In a writing practice, the translation for 'she has long blond hair' is either 'elle a de longs cheveux blonds'

or 'elle a les cheveux longs et blond'. I wonder if 2 of the following are correct also?

elle a des cheveux longs et blonds

elle a les longs cheveux blonds

Allons/Allons-yCould you use just "Allons!" for "Let's go!" if there's no clear destination, or should both "Let's go!" and "Let's go there!" be translated as "Allons-y" ?

Y vs là vs là-bas

Hi, could you please explain the difference in using y/là/là-bas

For example,

I'm going to the beach tonight

Je vais y aller ce soir

Je vais aller là ce soir

Je vais aller là-bas ce soir

Is there a difference in these phrases?
