disorder. Because of it, I am on several meds. Along with the meds and my weightloss, my hair has been falling out at an upsetting rate. I also used to dye it regularly but since it started falling out, I stopped as to avoid damaging it and possibly losing more.
Currently, my hair is just gross. It is so thin and stringy and I wont begin to mention my roots... So here is where you all come in. What should I do? Chop it off (pixie cut? bob?)? Dye it, what color? I have had my hair pretty much every color under the sun. I get most compliments when I am either a red head or blond. Darker browns/blacks tend to wash me out unless its just the base. Should I just trim it and let it grow? Any particular haircut that would help it look not so thin? I have clip in real hair extensions that match now (I bought them a long time again and somehow I got lucky in that they match my natural hair color). Here are two pics so you can see what I am talking about and also so you can tell me what types of hair cuts would look best with my face shape.
TIA!

Bob with wispy layers and side swept bangs. Light brown.

Try using Rogaine for women.

I think you should cut chin length or a touch longer. It will give it more volume.

I definitely think you need to get some of the length off. I’d go anywhere between your chin and shoulders. Lots of layers and maybe some side bangs. A lot of how your hair looks also depends on how you style it. You can have all the layers you want, but if you just let your hair hang there, it’ll just look wispy. Use a round brush when drying, add product that’ll help with volume and don’t be afraid to curl it for volume too. When you get your hair cut, have your stylist show you what to do with your hair to give it more volume. That helps too!

What about using Wen? I've heard great things about it, especially for thin hair?

This, if you think your hair will hold the shape.

I think this cut would be really flattering also.

Ditto PPs, cut some of the length off. Would you ever go short? My hair sits like yours when it is long, but I have an easier time getting some volume from products when it's real short. I love it short. It's a big step though. I also adore red, so I'm kind of bias for red hair.

I would go short. I was short before so that doesn't bother me in the least. I am just afraid of how it will look because my face is so round. I just want it flattering.

I think if you go longer than chin length you will be fine. I like the cut that MCC posted as well.

Great style for fine hair!!

I think chin length bob...little layers for movement
I would not color it until it starts to grow back

I love the Heidi cut
