One cannot really tell where a voice type is heading, and it very much depends on what you end up being long-term comfortable with.

To give you an idea about different voice types, I just made a recording showing the difference between chest voice, head voice, and falsetto over the same range. It's not all that surprising that using chest voice and falsetto over the same octave range will be less than convincing at the respective upper and lower range. The difference between chest and head voice is mostly apparent at the higher range where keeping locked in pure chest voice gets close to the voice flipping. For reference, I add another copy of chest voice one octave below, and of falsetto one octave higher.

See whether this gives you more of an idea what this is about. In the lower/middle range of the exhibited range, head voice is smoothest because the falsetto is really taken below its natural range. In the low range, head voice is basically just the same as chest voice but with less chest resonance. In the higher ranges, it moves into a mixed voice type.
