Thick Hair
Posted by Clint Perry on July 22, 2003 at 01:19:23: Previous Next
I've got thick hair and I want to grow it out. But I am not sure how it will look when grown out. Can guys with thick hair grow their hair out and it still look good? Right now the top of my hair is growing and and I am cutting the sides. When the top gets long enough and falls down over the sides, I will then let the sides grow out. Is this the right approach or should I be doing this a different way? This may should stupid but is there anyway to make your hair less thick? I need some answers.

I have extremely think hair and curly/frizzy. Right now it has been 11 months since I cut my hair (apart for two trims around the ears and back three and six months in). Right now... I have a huge afro! Seriously, the white man afro. I get various comments and looks from people. I gel it down but you can't always have the "perfect" look. I am going to give it a shot until at least I can grab my hair in a ponytail.
It's doable but twice as hard... buy gels, bandanas
By the way don't cut the sides! That looks weird and when you do have the top in a ponytail you will have to wait for the rest to grow... it's a waste... stick it through is my suggestion.
No idea on how to make hair less thick... I have heard different things... layering etc... but i don't want to try anything until my hair is longER... any mistake now and it's back to the beginning...

agreed. i too have the white mans afro. I think thick hair is DOUBLY hard to grow out, then fine/straight hair. Haha. I laughed at your post cause even with ALL my gel, if my hair ever dries out, WATCH OUT! *70's Shaft music* But the advantadge us thick hairs have is it looks awesome long! But our hair doesn't grow down, it grows UP, and looks clowny.) I have curly thick hair, so the pains are worth the rewards.....though i can barely contain it under my hat if i don't gel the whole mess down first. *Jude wonders who invented gel. sacrifices a small animal to the gel-gods*
