Thick Hair

Avoid blunt cuts that will make your hair look bushy. If your hair is thick and curly, a cut that brings out the curl will present fewer problems with hair style and care in the long run. Thick hair works either really short, where the cut keeps it under control, or long enough such that the weight of your hair holds it down. Mid lengths tend to result in hairs sticking out. Layering or thinning works well to relieve some of the bulk, but the shorter layers or pieces should not be too short, or they can provide added volume instead which is not what you need.

When colouring your hair go for high or low lights rather than uniform colour all over. Solid hues make your hair look like a wig, different coloured pieces break the hair up and soften the solidness. Lighter colours also make the hair look thinner, whereas dark tones add density.

The dilemma with thick hair is that it tends to get dry easily. You should avoid hair products that contain alcohol such as hair sprays and gels. Also, you would like to air dry your hair rather than using a curling iron, and use a mild shampoo to promote as much softness as possible.
