17 Haircuts for Men with Thick Hair

By Rich Krafting

Updated:

When thick hair becomes too much of a good thing it’s time for a new look. These haircuts for men with thick hair are stylish and easy to style.

From trendy crops to classic pompadours and hipster slick styles, there are plenty of different looks to choose from. Go for short hair and a fade for minimal effort or wear hair longer with a taper for maximum height.

Most of these cool hairstyles can be styled with the same method. Work pomade through damp hair. Then let hair air dry or blast it with a blow dryer for more hold and volume. This year’s textured trend benefits from styling with fingers.

Check out these pictures for 17 cool haircuts for men with thick hair.
