TWA Advice?

Hi ladies ! I'm a bit new to this group and I was wondering if y'all could give me advice on how to style my new hair ? I recently did the big chop , and I thought handling completely natural hair would be way easier than maintaining a permed style , and then definitely way easier than managing two different hair textures when i was transitioning for a year . But as I transitioned , i continued to damage my hair by flat ironing without using proper heat protection . So when my big chop actually ended up being a lot bigger than I thought , and i have NO idea how to handle hair this short and curly !!!! The top picture is my hair about 6 months into transitioning , the bottom one is me yesterday when I did the chop ! (obvi lol) please help !
