Thick Hair
Description:
Thick hair can overwhelm a cut if not properly managed. This texture requires barbers to thin, layer, and structure the cut to reduce bulk while still leaving enough body for styling. Styles like undercuts, textured tops, and pompadours look sharp when density is properly controlled.
What You’ll Learn:
Thinning shear techniques for bulk removal.
Layering strategies that keep shape without heaviness.
Guard transitions for clean fades on dense textures.
Best styles for controlling unruly thickness.
Style & Care:
Clients should:
Use lightweight matte paste or styling powder for control.
Blow-dry to tame volume after washing.
Trim every 6–8 weeks to prevent mushrooming.
Consider thinning appointments in between full cuts.
