Very Short Hairstyles for Thick Hair

Cropped With Bangs

• A cropped hairstyle is a stylish cut for very short, thick hair. The back of the hair is cropped close to the neck, about as short as a man's, while the front strands are left long. The front strands can be styled to sweep across the forehead to the left or right and keep the overall look feminine, despite its shortness. For thick hair, the longer strands need only be about 2 to 3 inches in length.
  
  After washing your hair, blow-dry the bangs with a round brush, and piece them into choppy strands using styling gel, mousse or pomade.
  
  

Faux Hawk

• A faux hawk is a trendy, fun style for short, thick hair. The ends are cropped short, but extra inches are left at the top of the head. The longer strands are pushed toward the crown of the head with a small comb and styled into a small triangle or pyramid shape using gel or mousse.
  
  This is a hairstyle with an edge that is beloved by younger people who desire a funky, sexy look. It's a variation on the Mohawk, without being as dramatic. It can be worn by both men and women, and was worn by soccer star David Beckham.
  
  

The Gamine

• The gamine hairstyle, also known as "the Chop," is a short, lightly layered haircut perfect for people with thick hair, who want to lighten the heaviness of their strands. The cut is extremely short at the nape of the neck, almost like a buzz cut, and slightly longer in the front. The layers are wispy and can be brushed back or pulled forward, depending on the desired look. This cut is characterized by a deep side part that is at least two inches from the natural center part. A basic washing and brushing are enough to maintain this look day after day.
