Obviously there are many ways different hair types can be worn, combed, braided, cut, etc., but is natural, untouched Black/African decendent or ancestry hair an afro like in the 70s or was that styling? I imagine if it is natural, it’s normally like any hair cut shorter to make it easier to manage so that’s why one might see many lengths?

This is a video of someone who didn’t brush their hair for 4 months. It’s not as matted as it can get but you can see it’s pretty matted.
