5 Flattering Summer Haircuts To Try If You Have A Lot Of Hair

Most people would consider a full head of thick hair a blessing, but figuring out what to do with all of it is an issue that plagues this lucky bunch — especially in the heavy heat of summer.

Removing bulk during an appointment is key, whether you head into the salon for a subtle trim, major chop, or just new fringe.
