How it's used
茂密 is primarily used to describe vegetation like trees, bushes, or grass that grows in a thick, crowded manner. While it can technically describe hair, it is far more common to use 濃密 for hair or eyebrows. It carries a slightly formal or descriptive tone, often appearing in written texts or when someone is admiring a natural landscape.
Examples
The trees here have grown very lush and dense.
Can you see that dense forest?

Common mistake
Avoid using 茂密 to describe crowded people or objects, as it is strictly reserved for plant life. For crowds, use 擠迫 or 密集 instead.
