good cut for very thick wavy hair

cassie01

Can anyone give me advice on getting a proper haircut for thick hair? Some hairdressers dont think the thinning scissors is the way to go because it damages hair and hair grows back even thicker. Every hairdresser seems to have a different idea about how to cut it??

The best cuts I have had, I have got from Cowboys and Angels. Ask for someone who either has the same type of hair, or is good with your type of hair when you ring up. They are expensive, but the best cuts I have ever had, has been with them.

Stay away from layers as they will make your hair stand out alot more then a straight cut.

I've extremely healthy thick (insanely thick) hair, and this is coming form somone who straightens her hair pretty much every day! I've always had my hair thinned because otherwise it's just a big mass of hair on my head, and completely unmanagable. Layers are usually the way to go, but if you've too many put in, it gets a bit time consuming doing your hair.

I have long thick wavy frizzy hair, and so thinning and layers, along with my trusty GHD made making my hair look decent way easier and managable.
I don't know what way thinning works if you want to leave your hair wavy or curly, or whatever

I have thick wavy hair and over the years I've come to some conclusions

1. Go somewhere where the hairdressers are very well trained. Lately I've been going to Essensuals and they've been doing a good job. It will cost (I typically pay 80 yoyo but to me it's worth it).

2. Ask for a hairdresser who has similar hair or is good at cutting it. They will know what works.

3. I generally get long layers (chin length or longer) cut in. Shorter layers float up, but some layering is essential (I think) to take away the volume. I don't straighten my hair often, but when I do, the long layers give it a really cool chunky look as well.

4. Thinning can be done freestyle or via the thinning scissors. It seems to be a hairdressers preference - though I think the better haircuts have been freestyle thinning.

Hope this helps.

I can't recommend Carl in Ozlo, George's Street Arcade highly enough. He does an absolutely amazing job, total miracle worker
