  intro: "Thick hair comes with a reputation for being maintenance-heavy — and it is. But the difficulty is often misdiagnosed. Most people with thick hair are fighting the wrong enemy: they're trying to remove volume when they should be managing bulk. They're spending forty minutes trying to flatten what wants to be full. The work is to stop fighting the structure and start directing it. Below is everything we've published on how to do that — from wash-day efficiency to styling technique to the long, slow argument about whether you need to deep condition weekly (you probably do).",

    h: "What 'thick hair' actually means",
    body: "Thick hair refers to the diameter of each strand — strands that measure above 80 microns. (High density means many strands; thick means wide strands. You can have both, or just one.) Thick strands hold heat longer, resist styling longer, absorb products more slowly, and frizz more aggressively in humidity. The cuticle of a thick strand has more layers, which makes it both more resilient to damage and more prone to puffing up when moisture enters the hair shaft from outside.",
  },
  myths: [
    { m: "Thick hair doesn't need as much moisture — it's already strong.",
      t: "Thick hair dries from the inside out — the cuticle layers resist moisture entering the shaft just as they resist moisture leaving. Many thick-haired people are chronically dry." },
    { m: "The more you thin it out, the easier it is to manage.",
      t: "Aggressive thinning shears create frizz by disrupting the cuticle pattern. Bulk removal from layering is smarter. Remove length, not texture." },
    { m: "A heavy conditioner is always better for thick hair.",
      t: "Weight is useful for combating frizz but it suppresses movement. The goal is enough moisture to close the cuticle, not so much that the hair becomes a mass of product." },
