One of the great things about thick hair is that there are always a lot of hairstyles that are very well suited for thick locks. Another is that most styles will stay in your hair long after other hair types have faltered and fallen flat.
While this means that your hairstyling options can be pretty versatile, it can also make finding a style overwhelming. So to help you out, we've put together some great hairstyle ideas for thick hair.
Salon Straight Strands:
A style that looks great with any hair type or length is salon straight strands. While a thick hair texture may mean it takes more work to get your locks this polished and sleek looking, the result will be worth the effort. Use your hair straightener or blow-dryer to re-create these smooth strands. And don't forget that if done right, a blow-dry can last you days.
Big Curls:
Thick hair was just made for big curls and is the perfect hair type to create and hold onto some really great big and beautiful curls. Use large hot hair rollers in thick sections of your hair or a large barrel curling iron to create your curls, and don't forget to use plenty of hairspray to keep your style in place.
