Current hair trends are leaning in a laidback direction, and we couldn’t be more excited about it. Instead of complicated cuts that require time and money spent on styling, this year’s hairstyles are all about natural ease. With fringy long bangs that don’t require work and natural textures sans heat tools in the forefront, shaggy cuts are having a moment. These styles are tousled to perfection. With low maintenance bangs and short layers, these ideas are as no-fuss as it gets. Whether you’re going for a long or short shaggy pixie, the look can work with any hair texture. And with little to no styling required, you won’t waste a second of summer fussing over hot tools.
