One of the major problems with thick hair is the uncomfortable, peeling scalp. This is often caused by washing your hair unsatisfactorily throughout the shampooing process, this results in the leaving behind of a deposit of 'soap' on the scalp. Use of a conditioner (which blocks-in the outside of the hair making it silky and effortless to comb) will then seal any soap' that is left behind to your scalp. Basically, just wash for longer.
- As mid lengths of thick hair result in the sticking out of hair, thick hair does wonders when it is either of a small length, where the cut keeps it under control or of a length that is long enough for the weight of the hair to hold it down.
- Use of layers or thinning is a good option to reduce some of the thickness of the hair, but the shorter layers or pieces should not be too short as this can result in additional volume which is not needed.
- Prefer straight hair styles over curls or waves as they add more bulk and thickness to the hair.
- As solid hues make your hair look like a wig, go for high or low lights rather than all over color when you color your hair. While dark tones add density, lighter colors can make the hair look better and thinner.
Ponytails For Thick Hair:
Control is the key for managing thick hair and the simplest and most efficient type of control is the classic ponytail. Do try out this tip:
- If your hair is remarkably thick it can often be very hard to get a clean silky finish to the hair on the scalp, as parts of it are prone to lumping and clumping forming bumps. Try making the pony tail in two segments, the first from just below the crown down to the nape. The second segment the remaining of your hair from hairline to crown can then be smoothed with apad brushand secured over the first section with a second band.
Tip For Blow Drying Your Thick Hair:
With thick hairit's all about how lengthy the styling can be. To help cut down on time get rid of 80% (most of the moisture) by quivering or irregular drying with your hands before you start to use your brush to style the hair. This is because your hair is not going to take on any shape until you get to this phase so you may as well rough dry out the nastiest of the moisture first.
