Short Haircuts for Thick Hair
1. Layered bob on thick hair
On thick hair blunt bob is not the forte for your texture as the blunt straight across cut can look quite intense. Opt for a layered bob. Ask your stylist to create even layers within your bob giving the crown area a slightly shorter length to give the overall haircut lots of body and movement. Alternatively you can add subtle layers within your bob for a slight movement. Try out a bob with a longer front area to create a stylish angled look.
2. Mushroom cut
Full and thick micro bangs brings out the luxury of this hairstyle. Thankfully you’re already in the thick hair department, now all you need is a front fringe and a bowl cut to match. Try out this round bang and round back haircut, and create a nice smooth bump to the ends of your fringe to add body. To style, simply tousle with your fingers after curling the ends of your hair. If you’re down for an edgier style, ask your stylist to use a razor comb to finish the hairstyle off with tapered bangs.
3. Teeny afro
Seeking inspiration for the big chop? Look no further. The teeny weeny afro is a low-maintenance and chic style. To maintain the length get weekly or bi-weekly trims. If you want to grow it out a bit ask your stylist for a tapered cut to give your hairstyle a nice shape.
4. Wavy haircut on thick hair
With thick hair that falls on the wavy end of the spectrum, try this wavy short haircut. Thick strands allow you to go wild and play with your texture. Whether your hair is cut shoulder or chin length, accentuate your curl pattern by twirling sections of hair while wet with a styling lotion and let it air dry or diffuse. Using this technique on thick hair gives the hairstyle more texture and body.
5. Rounded bob on thick hair
The focal point of the haircut is the horizontal graduation at the back. On thick hair this stacking effect gives a nice dimension to your hair but don’t go too crazy. Ask your stylist to keep the layers subtle around the crown area to steer away from a harsh and angular shape. The rounded bob haircut comes with a small price: Avoid the awkward growing out phase by keeping it neat with a slight dusting of the ends at the nape weekly or biweekly to maintain the shape.
