How it's used
Focuses specifically on the density or abundance of hair and foliage. While it describes physical thickness, it is rarely used for abstract concepts like a thick atmosphere or a dense crowd, where other descriptors are preferred.
Examples
His hair was very thick when he was a child.
The leaves here have grown very dense.
