Thick hair is a blessing, but it can feel like a full-time job.
Too much weight? It falls flat. Too many layers? It turns into a triangle.
Medium-length cuts strike the perfect balance, keeping things light without losing the volume.
The right haircut makes styling easier, enhances texture, and brings out natural movement.
2025 is all about effortless layers, modern shapes, and colors that highlight dimension.
From soft feathered layers to sleek blunt cuts, there’s a style for every hair type and vibe.
