Best hairstyles for thick hair – short bobs
Another of the basic cuts that always makes the list of the best hairstyles for thick hair is the graduated bob. The correct layering technique should aim to break-up the solid sections of ‘weight’ and leave the hair with its natural movement defined and flexible.
So, there should not be a set line circling the head as is the case for other hair types. An experienced ‘thick-hair stylist’ should make an artistic evaluation of your hair and create a tailor-made cut that encourages the hair to fall in an inward curve at the ends – minimising any trace of bulkiness – whilst achieving the right amount of crown lift!
Medium-length best hairstyles for thick hair
There are lots of great new hairstyles for chin to shoulder-length hair right now that can be worn successfully on thick hair types. To calm your fears of getting a ‘triangle’ or a ‘mushroom’ shaped cut by a stylist inexperienced in cutting techniques for thick hair, book an initial consultation and ask questions until you’re satisfied.
Sliced layers are the key to layering thick hair properly, as this takes away the weight and encourages hair to lie sleeker to the head and move in a specific direction. Among the current best hairstyles for thick hair are long, sleek layered bobs or long bobs with loose waves and a trendy straight-across fringe.
The centre-parting is the most popular look for AW15 and on an oval face you can wear this with shorter layers parted to create soft ‘wings’ that frame your face. If you don’t have an oval face, just choose an off-centre parting that balances with your individual face shape!
Best half-up hairstyles for thick, long hair
Bring your long or medium-length hair right up-to-date with a half-up style that has a bun on the top and flowing hair at the back. It’s a classic look, that’s never really out of fashion but make sure your fringe is cut straight across to be totally trendy for 2015.
This is one of the perfect half-upstyles to choose if you have thick, long hair as it chimes perfectly with the 1960’s vibe that’s reflected in lots of the 2015 hair-fashion preview look-books!
Left casual and windswept it’s an authentic retro-Beatnik look from the late-50’s, but it also looks fabulously elegant when carefully styled for a formal event!
The choice of long, medium and short styles for thick hair is huge, so dive into our fabulous Inspiration Gallery of the trendiest and best hairstyles for thick hair right now and fish-out your favorite new look!
