The Best Haircuts for Low Maintenance
It feels so great to get a fresh haircut! If you’re like us, you love leaving the salon with a great, updated look. A great haircut can do wonders to boost your confidence. Unfortunately, you may find after you wash and style your hair on your own that your fantastic new cut doesn’t look as good without someone else doing the styling.
Fortunately, there are hundreds of wash–and–go haircuts out there that suit any lifestyle and client. Consider these tips before you book your next appointment.
Know Your Face Shape and Hair Type
You want a haircut that will bring out the best of your hair, but haircuts are not one–size–fits–all. The same cut will look different on different people. You need to know your face shape and hair type to understand better how a haircut will look. You can ask your helpful Cutting Crew Hair Salon stylist for help knowing which face shape and hair type you have or do some research before your appointment. Once you’ve identified your face shape and hair type, look up cuts that will be flattering to your face and work with your hair.
Think About Maintenance
If you are someone who wants to be able to roll out of bed and head out the door, a cut that requires much styling isn’t for you. Some cuts are easy to style daily but require frequent salon visits to upkeep the look. Think about how much effort you want to put into styling your hair every day or how often you can visit the salon when choosing a haircut.
The Magic of Layers
Layered cuts can create a shape that looks good for anyone and work with most hair types.
Thick Hair
Try some longer, tiered layers to flatter your face or a shorter, choppy bob for thick hair. Thick hair can take a long time to dry and style, but layered cuts add movement, help create shape, and take off bulk that adds more work for you, no matter what face shape you have.
Thin Hair
Layers work well for thin hair too. Strategic layers can help create volume. Consider the ever–popular lob as an example. This shoulder–length cut is a breeze to style with a bit of mousse. You can also try out a blunt bob or shag cut, with layers catered to your sense of style. Or take things back to the 90s with an updated Rachel (that’s right, it’s still a great look!)! If you’ve got curly or textured hair, talk to your stylist about how to set off those curls with a long, layered cut, an angular lob, or a mid–length U–cut.
For Short Hair
If you favor a short haircut, remember that the haircuts that require the least care are those without intricate fades. Intricate fades look fantastic, but you'll need to be back in the salon fairly regularly to keep the look. If you're looking for something fast and easy, stick with buzz and crew cuts or longer layered hair. Slightly longer haircuts like a pixie cut still don't have to require much work. A trip to the salon every eight weeks or so to take care of split ends can keep your hair looking great. Add a bit of pomade or mousse to give your hair a bit of texture, and you can be on your way. If you want to keep your hair even shorter, the classic buzz cut offers the least amount of daily upkeep requirements. You can also talk to your stylist about other low–maintenance trends, including spiked hair with shorter sides, the French crop or the low fade.
