Regardless of what side of the fence people with thick curly hair are on, thick curly hair can be time consuming and difficult to manage. Finding hairstyles for thick curly hair that are easy and not too time consuming can be a challenge, but it is possible.
Here you will find 5 hairstyles for thick curly hair, one hairstyle may work better than another depending on the hair’s texture and length.
Pull Hair to the Side and Add a Hair Scarf
This particular hairstyle for thick curly hair works the best if the hair is a bit longer. The hairstyle is very simple and looks very stylish. Pulling the hair to one side in a low ponytail so the hair cascades over one shoulder gives the illusion that hair is not as full and fluffy as it may be if it were just laying normally. Wrapping a sheer scarf around the head or adding a headband distracts from the ponytail and also helps to keep the hair on the head from springing up and out.
Pull Front Half of Hair into a Small Chignon
Pulling the front part of the hair up in a small chignon and leaving the back lay as normal is a great way to reduce some of the fullness in the thick curly hair. This easy hairstyle for thick curly hair is a great way to keep hair off the face so that lovely facial features can be viewed.
Full Chignon with All the Hair
Chignons do not have to take a lot of time nor does a chignon need to be perfect, a messy or fairly neat bun at the nape of the neck make for a wonderfully cool and sexy hairstyle for thick curly hair. Pulling a few wisps of hair around the face also helps to give the effect of a relaxed and carefree look without the hair being too overpowering.
Allow Hair to Air Dry and Hang Naturally
