Having thick hair has its own set of challenges.It's not always easy to find a style that isn't too unruly.You can find a style that works for you with the right products and practices.
Step 1: If you have short hair, you should get a textured hairstyle.
Short, thick hair that is textured on top will look more styled than if it were all one length.If you want to style it, you can either spike it up or brush it off.
Step 2: If you have medium-length thick hair, use an undercut.
You can still have long hair without it being unruly or in your face all the time, if you have undercuts that are long on top and short on the sides.If you have thick hair, undercuts work best because the long hair on top can support it.
Step 3: If you have long hair, wear a bun or ponytail.
It is difficult to manage thick hair that gets long.Pulling your hair back in a bun or ponytail is a great way to keep your long hair out of your face.Try wearing a bun or ponytail high or low on your head.
Step 4: Thinning shears are a good way to thin out your hair.
Thinning shears are used to thin out thick hair.When you go to get your hair cut, make sure to tell your hairdresser if you want thinner hair or if they recommend shears.If you have coarse hair, don't use thin shears.Coarse hair can look thicker with thinner shears.
Step 5: High hold hair products are a good choice.
The holds for hair products are low, medium, and high.Since thick hair tends to be heavier, a product with high hold is helpful in getting it to stay up after you style it.They should tell you on the label what kind of hold they have.Since your hair can stand up on its own, you may be able to use products with weaker holds.
Step 6: Use thick hair products instead of gels and creams.
Lighter products can weigh your hair down, and you won't have to worry about that since thick hair is better able to support itself.
Step 7: Try a hair product to make your hair manageable.
Liquid hair products are used to reduce hair tangles.It is possible to make your thick hair easier to style by smoothing out the individual hairs on your head.Put a dime-sized amount on your hand and work it into your hair.Then, style your hair.Don't use too much hair product, it goes a long way.A dime is usually enough.
Step 8: You can style your hair with a wide-toothed comb.
The wide-toothed combs have more space for the hair to pass through.If you want to style your hair, use a wide-toothed comb.
Step 9: If you have shorter hair, brush it up.
Applying a clay or wax to hold your hair in place can create a nice look.If your hair is on the longer side, you can still create this style if you have thick hair.If you have long hair, it may start to weigh itself down and fall flat.
Step 10: It's too long to brush up your hair.
Rub your hands together with a dime-sized amount of clay or wax.Run your hands through your hair from the front of your head to the back.The sides should be brushed back as well.A slicked-back style is a great way to get long hair out of your face.
Step 11: You should wash your hair at least once a day.
You can get away with not washing your hair every day if you have thick hair.It won't get as dry and prone to break if you wash your hair every other day.You may need to wash your hair every day if you have oily skin.
Step 12: After you wash your hair, use a conditioner.
A hydrating conditioner will make your hair manageable.It's a good idea to look for conditioners that say "moisturizing" or "deep conditioning" on the bottle.Take care of your hair in the shower.
Step 13: It's a good idea to wash your hair once a week.
Clarifying shampoos are great for washing out hair products that build up on hair, like waxes, creams, and hairsprays.If you have thick hair, washing it with a clarifying shampoo once a week will keep it soft and clean.Don't use a clarifying shampoos more than once a week because it can be harsh on hair.Use a hydrating conditioner after you wash.
Step 14: When you get out of the shower, let your hair air dry.
The challenge of styling thick hair is figuring out how much volume it has.Air drying is a good idea if you have thick hair.If you don't use a blow dryer or towel to dry your hair, it will be more voluminous.
