8 Low-Maintenance Haircuts That Are Super Easy To Style

Every so often, you'll get a hankering for a completely new 'do, and there's nothing like a fresh haircut to give you that rush of endorphins. However, if you're not a styling wizard or you don't have a lot of time to get ready, a low-maintenance cut is what you need. Many think short hair is the way to go when it comes to a no-fuss look, and while bobs are super easy, there are plenty of longer styles that require minimal prep. You'll also want a cut that doesn't require a lot of trimming, saving you from those extra trips to the salon. While short pixies are pretty much wash-and-go, they demand a refresh every four to six weeks, so you may want to consider a bixie, which is more forgiving.

Whether you're a fan of long hair or like to keep your neck bare, there are plenty of options for those on the go. And, while it's nice to give yourself a fancy hairstyle once in a while, everyday primping shouldn't take more than a few minutes. With our roundup of breezy cuts, all you'll need is a blow-dryer, straightening iron, and a brush, along with some basic products like hairspray and smoothing serum. After all, time is precious, but that doesn't mean you can't step out with a fresh coiffure in a snap.

If you have super curly 4C hair, have your stylist round out the shape for a flattering cut. Adding in layers gives the coils extra body while showing off the gorgeous texture. Once you have the perfect shape for your face, which can include bangs if desired, you can just wash and blow dry with a diffuser using a scrunching method. Be sure to apply either a serum or mousse designed for curls beforehand.

For those with medium to long hair, the butterfly cut is the only voluminous style you need. The haircut, which has been trending for a few years, has gradual layers framing the face while also blending seamlessly into the rest of the hair. Although it looks high-maintenance, it's actually easy to style. Once dry, simply run your flat iron over your tresses using an inward rolling motion to show off those beautiful layers.

While there's nothing as classic as Audrey Hepburn's pixie, the longer version with eyelash-grazing bangs is just so cool. With a long pixie, the sides and back are cut short, and the crown and front are long enough to style however you want, which is very minimal. "The less you do, the better," stylist Ryan Wilkes told Elle. He suggested using texturizing spray followed by a cream to smooth the cuticles for a piecey, edgy finish.

The wolf cut was all the rage a few years back, with celebs like Miley Cyrus and Jenna Ortega rocking the new version of the shag. The 'do is comprised of short layers on top with longer ones hitting the shoulders, creating a mullet-like effect. Give yourself an updated and low-maintenance version with softer layers that blend together more. Since the wolf cut is supposed to be worn messy, tousle up your hair with some mousse and let it air dry for an easygoing look.

Bobs are great if you want minimal steps when it comes to managing your hair, but lobs are even better, as they allow you to wear your hair in a ponytail during the summer months. One of the most flattering long bob haircuts is having the ends cut bluntly, especially if you have straight and fine hair, as it gives the illusion of thickness. For added volume, give yourself a deep side part for that cool-girl aesthetic.

Long hair may require more management in terms of shampooing and conditioning, but once that part is done, you can blow-dry it for a carefree, tousled 'do. Or, if you're headed to bed, skip the drying and give yourself a large braid. When you wake up, simply undo your hair and you'll be left with beachy, mermaid-like tresses.

Pageboy haircuts used to be hot in the '60s and '70s — now they're back and trendier than ever. This style is classified by the rounded ends that fall just at the nape of the neck, maintaining wide versatility as it can be worn with all hair types. "The best thing about this haircut is you could do a smooth, sleek blowout or you could rock your natural texture as well," Sheila Guillermo shared with InStyle. Try yours with bangs for a feminine twist a la Princess Diana.

Not everyone's face is suited for fringe, but curtain bangs are universally flattering. They're great for any face shape, and you can cut them as short or long as you like. Styling curtain bangs is a breeze, and you can either let them air dry or use a blow dryer with a brush attachment to give them some volume. You also don't need to trim them as often as shorter bangs, which makes this style a winner in our books.
