Thick hair is both a blessing and a workout.
It looks full and luxurious, but it also has a mind of its own.
Too short, and it poofs up. Too long, and it weighs you down.
Medium-length haircuts are the sweet spot—long enough to show off your hair’s volume, short enough to keep things manageable.
The right cut makes styling easier, reduces bulk, and adds movement without looking heavy.
In 2025, textured layers, effortless waves, and natural color enhancements are taking center stage.
From sleek lobs to shaggy layers, there’s a perfect haircut for every texture and face shape.
