  hey, welcome!! i'd say 2b with some 2a . gradually, with time some folks find their curl pattern strengthens.

  also, products wise,-if count drying time on a day without product, this will help you determine whether heavier products work well or not.

  Without product, my hair dries pretty quickly, I think 30-45 minutes. I'm guessing that means I'd probably be better off with lighter products...

  Yeah, I'd agree with 2a for now. The health of your hair will continue to improve and most likely you'll get increased curl over time. I was a 2a when I started.
  The rapid drying time means that your hair is most likely higher porosity, although you do have shorter hair, so that may also play a part. If your hair absorbs product easily, that also is a sign you're higher porosity. Higher porosity hair can do well with being sealed (often with a butter or oil) after washing.

  
  3A/f/i
  Super baby fine hair, low porosity
  Shampoos: SM Fruit Fusion (mostly), Avalon lemon (to clarify). Occasional aloe vera and glycerin to wash.
  Stylers: Intelligent Nutrients Perfect Hold Hairspray
  Treatments: Catnip tea, IA girl's PT, Fermented Rice Water, Catnip Tea, Amla tea, Irish Moss, SS PT

  I would style with just a smidge of ISO Bouncy Creme (can find on Amazon) to hold your waves, or try a sea salt spray (Not Your Mother's makes a good one) to texturize without adding weight. I agree, 2a/2b would be your pattern right now.

  aggressively wavy | baby-fine | low density | high porosity
  
  starting from scratch on products, Living Proof "Timeless" was a disaster (crispy dry after 6 mos)
