If you want a less complex hairstyle and easier maintenance, short hair could be just the solution. A great cut will highlight your features while these stylish yet low maintenance short styles will keep things stylish and flattering.
Sleek Pixie Cut
A pixie cut is the ideal short hairstyle for girls who wish to appear modern and original. Its random layers give volume to thin locks while accentuating facial beauty; side bangs add additional framing effect. This cut looks stunning on wavy locks, giving each curl beautiful definition. It is also an ideal solution for women with big foreheads due to creating an even silhouette. For a romantic and carefree style, ask your stylist for heavier bangs. Creating a messy texture with salt spray or finger raking your tresses can give it an informal, effortless appearance suitable for any event or special occasion.
Bowl Cut
If you love pixie cuts but require less maintenance, consider opting for a classic bowl cut. This rounded hairstyle boasts short bangs and an understated frame around the face. Pair this look with bold hair color to make it stand out. To achieve a spiky look, work with your natural texture to get a messy yet sleek spiky finish. Some pomade may help bring out its shine as well! Leela suggests visiting your stylist every four weeks to maintain this low maintenance buzz cut like Amandla Stenberg does.
Bob
A classic low maintenance short hairstyle, the bob is ideal for those with straight hair. Simply slick back your locks using pomade or hairspray for a professional look. For an effortless casual style, side parting and sweeping back your bob can create a soft curtain bang style. This look flatters all ages and faces alike, and it can even be highlighted to stand out more. Make it even more daring with a shaggy pixie or add curls for a feminine style if desired. A blunt bob is another simple hairstyle suitable for all hair textures, particularly fine locks.
Natural Hair
Women with natural hair have several low maintenance short styles available that will still look chic and stunning without needing much styling product. Pixie cuts with fringes provide a youthful yet elegant look, and pomade can help add shine. Ruth Negga’s shoulder-length shag style looks easy to style while framing the face naturally and flatteringly. Classic bowl cuts can be worn longer on top for an edgier yet wearable appearance. Jumbo braids are great for those with natural curly hair, offering a protective style with minimal upkeep and no heat needed for maintenance. Embellished hair clips can add elegance, while finger coils offer another protective style with minimal upkeep and no heat needed for maintenance.
