Haircuts designed for thick or poofy locks aim to minimize bulk and volume by using thinning shears or feathering the ends with a razor. Keep hair well hydrated to avoid dryness and reduce frizz and brittleness that causes puffiness. A medium-hold hair product should work great; work it into your locks!
Textured Crop
A textured crop haircut is one of the most sought-after choices for men with wavy hair. It looks trendy yet requires little styling to maintain. Perfect for thicker locks, as it gives the illusion of fuller and thicker hair. It works well when combined with quiff or spiky styles. Pairing it with fades and undercuts on the back and sides, usually taper fades, creates an ultra-modern style. A blunt fringe can also be added for added effect.
Mid-Length Wavy
If you’re ready to step away from pixie cut styling but are hesitant about committing to a long bob, mid-length wavy is for you. This cut provides ample volume without creating an unflattering pyramid shape that short styles often do. It’s ideal for an elegant and feminine style with wavy hair layers and jagged edges that blur the strict definition of an angled bob. Adding light blonde balayage highlights for added dimension can enhance the look.
Shaggy Layered
Opt for this shaggy layered haircut for an eye-catching cut for thick, straight hair. With choppy layers that break the flat surface of your locks, it creates fullness and volume. Pair it with long face-framing bangs and light copper highlights for a rock n’ roll aesthetic, or try darker blonde balayage instead for a casual vibe. Shaggy layers are an iconic look from the 1970s that add a playful edge to your style.
Choppy Top
A choppy sun-kissed bob with layers is an ideal style choice for fine hair, providing depth and dimension without additional volume. Wavy textures like those seen on Scarlett Johansson from The Avengers look especially lovely in this effortless-looking style, making it suitable for everyday wear or a casual lunch date. Adding highlights or dip-dye color can add an edge to this choppy cut.
