Curly hairstyle (4)

I think it could be either:

perm

afro

'curly hairstyle' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for afro that I've seen before include "Big hairstyle" , "Bushy hairstyle" , "little Malian, for example" , "Rounded, curled hairstyle" , "Hairstyle adopted by the young Michael Jackson" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, The New York Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Telegraph, The Times and The Mirror.
