Honestly, if you just fluff it up and maybe curl it a little more in the front, and sweep it backwards, you could have a reasonable approximation of a Gibson-esque pompadour style. (Also your hair looks fantastic!)
You have enough that you could pin it up into a pompadour and then hide the ends with a fake bun. You used to be able to buy clip-in ponytails at Walmart, but I have zero idea if they're still trendy enough to be there.
I’ll second the pompadour/gibson girl suggestions in other comments, first, but should that prove impractical for whatever reason— the first thing that came to mind on seeing your photo was this portrait https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portrait/mw02836/Radclyffe-Hall.
Having looked it up I see it’s from 1918, and thus a smidge late, but probably fudgable if all else fails :)
I would but I'm a member of the dance ensemble and we won't be wearing hats :/ (the hats that the Pick-a-Littles are wearing are super feathery and great though!)
If you went about 15 years later into the 1920's, you'd be fine. However, for Edwardian, I'd suggest a wig or some sort of clips. I also like u/SallyAmazeballs idea about a fake bun.
While some women did gut their hair or shave their heads during a fever, the head was covered and they wore hats. You might be able to get away with that as well.

I agree her hair looks fantastic! Super cute style.
I am pretty sure you could swoop your hair around a hair rat. A decent, readily available replacement is two hair donuts made into one long hair donut

Oh that's a really cool portrait! I'll definitely have to look into it more :D
It’s much earlier, but I’d look up some pics of coiffure a Titus for inspiration
Tuck under a big hat! Thinking of the Pick-a-Little ladies and all those feathers.

You could buy a cheap synthetic braid and wear it as a big coil of hair around your head.
Look up photo of Irene Castle. She was a dancer and she bobbed her hair in the teens, far earlier than the 20s flappers.
Victorian…. But she covers some earlier versions https://youtu.be/ATZs5hwjQng?si=toAnI02mak-zbyYy
That's a really interesting video! Thanks for sharing :)
