Thick hair types
Thick hair types Endless amounts of hair that takes forever to dry can be overwhelming. Lopez has a couple of tricks. "Same principles apply as fine hair: gently detangle your hair, rough dry it with your hands and then smooth it out. Section your hair into two ponytails, then split each ponytail into two so it creates quadrants and secure these sections. Using a smaller barrel curling iron — 1 to 1 1/4 inch (or a larger barrel if you want bigger, looser bend) — split each quadrant into three sections and work on each smaller section at a time starting at the front on one side. Just flip the ends in, give it some bend and it will look like you gave yourself a blowout. Sectioning is key so you don't get overwhelmed." Also, when it comes to haircuts, Lopez says that thick hair needs some kind of movement to it. "Even if you want one-length hair, just go for some soft, face-framing layers near the ends so it doesn't feel too blocky and heavy."
