Most of us with thin hair tend to wish we had thicker hair. That feeling is reversed for those who have unruly thick hair. The question remains, is having thick hair really what you want?
Having unruly thick hair can be a real headache if you do not understand how to care for it properly. Here are a few problems people face with thick hair.
#1.When thick hair is grown out it usually gets frizzy
#2. Short thick hair tends to be hard to style and usually requires thinning out to look normal.
#3. Thick hair takes longer to wash, dry and style and may require you to use more products.
Understanding some common issues with thick hair may help you to live in harmony with your luscious locks. Thick hair may be easier to manage by keeping it more on the medium too long side. Using the weight of your thick hair, a good stylist can design a perfect style that will accent your features and help your hair to be more manageable.
I have put together some hairstyles for thick hair that I hope will help you understand how to get the best
Lindsay Lohan’s Hairstyles -
Lindsay Lohan turned heads at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards with her dazzling locks. Her copper blonde mane was draped over her shoulders, showing off glamorous length with little or no layers. Groovy waves were added to soften her look and achieve a classic finish.
How to Style:
Allow up to 2 hours styling time for hot roller setting, teasing, pinning and spraying. This long lasting style is great for all occasions and all weather conditions.
Lindsay Price’s Hairstyles -
This was certainly a different look for Lindsay Price at the 14th Annual Cosmetic Executive Women Beauty Awards. I think she looks better with smooth locks, but let’s give her credit anyway for trying this soft curly look. The crown was teased and pinned up to create height, while soft curls were added all over to achieve body and bounce.
How to Style:
Allow up to 2 hours styling time for hot roller setting, teasing, pinning and spraying. This long lasting style is great for all occasions and all weather conditions.
Merrin Dungey’s Hairstyles -
This full and curly shape looked great on Merrin at the Walk of Style Awards. Merrin’s length was left below shoulder level and her top and sides were jagged cut to form this full and round shape. This is an easy style to maintain with regular trims.
How to Style:
Gel spray damp hair and then finger dry using circular scrunching movements. To finish, wax the ends all over for separation. Remember, the messier, the better.
Jamie O Neal’s Hairstyles -
Jamie pulled off a soft and sophisticated look at The 42nd Annual Academy Of Country Music Awards with the help of her thick and windy waves. This is a great hairstyle for triangular face shapes because the hair has been styled to fall to both sides of the forehead. This is also a great style for thicker, heavier hair types.
How to Style:
Allow your stylist up to 2 hours for hot roller setting, molding and spraying. This style will last very well in all weather conditions.
Jennifer Esposito’s Hairstyles -
Jennifer looked like a rock star with this sassy style. Her tresses were left to fall below her shoulders to show off the layers that were cut from her mid-lengths and blended down to her textured ends. To complete her look perfectly, her bangs were chipped on the ends.
How to Style:
Apply mousse to damp hair then blow-dry using a medium vent brush, turning your hair under as you go along. Smooth shine the top layers and then lacquer lightly for hold.
K. D. Aubert’s Hairstyles -
K.D. Aubert’s adorable curls had the cameras going wild at the premiere of The Grand in Los Angeles. Her layers, cut through the back and sides, created great body and volume making it perfect for those with longer face shapes. The top was teased and pinned back to create balance. This style is easy to achieve on naturally curly hair.
How to Style:
Apply mousse to damp hair, then starting at the sides, blow-dry under then out. Continue all the way around finishing with the bangs, being sure to turn them under and down. Once dry, a ceramic iron can be used following the same path as before. Finish with some wax to the ends and lacquer for hold.
Joss Stone’s Hairstyles -
Joss pulled off an eye catching look at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards Special Announcement with the help of this fantastic style. Soft waves were added through the mid-lengths and ends of her long hair and layers were cut through her ends to add hold and shape to her waves. To finish, her long bangs were styled to fall onto her forehead, making this hairstyle perfect for high hairlines and long face shapes.
How to Style:
Apply mousse to damp hair, then blow-dry using a medium vent brush, or let the hair dry naturally. Using your fingers, apply a generous amount of wax or molding cream to the entire hair and then separate into small clumps.
Stephanie Pratt’s Hairstyles -
Stephanie Pratt’s hairstyle for The Hills finale party definitely proved that classic can also be sexy. Layers were cut from her mid-lengths to ends to give her style plenty of body and movement and to help her waves sit perfectly to compliment her face. This style is a fantastic option for those with medium to thick hair.
How to Style:
Apply styling mousse to damp hair, then blow-dry using a large paddle brush or large radial brush. We recommend using a flat-iron to smooth over the hair once it’s dry to control fly-aways and achieve a sleek finish.
Suzanne DeLaurentiis’s Hairstyles -
Suzanne’s style looks fantastic and is perfect for those with longer face shapes. Medium to long layers allow it plenty of movement, and the bangs are a great feature that complete her look really well.
