Being blessed with thick tresses is like winning the genetic lottery.

For more easy-going bangs, thick hair also accommodates long, side-sweeping bangs or piecey and layered bangs.
Short haircuts are lower-maintenance for thick hair, which can be more challenging to style or wear up.
For longer hairstyles, bangs and layers will help lighten your locks.
