HELP! WTF is my HAIR TYPE(Thin 4C hair)

I’ve been looking into getting half wigs or a V-part wig because I’m tired of lace fronts. I’ve never really dealt with my natural hair before, but I believe I have 4C hair. I feel like my hair texture has changed since I was little. This is how thick my hair is when it’s wet, but I hate how it looks when it’s straightened—it gets so thin and BONELESS , and I can’t stand that 😭. Can someone please help guide me? Do any other 4C girlies deal with this too???
