A great haircut can make all the difference between just having hair and creating a look. But how much time and effort do you really need to invest?
Today I am going to share some easy tips to help you manage thick hair with less effort and more confidence. Whether or not you follow specific trends, I think among these styles are valuable takeaways that can be applied to any hair texture.
1. Thick Short Bob Haircut
We all know the feeling of wanting a fresh start, and this cut delivers exactly that.
If you are tired of carrying around heavy length—especially when the summer heat hits—this is the ideal switch-up.
The best part? It looks incredible with absolutely zero product, meaning you won’t have to spend hours on your daily routine.
2. Spiky Pixie Haircut
Sometimes, a little bit of mess is a good thing. This tousled pixie style embraces an untidy aesthetic that makes it insanely fun to wear.
It gives off a spirited vibe that feels effortless rather than unkempt.
3. Thick Shoulder Length Haircut
This cut gives you all the benefits of a lob without the commitment.
If you are someone who prefers a quick morning—think dab a little product, brush, and go—then this is a total winner.
It’s perfect for getting you out the door and back to business.
4. Textured and Messy Bob Haircut + Bangs
Let’s be real: time is money, and we don’t always have 30 minutes to style our hair.
This wash-and-go bob is a lifesaver that cuts your prep time down to three minutes flat.
Plus, the bangs frame the face beautifully, so the style stands on its own without needing a drop of cream.
5. Slicked Back Pixie Haircut
This look is essentially a bob, but brushing it back gives it that cool-girl pixie shape. I’d highly recommend this for anyone working with medium-thick hair.
Whether you choose to style it or just wash and go, the difference in appearance is minimal, making it a fool-proof choice.
6. Two Layered Shoulder-Length Haircut
You can never go wrong with layers; they are naturally classy and add so much character to the cut.
It’s a stellar low-maintenance option, but keep in mind that if you opt for color, you will have to keep up with that maintenance schedule.
7. Fine Bob Haircut
If you love keeping things short and sweet, this well-guided cut won’t eat up your time or your wallet.
The color gives off such a hot, balanced vibe. I love that this works for everyone—from younger ladies to older women rocking thick hair.
8. Chin-line Cut + Bangs
While blunt cuts and bangs usually require frequent trims (so they aren’t strictly low maintenance), stay with me on this one.
They create such a pleasant shape and illusion that you can easily get away with a wash-and-go routine.
9. Shoulder-length Lob Haircut
We’ve talked a lot about short styles, but what about the long-haired girls? Don’t worry, there are options for you too.
To keep costs and styling time down, ask for long layers that frame the face rather than blunt ends.
10. Textured Taper Fade Haircut
This textured taper fade offers a unique pixie shape. It is the ideal middle ground for hair that isn’t quite thick but certainly isn’t thin either.
If your texture falls somewhere in between, I’d highly suggest giving this one a try.
11. Shoulder Cuts + Bangs
This shoulder-length cut blends seamlessly with those smooth edge bangs.
Bonus points: A keratin treatment on this style can keep it looking pristine for months, which is a major win.
12. Tousled Texture Cut
Just like every other low-maintenance favorite, the routine here is simple: trim when grown and give it a quick brush in the morning.
It looks pretty good on just about anyone and has a knack for complementing your head and face shape.
13. Thick Afro Pixie Cut – Low Maintenance Haircut
This might just be the ultimate low-maintenance pixie for thick hair. Everything about the cut is level, except for the texture.
Once you have this, you can say goodbye to the curling iron and blow drying that usually eats up your time.
