Thick + Straight

The challenge is getting a really smooth finish.
A style that's layered, like a graduated bob or pageboy, will keep your face from getting swallowed up by the weight; bangs also help.

When you get out of the shower, rub in a mix of leave-in conditioner and frizz-fighting gloss or cream for sheen.

If you do blowdry, use a flat or oval styling brush; avoid the ones designed to add curl.

Wash your hair every three or four days. You will get great texture this way.

Focus on shine. "Coarse hair has natural body," notes Ray Symons, stylist for New York's Cutler salon. "What you want to do is weigh your hair down and play up the shine. If you overstyle, you'll end up with a stiff wedge cut, which can be a little scary."
