Not a professional but have been cutting my own hair, and my kids hair for a couple of decades.
Really thick hair takes different clippers to cut effectively. You want sharp blades with longer tines and more power on the clippers. Without the right setup, the blades get clogged up really fast and don't cut. It's annoying as hell.
I have finer hair and my wife has extremely thick hair.
My son with fine hair is extremely easy to cut. The clippers go through it like butter. Really quick and easy to do. No water needed just a quick comb and cut. Minor mistakes just disappear.
My son with thick hair is much more difficult. It has to be wet or the clippers and scissors can't cut it well. It's still slow going and any little mistake shows.
