Does anyone have any tips on how to style VERY VERY thick hair beautifully, easily, and painlessly?

i have very thick hair and it is very hard to style without pulling it, or tangling it. i get so frustrated that i just pull it back in a normal, plain ponytail, even for formal occasions. what should i do? HELP!

haha. i have that thick hair problem too. i think what might help is to make it thinner (is that the term?). a barber can help with that. i think it's like cutting hair you wouldnt normally see really short so that when you tie it back, the long hairs that remain makes it looks as if you havent got so much hair. cant remember what it's called but have you tried a half pony tail? the type where you do to top of your hair and leave the bottom hanging loose around your shoulders. or dog ears. which are like the half ponytail but split in half left and right.

if worse comes to worse, leave it down and hairspray.

if you have any natural wave, then wet your hair, (put it in a wet bun if it doesnt have much wave), then use a gel to scrunch your hair, it actually looks really good.

I have thick hair, theres loads of hair styles you can do which look really nice. You can just strighten it and leave it down (might take a while depending on the length of hair), you couls curl it, do a quiff , or my fav is leave half your hair up and leave the rest down :)

i have the same exact hair as you. what i do is straighten my hair, then your options are open. you should also try to get your hair thinned out every once in awhile. i also suggest going to a stylist and asking them what are the simplest but cute haristyles you can do with your type of hair.
