Thick hair tends to tangle more easily but manages to hold curls and volume for longer.

It depends on your hair’s density and hair strands' thickness, according toPhilip Kinglsey’s hair guide.

Density means how many hair strands are on your head.

If you don’t have a lot of hair, you have “thin hair.”

Meanwhile, “fine” hair refers to the texture and diameter of those individual strands.

Contrary to the traditional one-length cut, this layered look adds shape that translates into volume.

For everyday maintenance, be sparse with shampoo.

In other words, you have lots of strands of hair that are small in diameter.

Each of these qualities can affect what styles might work best for you.

You could probably bear not washing your hair as often.
