Morphology

thick-haired = thick + haired (transparent) = thick + hair + ed

The adjective is a clear compound of 'thick' + 'haired' (itself 'hair' + '-ed'), so the meaning is directly inferable from the parts.

Etymology

The word thick-haired comes from putting thick ('not thin') and hair together, so it literally means 'having a lot of hair'.
