Reddit reviews Goody Black Roller Pins, 3 inches 18 ea (Pack of 6)

Yes, there are extra large bobby pins for people like me with super thick hair. These are not my favorite brand, but they exist.

I am not a stylist, but I've had long, very thick hair for most of my life. First question - are you washing it every day? Depending on the texture (and I'm guessing yours is on the very thick, medium/coarse side), you can get away with not washing it for up to a week. Not only is this a time saver - it can actually be much healthier for thick hair. I usually wash/condition mine every 6 days, and it looks fine even without any dry shampoo in between.

Second, are you using, or can you spend the money on a removable showerhead, or at least one with adjustable settings? It's a ton easier to rinse out shampoo and conditioner with one of these, plus you can get better water pressure by playing with the settings, which makes everything go much faster.

In terms of styling, invest in extra large bobby pins for buns, like these, smaller alligator clips, and thick hair ties that will keep your hair up all day. If you want an easy, long hairstyle, try putting your hair in two twist buns at night (you'll have to play with the positioning a little so you can still sleep without having them dig into the sides of your head), and take them down in the morning for loose, natural-looking waves. This doesn't always come out perfectly every time, but for a 4-minute time investment, it works pretty well.

If this doesn't work for you, maybe even just cutting a few inches off will help? It wouldn't be very noticable to other people, if your hair is that long to begin with, but sometimes even cutting off a little bit of length can make a world of difference.

Hope this helps!
