Dare to take the next step? A full mane offers outstanding styling potential, even when kept short. From wow volume to a classy fringe – these three hip cuts prove you’ve got savvy, and present hairstyles for thick hair to their best advantage.

Fine, curly, wavy, thick – hair texture has a major influence on the final look no matter what the cut. Looking for more volume, lightness or an extra kick? Your every wish can come true with the right hairdo! Even if you prefer a short cut. For women with a voluminous mane, numerous good reasons speak in favor of going from long to short. We present our top 3 short hairstyles for thick hair:

The Shag

The next level: Distinct layers give the full mane an added kick – especially with the shag

Indulge your mane with a change in texture every now and then. A layered cut is especially effective here as it visibly loosens up your hair. The classic shag is a highly recommended hairstyle for thick curly hair in particular.
It is a strongly layered fringe cut, somewhat shorter in the top layer. The best thing about it: since the hair is thicker, the individual layers are clearly defined for an exciting and accentuated appearance.
This in turn grants you even more styling freedom when it comes to hairstyles for thick wavy hair. Defined strands (simple to do with gel or wax) create the cool undone hair look, while loose waves form the casual, feminine, swingy shag or swag.

The Retro Bob

Sweet sixties: A compact bob in the sixties style rejuvenates your look

The bob is the ideal short haircut for thick hair. With a chin-length blunt cut, slightly layered at the front, the hair gently caresses the face for a serene, well-kempt look that is sure to impress. Thick hair has a particular advantage with the bob, and that is volume. Elaborate blow-drying is eliminated since the hair falls perfectly with this cut. To create this short hairstyle for thick hair – a favorite, retro-style hairdo – all you need to do is turn the ends in slightly. A feathery fringe cut at an angle makes the accurate bob appear less severe and gives the full mane a modern kick.

The Wavy Lob

New wavelength: In soft curls falling to the shoulders, thick hair exudes Hollywood appeal

You desire glamour galore? A peppy long bob (lob) is the answer. This trendy hairdo is no more than shoulder-length, and is the perfect medium hairstyle for thick hair. It’s ideal for anyone who just cannot decide or is looking for an attractive transition look. Make waves of enthusiasm by styling this hairdo with soft curls. They add extra volume and give thicker hair a feminine, classic twist. If you want to get a bit more elaborate, try a side parting with hair that falls low onto the forehead – bring back the classic Hollywood diva style!
