Need an opinion for one of my black oc's hairdos
Hey fellas, coming here after being suggested to, I have a set of characters that include 4 kids (12 to 14 years of age), and one of them is a young black girl. When I designed her hair, however, I drew something that I genuinely can't tell if I hallucinated the existence of or if it's a real hairdo, but all my DAYS I swear I've seen it before (I live in South Africa, I would assume this is probably something I've seen at least once and had just stayed in my subconscious up until I made Quinn lmao)
I can't supply an image rn so bare with me
It's similar to a flat top, but the sides of her head aren't shaved. The top of the style is less ACTUALLY flat and moreso bouncy or fluffy (depicted with some rounded shapes for cartoonism). It's bordered off with a yellow, thick aliceband and there's some loose curls that stick out underneath said aliceband, but in a way that's really cute (imo)
While the look is basically sisters with the Flat top, I can't help but worry there's something, like.. stereotypical? About it? It doesn't help that I never looked up a reference image for this or anything (I never really use references for.. like, anything ever) so I'm also just hoping that this isn't a caricature of an african hairstyle, yknow? If anyone could help me out, that would be awesome
