But first things first: step cuts, please!

Unfortunately, a straight cut quickly leads to the dreaded triangle look with thick hair, as it tends to become wider at the tips. This really doesn't flatter any face shape. However, this very bulky look can easily be avoided with a step cut. The hairdresser thins the hair a little towards the bottom so that it falls looser. This means that short hairstyles can be worn even with thick hair.

Bangs are actually one of the hairstyles that are easier to tame if you have thick hair. Because the hair is so heavy, the bangs stay in shape more easily. In addition, the short hair on the bangs loosens up our entire appearance and makes the cut appear finer.

More shine: How to style thick hair!

A common problem with thick hair is frizz. The cuticle layer of thick hair is naturally roughened, which quickly leads to dryness and frizz. However, you can counteract this by blow-drying towards the ends. This closes the cuticle layer. The result is silky, shiny hair. You can increase the effect if you add a few drops of hair oil to your hair.

But even if you have thick hair, be careful when heat styling! Just because hair appears thicker and healthier doesn't mean it can handle more. Thick hair already tends to be dry, but hot blow-drying or straightening makes this effect even worse. If you don't protect your hair from this, you'll quickly end up with a lot of brittle and dull strands.
