I don’t think most of us need to rush out and spend a fortune to feel put-together. In fact, for busy moms balancing work and home life, the best haircut is one that does the heavy lifting for you.
These days, it is all about comfort and ease for many of us, but we still want to look finished. So I’ve rounded up some effortless cuts that maintain the length and pattern you love but cut way down on the daily fuss.
1. Pineapple Hairstyle
This style likely isn’t new to you if you have curly hair since it is a total staple for protecting those curls at night.
But honestly, aside from just wearing it to bed, you can absolutely rock this look during the day too.
It is a basic hairstyle that is both simple and satisfying for a busy schedule.
2. Short Pixie
While short and blunt cuts don’t always make the cut for low maintenance lists due to upkeep, there are exceptions that clear all doubt hands down.
A perfect example is the pixie cut.
I won’t go into too much detail here, but if you are on a quest to go short, this is definitely a solid choice to consider.
3. Long Lob Haircut
The lob is another major time saver and works perfectly as a low maintenance option.
You will enjoy every moment of this style if you have long and healthy hair.
Also, try to steer clear of blunt ends with this one because avoiding them saves you time in ways you won’t even understand yet.
4. Buns Hairstyles
I am sure many of you will agree that buns are a total lifesaver when it comes to saving time no matter how you style them.
However, sometimes this look just doesn’t vibe with certain hair types.
I highly suggest you test it out first to see if it works for you before making it your go to.
5. Long Layered Haircut
When opting for a long layered cut, you want to keep in mind that minimal layers are key rather than a whole bunch.
Texture also plays a huge role here since it can make styling feel like a heavy burden.
Anyone with thick hair can attest to the fact that drying it can take a hell of a time some days.
I won’t get too detailed, but I humbly summarize that this cut will save you more time than you think.
6. Crown Braid
Wait, did you think you needed a stylist to pull off this crown braid look?
No ma’am.
You can absolutely do this yourself at home and save enough time to tackle your busy schedule.
7. Up-do/Down Do Hairstyle
This is by far one of the simplest hairstyles on my gallery for busy women.
It requires zero tools or products to pull together.
In some cases, you might just need a simple hairband to achieve this look.
8. Shag Haircuts
Next up on my gallery of low maintenance cuts is the shag.
I am sure it won’t come as a surprise that some styles look even better when they are a bit messy, and this is definitely one of them.
You can style it long or short depending on your personal preference.
9. Ponytail Hairstyle
Another style on my list is the ponytail. The only downside here is that it really only works for those with long hair.
You also have to learn how to do it perfectly before you can truly see the goodness in it.
For now, this is all I have, but I promise to update this whenever I come across a new and cool low maintenance cut.
