Shoulder-Length Shag
Even with thick locks, you can still look adorable with the right haircut. A shoulder-length shag removes bulk while framing your face beautifully. This style looks lovely with neutral tones like silver, mauve, or blonde; try accentuating your strands with balayage or highlights for even more drama!
Long Bob
A long bob is an adorable way to frame the face and add elegance, perfect for thick hair. Keep your bob longer and straight for a classic style, or ask your stylist to cut some length off for a more edgy texture. Blonde hair is an iconic look for any bob cut, as it complements nearly all facial structures. Try an ombre effect by darkening your roots before going for blonde balayage on the ends for an eye-catching feminine style. Finish it off with short money-piece bangs for an updated feminine style. Dua Lipa’s beach wavy lob is another cute way to wear this haircut, using texturizing spray or dry shampoo for this look.
Pixie Cut
If you have thick curls, don’t shy away from opting for a short pixie cut; it will lighten your load while giving it an effortlessly stylish appearance. Add dimension and volume by slicing strands asymmetrically into layers while adding hues to your look for added impact. This whitish shade of blonde can bring out the best in any pixie cut, giving it a more voluminous and stylish appearance that looks fresh and stylish. Additionally, this hue brightens up your complexion and draws attention to your eyes – you could further elevate this style by texturizing with texture mousse or spray for an I-don’t-care vibe – this style works for both straight and curly locks, though wavy locks will benefit greatly.
Curtain Bangs
Curtain bangs offer an effortless, pretty style that frames and highlights your features without much upkeep. They work best on all hair lengths and can even be tailored to meet different facial structures – slimming long faces or adding width at cheeks with rounder facial structures. Shaggy bangs are an ideal style choice for thick and curly locks, as they offer an easy way to achieve beachy waves and more defined styles through texturizing sprays. This look lends itself well to personalization through interesting color placement, split dye techniques, or accentuating only your bangs with hued bangs – creating a dramatic or youthful aesthetic.
Textured Pixie with Short Bangs
A classic pixie cut can still provide you with an elegant appearance. Your stylist can use baby lights to emphasize the texture in your wavy locks by styling a short pixie with face-framing layers for added drama. Additionally, this crop requires little maintenance. A layered pixie with angled layers is ideal for thick wavy hair. The angular layers add visual interest, creating fullness.
Furthermore, this style works wonderfully for women with round faces by hiding flaws while creating an appealing balance in silhouette. Try opting for a chin-grazing pixie with many internal layers for an eye-catching and feminine style. It will lighten and manageable your strands, giving a lighter and easier experience!
Shoulder-Length Hairstyle
No matter the texture of your locks, shoulder-length cuts look fantastic on any person. Riverdale star Camila Mendes wears hers with soft waves that perfectly frame her face, adding dimension with balayage coloring that brings out its rich golden-brown strands. Keeping thick locks at bay with layers is always challenging with this shoulder-length style, providing movement and volume to thick strands. Choose long layers with slight angles around the face for a softer and more feminine look, or opt for choppy layers for an edge to your look. If your natural curls are unruly, try Better Natured Hydrating hair Oil ($22) to tame and prevent flyaways. Or try Padma Lakshmi’s sleek-straight style for round or oval face shapes: this look frames the face with subtle androgyny and works beautifully!
