Should i get braids? (Pics included)

Should i get braidss? I've been growing my hair out for about 3 weeks now, but ever since i started theres been a constant debate in my head of whether or not i should really get braids. Will i look right in them?

I want them because they look awesome and i'm tired of having this everyday black guy hairstyle. So yea heres some pictures of me.
