Whichever hair type we are born with, we always want the opposite, from straight to curly, and thick to thin. If you have thick hair and are finding it difficult to style, you may want to ask your barber to thin it out. Thinning out hair is a great option as it doesn’t affect the length of your hair it just reduces the thickness, making it look less clumpy.

The most important thing to remember when getting your hair thinned out by a barber is their experience in this technique. Some inexperienced barbers may struggle with this technique and take large sections from your hair, not what anyone wants.

Styling thick hair may need products such as wax to help mould the strands into position, avoiding them sticking up and out of place. If you are finding styling a challenge, then you should also ask your barber for tips on the best way to achieve the look you want at home.
