To burst the bubble of those who think that people with thick hair are blessed, let us tell you that with thick hair also comes a raft of problems, e.g., dryness, frizz, and the inability of hair ties to hold the hair.

Summers and exhausting work routines make the situation worse. In such a scenario, it is only natural to despise your thick hair and want it cut short. If you’re struggling with these issues, too, here are a lot of simple and cool pixie haircuts to tame your thick hair.

Pixie Haircuts

A pixie cut is a variant of a crop cut. This hairstyle is generally short on the back and sides of the head and comparatively longer on the top with small bangs. It’s a versatile cut with reasonably low maintenance.
