Haircuts are not one size fits all, which is the beautiful thing about them. As we continue to see individualized haircuts taking shape, we’re also seeing a return to effortless, low-key hairstyling. To complement this, you’ll need a relatively low-maintenance haircut for your hair type. While a bob might be a lot of upkeep for one, it could be quick and easy for another. Take a peek at a few of the season's favorite low-maintenance haircut inspirations to see if there’s a fit for your hair type.
The Bob
Pick from the airy bob, a stacked bob, the boy bob or a fringed bob based on your face shape. With a blunt line, this cut has the ability to instantly add body to straight, fine or thin hair. For low-maintenance upkeep, style this cut straight.
