If you can’t maintain your cut at home yourself, it’s probably too high-maintenance.
Speedy Solution
A good (that is, easy to style) haircut is a matter of engineering: The key is to work with the texture of your hair.
If it’s fine and straight, consider a blunt chin- to shoulder-length bob; the hair will fall in sheets that stack up, building volume.
Thicker straight hair works best with graduated layers that are shortest at the shoulder and taper down the back, which gives hair movement, so
it doesn’t just hang there. If it’s
fine but wavier, go for a shoulder-length or shorter layered look (think shaggy). The layers build body, and you won’t constantly be struggling
to make your hair hang straight, as you would with a precise bob. And if your hair is
thick and wavy,
“you’ll look great with a one-length, at-the-shoulder or longer bob
that flaunts your curl and has some weight, so it won’t
get puffy,” says Ted Gibson, the
owner-stylist of the Ted Gibson salons, in New York City and Fort Lauder dale. Another rule
of thumb: “Use the weight of your hair and
its natural texture to your advantage,” says Becquerel. In other words,
when it
comes to minimizing styling time, if you
have heavier and thicker hair, you may want to wear it longer so that
gravity will
help keep it in place.
