"a thick, heavy fringe"

Question

What do you think is the most suitable way to ask for a "thick, heavy fringe" at the hairdresser's? (I think you say "bangs" in America).

I'm thinking "un flequillo poblado" might do the trick (although in Peru it's more common to hear "cerquillo" for "fringe", so we'd ask for "un cerquillo poblado").

Any other suggestions? Maybe incorporating "grueso"...? (Although that maybe implies the hair itself is "thick" in quality rather than the fringe.)

You mention both poblado and polbado - which do you mean? - pesta, Dec 22, 2010

Appologies for the typo - I mean "poblado". - amy_moreno, Dec 22, 2010

Answer 1

If you want a 'flequillo' like in that picture just go into any hairdressers in Spain and ask for the usual.

Answer 2

You already have the answer and, as you see, depending on where is the hairdresser from you will have to ´adjust´ your words.

un flequillo poblado would work fine in Argentina

However, to avoid a hairstyle catastrophe maybe you could have a picture at hand.

They will probably not cut it as you like, anyway

Answer 3

cerquillo fuerte (or con volumen if you want it really thick)
