Ask your stylist for layers that don’t blend completely together, creating deliberate disconnection.
This approach removes weight while adding texture and movement throughout the cut.
Style with texturizing spray and use your fingers to separate and enhance the disconnected pieces for modern, thick-hair-friendly texture.
14: Rounded Lob with Curtain Bangs
Opt for a softly rounded lob with face-framing curtain bangs that balance thick hair’s natural weight.
This feminine shape creates movement while maintaining volume where you want it.
Request a rounded shape that’s slightly longer in front to create a soft frame around your face.
Add curtain bangs that blend into the layers to distribute thickness evenly throughout the cut.
Blow dry with a round brush, turning ends under slightly to enhance the curved shape that makes thick hair appear bouncy rather than heavy.
15: Angled Lob with Razored Ends
Create a strong silhouette with an angled lob featuring razored ends that remove bulk without sacrificing style.
This technique transforms thickness into movement.
Ask for a dramatic angle from back to front with the longest pieces reaching your collarbones.
Request razored ends that remove weight and create soft movement rather than blunt thickness.
Style by rough-drying first, then smoothing with a flat iron to enhance the angular precision of this thick-hair-friendly cut.
16: Lob with Invisible Layers
Maintain the appearance of a one-length lob while secretly removing bulk with invisible layers. This technique reduces weight without sacrificing the clean lines of your cut.
Request layers cut into the interior of your hair that aren’t visible from the surface.
This approach maintains length and a blunt appearance while dramatically improving manageability.
Style with a flat iron for a sleek finish, or embrace natural texture without the heaviness that typically comes with thick, one-length cuts.
17: Voluminous Curly Lob
Embrace your thick curls with a lob cut specifically designed to enhance your natural texture.
This length creates a perfect canvas for showcasing voluminous curls without overwhelming weight.
Ask for layers that work with your specific curl pattern to remove bulk while maintaining shape.
Request slightly longer pieces around your face to allow for curl shrinkage and create a flattering frame.
Enhance your curls with curl-specific products scrunched into damp hair, then air-dry or diffuse for bouncy, manageable volume.
18: Side-Swept Lob with Undercut
Balance thick hair with a side-swept lob featuring a hidden undercut on the opposite side.
This combination creates edgy asymmetry while dramatically reducing overall weight.
Ask for longer pieces on one side that can be swept across, with an undercut on the opposite side.
This strategic weight removal prevents heaviness that can make thick hair feel uncomfortable.
Style with texturizing spray and tousle for an effortless finish that showcases thickness as deliberate volume rather than unwieldy bulk.
19: Lob with Wispy Ends
Soften thick hair with a lob featuring wispy, texturized ends that create movement and prevent the heavy appearance that can occur with blunt cuts.
This technique adds softness to strong thickness.
Request your stylist to point-cut or razor the ends to remove bulk and create piece-y texture.
The wispy finish maintains length while dramatically improving manageability and movement.
Enhance the wispy effect with texturizing spray scrunched into dry ends for separation that makes thickness appear deliberate and stylish.
20: Structured Bob-Lob Hybrid
Create architectural precision with a structured cut that falls between a bob and lob.
