For roofing material, use 茅 (kaya) or 藁 (wara). For a hairstyle, use サッチ (sacchi) or describe it. For a verb meaning to cover with thatch, use 葺く (fuku).
Straw, reeds, or similar plant material used for roofing.
General term for thatch, especially miscanthus reed used in traditional roofing.
A hairstyle with a fringe or thick hair covering the forehead, similar to a thatched roof.
Loanword from English 'thatch', used in fashion contexts for a specific hairstyle.

To cover a roof with thatch.
Verb meaning to roof or thatch. Often used with 茅 or 藁.
The hairstyle 'thatch' is not commonly known in Japanese. Using 茅 or 藁 for hair would be confusing. Use サッチ or describe it.

The roof of this house is thatched with kaya.
Straw, often used for thatching or as a material in traditional contexts.

Grass or weeds; can refer to thatch in some contexts, but less specific.

Since 'thatch' as a hairstyle is not widely known, you can describe it as 前髪を厚く垂らした髪型 (a hairstyle with thick bangs hanging down).
前髪を厚く垂らした髪型が流行っている。
A hairstyle with thick, hanging bangs is in fashion.
The craftsman is thatching the roof with kaya.
Phrase meaning 'to make into a thatched roof' or 'to thatch'.
