How to Manage Thick Hair Like a Pro

Load Up on Dry Shampoo

If you have thick hair, you can likely get away with washing your hair less often than those with thin strands. “Dry shampoos are a thick-haired girl’s and guy’s best friend,” says Wcislo. Try the Garnier Fructis Texturizing Invisible Dry Shampoo, which helps add body and definition to hair, in addition to extending the time between washes. 

Section, Section, Section 

Whether you’re blow drying, curling or flat ironing, creating sections is key to styling thick hair. “Grab the most comfortable amount of hair you can handle at a time, and then clip the rest of your hair out of the way,” says Wcislo. If curling, think about vertical sections wrapped around a rod to create a loose softer wave. You can do less and still have volume and texture without making it look too big.”

Don’t Always Follow Directions

“You may go through three times the amount of product than a less thick head of hair may use,” says Wcislo. Use trial and error to figure out what your sweet spot is.
