When humidity strikes, spending hours styling frizzy hair seems futile. The harsh truth is, you can’t banish buhaghag, especially if you have naturally curly hair. But don’t lose hope! With the right style, your weather-dependent hair can work for you, not against you. If you want more manageable locks, take note of these haircuts for frizzy hair for your next salon appointment.
Tousled Pixie Cut
Styling frizzy, thick, wavy hair can get easier with a pixie cut, one of the cute short haircuts for thick hair. It’s the quintessential roll-out-of-bed-with-perfect-hair that will earn you many compliments. The hair on the back is shorter than the front, giving you more volume at the top. Plus, the layers help reduce the heaviness of the strands. And the super short ‘do is not just low-maintenance — it also frames your face in all the right places. It’s serving sharp cheekbones for days!
There are many variations to pixie cuts, from romantic to edgy. You can leave some length in the front and the sides to soften the look a la Florence Pugh. But if you want more ‘tude, ask for tapered sides.
Classic French Bob
Here’s one haircut that puts frizzy, poofy hair to good use: the French bob. The volume makes the shape très chic and less like a helmet. But what makes this bob French? The traditional style is cut right along the mouthline (sometimes above it), which bares your jawline in all its glory. To make it more modern, many opt to pair it with blunt bangs and striking red lipstick.
The main attraction of this retro look is its undone texture. So, you don’t need much to style the bob. In fact, you can apply TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shine Serum on damp hair and let it air dry. The marula oil and keratin in this hair serum seal the moisture and shine in the cuticles, leaving your tresses smooth, glossy, and bouncy.
Choppy Lob
Save your short frizzy hair by playing with textures. Whether you have thick or thin hair, the choppy long bob (or the chob) can make your strands more well-behaved. It’s unique because the ends are jagged, giving you a messy-but-cute appearance. If you’ve been sporting long hair for most of your life, the lob also makes your transition to a shorter look easier.
For women with big curly hair, ask your stylist to dry-cut the strands. This technique will help them create the layers accurately and allow you to see the finished look before styling. Use a diffuser to keep your hair in shape and point it downward for a sleek effect. Want an edgy look? Try gray hair highlights!
Medium-Length Shag
Want a toned-down version of the wolf cut? The shag is one of the most popular haircuts for frizzy hair, and we’re here for it. A long list of celebs has stayed loyal to the shaggy hair, like Taylor Swift and Kaia Gerber to name a few. It’s effortless, versatile, and never goes out of style.
With this haircut, flyaways are forgiven because they add to the rock ‘n roll vibe. And let’s not forget about the bangs. The modern take on the shag lies around the hairline. You can dial down the layers but go bold with the fringe of your choice. Try curtain bangs to give this style a more sophisticated look while retaining your hair's thickness and density.
Long with Feathered Layers
In case you haven't guessed by now, most haircuts for thick, frizzy hair rely on layers. Cutting the hair at different angles removes the bulkiness and liberates your strands to stick out however it wants. If you don't want to sacrifice any length, get the feathered hairstyle or the butterfly cut in Gen-Z term. Think of it as the lovechild between the 70’s Fawcett Flip and the 90’s Rachel cut. The shortest part of the hair should fall across the chin, followed by the longer layers cascading below it.
Heavy layers can make your coarse hair more manageable. However, they also thin out your strands, leading to breakage and split ends. Level up your haircare game by doing a weekly hair spa at home with TRESemmé Keratin Smooth KERA10 Smoothing Mask. It's made with KERA10 Protein Complex that penetrates hair 10 layers deep to strengthen, soften, detangle, and protect your locks. Bonus: it keeps frizz on the low, too!
You should be free to flaunt your natural hair without the pressure to "fix" it. These haircuts for frizzy hair prove you can use the texture to your advantage.
