bushier
Thicker and wilder
Bushier is the comparative form of bushy, meaning more thick, spreading, or full.
Eyebrows can be bushier than average, a beard bushier after weeks without trimming, a shrub bushier than its neighbor: His hair had grown bushier over the summer.
The word applies to anything with dense, outward growth.
