What's nice about this one is the way that it celebrates the fullness but also incorporates smoothness. Lianne La Havas has one side tucked behind the ear while the other sweeps across the forehead and brushes the outer corner of the opposite eye.

A professional relaxer treatment would help to tame the frizzies and make it easier to create a hairdo like this one.
