When you have thick hair,
you’re likely used to two things: people constantly complimenting you
on your enviable tresses and hair stylists not knowing exactly how to
cut your hair. See, when you’re working with thick hair, as gorgeous as
it may seem (and, OK, as it truly is), cutting it to look that good is
no easy task. Think about it: while those with thin hair can rock a blunt bob
like no other to help amp up their volume, when done with your hair
type, chances are such a heavy look just won’t work. Ugh, the struggle.
Luckily, like many things thought to be impossible, finding the best
haircut for your hair type is actually totally doable. All it takes is
determining which hairstyle
will flatter your hair without making you look like a fluffy poodle.
Ready to show off your thick hair? Whether you want to rock short hair
or long hair, the following five haircuts for thick hair will allow you
to do so.

#1: Blunt Bangs
One of the season’s trendiest
hairstyles just so happens to be suited for thick hair. When you try to
cut blunt bangs with thin hair, the result can be stringy, separated,
and anything but blunt. But with thick hair? It’s like pulling a
gorgeous drape across your forehead to top off your personal look. And,
if you want to take it up a notch, you can ask your stylist to thin out
your fringe ever so slightly to perfect the season’s curtain bang
obsession. Whichever you choose, just be sure to avoid ultra-blunt
corners, as that can sometimes look a tad too geometric with thick hair.
#2: Choppy Bob
Bobs are seriously in style, but when
paired with thick hair, the result can sometimes be a bit too
triangular. To avoid a pyramid hair scheme, consider a choppier bob with
razor-cut ends to lighten things up. Not only will this cut give your
hair a subtle edge to it, but it will take some much needed weight off
your shoulders, too—literally.

#3: Long Layers
Ah, a real crowd pleaser. When it comes
to thick hair, opting for long layers can help lighten up your overall
mane, while giving it some dimension. It’s best to opt for these layers,
as opposed to short layers, because the shorter you go, the bulkier the
cut can look—which is the last thing you need when working with a full
head of hair.
#4: Undercut
When it comes to hair, there’s a fine
line between thick and bulky. If you want to maintain your length while
taking away some of the weight, consider asking your stylist for a
super-stylish undercut. The fun part about a close-cropped undercut is
that you can keep it plain or you can seek out a professional to detail
your shave for a pretty peek-a-boo anytime you pull your hair up.

#5: Blunt Lob
Sure, bobs are an easy win in the hair
world, but there’s nothing like a lob in the land of 2018. Lobs, known
for being just a touch longer than a traditional bob, offer a gorgeous
way to thin out thick hair for a root-lifting look that fizzles out ever
so prettily at the ends. The result? An A-list-worthy hairstyle that
goes perfectly with everything from an evening out to a girl’s night in.

How to Take Care of Thick Hair
Apart from the cut you receive, the way
in which you care for your thick hair plays a big role in its everyday
look, too. To make the most of your thick hair, consider switching up
your hair care routine to implement a smoothing strategy, which can help
minimize any added bulk from frizz or flyaways. To test this combo out
for yourself, stock your shower with the L’Oréal Paris EverSleek Keratin Caring Shampoo and L’Oréal Paris EverSleek Keratin Caring Conditioner, as well as the L’Oréal Paris EverSleek Frizz Finish Oil In Serum.
