A quick search didn’t reveal anything but I didn’t look terribly hard so forgive me if I’m retreading old ground. To be honest I feel like this is an omission from the base game, so I’m not putting it in the gem-store sticky.
I have an affro. I can do a lot of things with my affro including make it look nothing at all like an affro, but none of the things that are actually possible with my hair type are options in GW2 (the sole exception being the poofy pigtails hair the Asura use, that I wouldn’t be caught dead using IRL.)
So my suggestion/request, is for you to add more hairstyles that feature, or are possible with, really curly hair. I’m going to guess (based on the conspicious absence of this in most games) that curly hair is difficult to do and I can understand why hair with a lot of texture could be difficult to do in a 3d modeling program, but I feel like several of the hairstyles possible with curly hair should be doable.
You already have a (Norn) hairstlye with some cornrows and numerous hairstyles with braids, a full head of cornrows (for example) or other braids is something I could actually have irl that I don’t feel would be too challenging to put in game. Some examples of what I mean.
