20 Chic Low-Maintenance Haircuts for Thick Hair

Piecey Pixie

In order to adequately flaunt wavy texture, you don’t need long, shoulder-length, or even bob-length hair. “Pixie cuts are great for thick hair because they get rid of the extra weight,” Schmidt says. “As a way of communicating with your stylist, take photos that show your stylist what you would like to achieve.”

Side-Part Long Hair

You can see how beautiful the parting looks on Maitreyi Ramakrishnan. In this silhouette, you can see how her thick hair stands out. Best of all, it isn’t difficult to style. If you’d like bounce curls throughout your hair, use a large-barrel curling and wave iron like the T3 SinglePass Curl 1.5″ Ceramic Long Barrel Curling and Wave Iron ($170).

Straight Wolf Cut

The wolf cut is popping up everywhere this year, and it’s one silhouette that works particularly well with thick hair. “The modern mullet is an edgy and bold cut but surprisingly low-maintenance for thick hair,” Schmidt says. “Its jagged and imperfect edges make it super forgiving and can be grown out into a shaggy look easily.”
