thick hair

Full, voluminous strands

Thick hair has a high density of individual strands, creating volume and fullness.

The phrase can also describe hair with a wide diameter per strand, giving it a coarse texture.

Someone with thick hair often struggles with styling products that can't penetrate it: My thick hair takes forever to dry.

The opposite is thin or fine hair.
