10 AMAZING HAIRSTYLES FOR THICK HAIR
Everyone thinks that you should feel blessed for having thick hair, but sometimes it can be a right ball ache. It can take ages to style, not every haircut works and sometimes it's almost impossible to create a 'do that doesn't look like it's straight out of the 80s.
If you want to create the illusion of thinner hair, you need to section parts off. Diane Kruger is a master of weaving her hair intricately, which makes it look more delicate, while Kate Middleton uses the good old trick of a half up 'do when she wants her hair to seem less thick.
For a quick fix, you can simply tuck your hair behind your ears to create a dual texture look. The sleekness at the top will nicely balance the fullness at the ends. Same goes for pushing your hair back on one side a la Gigi Hadid.
Ombre works well too because the lighter shade makes the ends look less heavy, but if you want to actually add lightness and movement to thick hair, opt for layers. See Julianne Hough's choppy bob for the perfect example of how to work shorter lengths if you have thick hair.
If you want to keep the fullness of your hair without adding layers, aim for a length just past your shoulders. It's long enough to style, but won't take you half day to curl, wave or straighten. Keep in mind that chin to shoulder length hair can be hard to work, waves will add an interesting element to thick hairstyles for medium length.
Don't forget to celebrate your thickness too. Braids and plaits look especially good when thick, as proven by Blake Lively's incredible fishtail plait. And remember, you're one of the lucky few who can pull off a voluminous top knot like Salma Hayek and blunt bangs like Rose Byrne, without having to sacrifice volume from the rest of your hair.
