Low-Maintenance Haircuts for Stylish Southern Mamas

Best for: Thin hair

Ask for a more blunt cut because that’ll make your ends look naturally thicker, which is the best trick for thinner hair. A blunt long bob is fresh, easy to style, and looks very stylish.

Thin hair is easiest if you don’t try to make it something it’s not—that takes too much work. By going with a simple one-length cut, you’re cutting time out of styling and going with a chic alternative.

Best for: Thick hair

While it might not be fair to everyone else, thick hair is more versatile than other hair types because of its sheer body. But, if not cut correctly, it can look heavy. That’s why a lot of layers, especially face-framing layers, are perfect for thicker hair types. If you’re not ready to go super short, just bring it up near your collarbone and get plenty of layers.

Best for: Curly hair

Curly hair can be a little tricky if you want to go short and still be low maintenance; but if you’re going for a bob, try framing your face by going a little longer in the front than the back.

If you want to keep your curly hair at least mid-length (it might be easier to style that way), then make sure not to skimp on the layers. It will help the hair make its own body and movement, especially with the help of good products.

Best for: Straight hair

Side-swept bangs with a bob are incredibly cute with straight hair. It adds interest and looks very put together, with the low maintenance of a short cut.

Best for: Straight hair

Straight hair gets a bad rep from people who have it, but it can be so low maintenance and stylish if embraced. If you want to do a medium-length cut, just keep very minimal, long layers. You don’t need anything too drastic, and it would just make styling that much more intensive.

Best for: Wavy hair

Wavy hair works well for a pixie because it will still have the look of movement and life, despite the ultra-short length. If you’re going that short, you might as well give it some good tousle to keep things interesting.

The lob seems to be THE cut of the past few years, but you can also think of this cut as similar to a classic shag cut. The biggest thing to pay attention to is face-framing when getting it. It’s super flattering and not as high maintenance as bangs.

Best for: Wavy hair

A shoulder-length cut looks great on wavy hair because it has its own movement, but layers are important here to keep it from looking stale. It’s a good idea to get shorter and longer length layers for good wave, focusing the short layers around the face.
