15 ELEGANT HAIRSTYLES FOR THICK HAIR

Various factors like ageing, environment, and stress level can cause your thick hair to fall out.

Avoid washing your hair every day; at least wash your hair 2 to 3 times a week because our scalps produce natural oils that coat our hair and protect it from outside damage and if you wash your hair every day then these oils will also be washed away making your hair to become weaker and dry over time.

Try not to use chemical based hair shampoo and conditioner; you should use organic hair products or products made from natural oils like ‘Natures Gate Herbal Daily Cleansing Shampoo – 32 oz’ which is a Herbal Shampoo that gently cleanses your hair and contains a perfect blend of herbs and botanicals
You should treat your hair gently to decrease hair loss; always remember to use a wide-toothed comb instead of a brush, and please work out the tangles with care, rather than just pulling them through your hair.
Try not to use heat styling tools; but you should use blow dryers, straight irons, and curling irons sparingly. Overusing heated hair appliances causes your hair to become dry and brittle, making it fall out much more easily.

Curly hair can be good for those of you who like stylish hairstyles.

Use a shampoo and conditioner pair made to wash curly hair; this will to help reduce frizz and also add shine to your hair.
Don’t brush you hair if you want tamer curly hair; when you brush naturally curly hair, the brush will split apart those curls and turn them into individual hair strands. If you take a shower remember to let your hair air dry without brushing it because this will help your curls to stay compact and less frizzy.
Use a curling iron to fix up a few curls in case you have natural curly hair; when you that there’s one curl that isn’t following directions, just use your curling iron and fix it. But, you should remember that heat is very damaging to curly hair and it is advisable for you to always use a heat protectant.
Use a gel or mousse if you want more defined curls; after you have washed hair it is damp, apply a dab of gel or mousse in the palm of your hand and then scrunch the ends of your hair and slowly moving up while applying this gel mousse. Never buy a gel or mousse that dries hard and crunchy because this will make your hair look fake and gross and also makes flakes in the hair.
Apply Layers in order to bring the curls out in your hair; you must make sure that the layering doesn’t have to be so intense and you should that the longer the hair is, the more layers you should add.

This hairstyle works for you in case you have an oval and square face because it flatters and matches your face very well. However, this style will make wonders for those with thick and thin hair.

Avoid washing your hair every day; some you thick that it’s a good practice to wash your daily but you’re actually stripping it of its natural oils resulting in it being dry and frizzy. You should wash it at least three times week but not daily.
