15 of the Best Haircuts for Thick Hair

1. Thinned Out

One easy way to make thick hair more manageable is to opt for a layered haircut that involves thinning out the bottoms of your strands. Your stylist will use thinning shears to thin out your hair and make it a whole lot more manageable.

2. Messy Texture

Soft and subtle layers on the lower sections of your hair will make your overall head of hair more manageable. By incorporating layers into your strands you’ll encourage even more messy texture. This style is a win-win because it helps make your thick hair more manageable while also allowing you to get in on the messy hair trend.

3. Styled Pixie

At one point or another, everyone with short hair has wanted to cut it all off and wear a short and edgy haircut. This is your chance! Cut your hair into a pixie and style it with Nexxus Exxtra Hold Sculpting Gel to keep it sleek and styled.

4. Soft Layers, Soft Curls

Soften up your style by pairing soft layers with even softer curls.

5. Messy Lob

Wear your thick hair in a messy lob to show off your thick texture in a shorter and more manageable way.

6. Subtle Layering

These barely-there subtle layers will make your strands easier to deal with without being too much of a drastic change.

7. Long & Straight

Straighten your long grown-out hair into a sleek straight style. Straightened hair is known to be easier to manage and you’ll be amazed by how much more manageable it all feels once it’s straight. Be sure to prep your hair with Catwalk by TIGI Haute Iron Spray before your use your flat iron.

8. Highlighted Layers

Draw attention to your thick and beautiful hair by adding some subtle caramel-colored highlights.

9. Highlighted Layers

Add some layers just to the front of your style to lighten up the look without taking away from your luxuriously thick strands.

10. Grown Out

Embrace the thickness of your strands (no matter how high maintenance they sometimes are) and grow your hair out until it’s super long.

11. Blunt & Long

Wear your hair long with blunt edges for a super unique look. Blunt ends highlight the thickness of your hair and are the perfect way to show off your locks.

12. Voluminous Length

Why keep the volume at the top of your style? Use a large barrel curling iron to create curls throughout your hair to achieve volume all the way down the length of your style.

13. Blunt Bob

Another short haircut option, this blunt bob will be thick and voluminous with minimal styling due to the thickness of your strands.

14. Naturally Curly

Show off your curls and enhance them even more by combing Dove Style + Care Curls Defining Mousse through your curls while they’re still damp.

15. Bangs

Take some of the weight of thick strands away by adding bangs. By opting for bangs you’ll be dealing with less hair in the main section of your style. As all thick-haired girls know, this can be cause for a major sigh of relief. Looking for more styles for thick hair? Check out 8 thick hair ponytail ideas.
