Your hair is wayy more curly with a looser curl pattern not really typical "african American hair" you could just look up formal natural hairstyles on YouTube and youll find a lot

Shaundi, it's more like 3A, in some parts but it's like this too! Sorry, it's frizzy, I have 3A, and then corkscrew like curls!

Like three C except bigger, and it's definitely 3A just longer!

I would wear it natural! Thick curls can be hard to manipulate into a hairstyle, so you should just load up on anti-frizz products and serums and wear it all natural, curly, and beautiful. It would be cute to french braid the very front/bangs and it would take away some unneeded volume. Rock your hair girl, I am soooo jealous of it 💘❤️💫
