Au Natural? Oh no?!

So you know how I'm supposed to be transitioning to natural hair? Well only about an inch of my hair is actually natural the rest is still very much relaxed.

I've been trying to figure out just how to go natural and after extensive reading on other websites I learnt that these are my options;

1. The "big chop" (cutting my hair)
2. Getting braids 
3. Wearing conrows under a wig
4. Getting a full head weave 

I'm getting a bit impatient and feeling unsexy at the mo. I know I don't want to chop my hair right now because I'm not convinced I understand how to care for my hair once it's actually natural AND short! So if anyone has any suggestions about what I should do I'd love to hear them! Tonight I'm supposed to be heading to a festival and will probably rock a hat seeing as I'm obviously not uber creative with my hair. This is what I'm working with:

I can't do it!
