Glamorous Hollywood Waves

There’s a reason why Hollywood waves are known as the epitome of vintage sophistication — they’re downright stunning. Touted as one of the most elegant looks to wear, you can’t go wrong styling your longer locks into luscious waves such as these.
#14. High Crown Beehive

It’s OK to take a step back in time — especially if it means you’ll be recreating an old-time classic! The beehive is a great look for any high-class event. And, because you have thicker strands, you won’t have to worry about this look appearing lifeless. Grab your bobby pins and hairspray, and get to work!
#15. Tapered A-Line Bob

An A-line cut personifies a contemporary attitude, but it can be a little too harsh for those with thick locks. If you want to go the a-line route, you should soften it up a bit by going with a tapered style. It looks flawless!
#16. Tight Ringlet Curls

If you have naturally thick hair that’s riddled with curls, we can’t beg you enough to let your natural texture run free! Our number one recommendation is to take good care of your curls and use products to enhance every ringlet.
#17. Half-Up Half-Down Bun

Wearing all your hair up or down can be overwhelming; there’s just so much hair to deal with! That’s why the half-up, half-down bun hairstyle is superb for thick-haired ladies. It’s cute and stylish and takes the weight off your mane. It’s a win!
#18. Razored Pixie with Long Bangs

Playing with different lengths in a pixie cut is always a smart move. The contrasting strands will immediately give your look a playful attitude, while the shorter style will let your facial features be the focal point.
#19. Slicked-Back Pompadour

A slicked-back pompadour says I’m classy, but I’ve got a little bit of a rockstar hiding inside my veins. Well, women over 50 — if this sounds anything like you, show off this look at your next event. Up the drama by tossing in some bright red elements!
#20. Zigzag-Parted Layers

Breaking up your parting can be a simple way to ensure your thick hair doesn’t look too full and boring. All you have to do is use a hair tool (such as the end of a comb) to split your part in a fun new way. It’s unique and adds a fun flare to your hair!
#21. Straight Cut with Blunt Bangs

For those craving to look like a posh diva, this one’s for you. This modern style showcases a straight cut dangling right above the shoulders. It finishes with a set of daring straight-cut bangs. This style is reserved for those who dream of being on the cover of Vogue magazine.
#22. Voluminous French Twist

Thick locks look oh-so-gorgeous when fashioned into a French twist. There’s plenty of gorgeous bulk to bring the look together flawlessly. Pair this timeless style with your finest attire for any upcoming occasion, and rest assured, you’ll have all eyes on you.
#23. Coiled Low Bun

Low buns have a reputation for being simple and elegant. That’s great and all, but it’s time to take this classic look to the next level. All you need to do is fashion your thick hair into curls before securing your low bun. Such a snazzy and lively finish!
