- Longer lengths are great for coarse and frizzy hair because it weighs hair down and keeps it from going all over the place. Those with rough hair should try and maintain length and avoid cutting it any shorter than just below the shoulders. However, to avoid hair that is too weighed down and difficult to style, avoid growing hair any longer than past your shoulder blades. Super long hair can make your look one-dimensional, so keep it at a reasonable length.
- Thick, rough hair and bangs do not agree with each other. Short bangs on coarse hair can get very frizzy making you look frazzled and unkempt. Those who crave bangs should stick with side-swept bangs, which is an easy way to add more style options to your hair.
- Layers are great for most hair types, but especially for thick, coarse hair. Layers will add some wanted shape to bulky hair. They are also great for framing your face and accentuating cheekbones. Depending on your face shape, your stylist will be able to gauge the best length to make your layers complement your look.
- Long hair is good because options for styling it are endless. Most thick coarse hair has some wave to it, so accentuate your waves by applying a gel to wet hair and allowing it to air dry. This will increase wave, while decreasing frizziness. To elongate and showcase length, try straightening your hair and applying a shine serum for vibrancy. With long coarse hair the best styling products to use are ones that will tame frizz. Styling pomade is also great because it will help separate strands and accentuate layers. Avoid styling with volumizing products, as coarse hair already has enough thickness.
- The best way to maintain a hairstyle is to constantly take good care of your long locks. Trim them regularly and avoid using heat appliances whenever possible. Always use a protective spray if you must use a heat appliance. Also, use a deep conditioner once a week to revitalize tired locks.
