Thick Hair

Taking care of thick hair

Thick hair is often seen as a real hair dream full, shiny and strong. Yet people with thick hair know better than anyone that it also comes with its challenges. Think long drying times, quickly frizzy hair or difficulty combing it through properly. Fortunately, there are plenty of products and tips to take good care of your full head of hair and keep it in shape.

What characterises thick hair?

Thick hair has a larger diameter per hair strand, creating more volume and strength. This makes hair look fuller, but it also means it absorbs moisture less easily and sometimes feels a bit stiff. Thick hair often needs more care to stay supple and shiny. That is why it is important to use products specially designed for thick hair.

The best care for thick hair

Thick hair requires intensive hydration and nourishment. Therefore, choose a rich shampoo for thick hair that cleanses the hair without drying it out. Combine this with a nourishing conditioner or hair mask to soften the hair fibre and reduce frizz.

Tip: Use a deep nourishing hair mask once or twice a week. This helps to make hair more combable and prevents it from feeling heavy or stiff. A leave-in conditioner or oil is also ideal for daily use, especially in the ends of the hair.

Styling tips for thick hair

When styling thick hair, it is important to choose the right tools and products. Always use a heat protection product before using a hairdryer, straightener or curling iron. Do you suffer from frizzy or wayward hair? Then a smoothing cream or serum can work wonders.

For extra volume without frizz, apply a light mousse at the roots and then blow-dry the hair with a round brush. Instead, do you want more shine and control? Then use a softening oil or styling cream specially designed for thick hair.
