Using professional shampoo and conditioner that was made for low maintenance styles will help you get a look that requires as little work as possible.

Get to Know Your Texture – Understanding your hair’s texture will greatly help you identify the products you need to keep your hair looking amazing without styling. Using products that were made for your hair type will also boost hair health!
Consult Your Stylist – If you’re unsure about your hair’s texture or the products you should be using, you can always ask your stylist for recommendations. Your stylist can also provide suggestions based on the cut and style they give you.
Take Inventory and Note What Works – If you’re using a salon conditioner that you love, take note of the effects it has on your hair. If it makes it easier to style your hair on the go or it makes it look and feel healthier, these are all great attributes of wash-and-go products.

Long Layers
For those with longer locks, you can ensure your hair has dimension by asking for layers at your next haircut. Long layers — no matter your texture — will give your hair a naturally swooshy look that doesn’t require much styling. We suggest applying a small amount of hair oil to your ends to keep frizz at bay.
Tapered
For curly hair, a tapered cut will give you a style that allows you to wash, apply products and go while still looking fabulous.
Shoulder Length Bob
If you’re looking for a low maintenance style that may just take a tousle before you walk out the door, try a bob. These styles are effortlessly cute and easy to maintain, especially if you have naturally wavy or curly hair. De-frizzing products and serums are going to be key for keeping this style looking polished.
Ultra Short Pixie Cut
If you want a style that makes a statement but doesn’t require a lot of styling or product, try an ultra-short pixie cut. You can spice this style up by choosing a bold color or by going platinum blonde. This style is great because you can apply texturizer or gel and be done with it.
Similar to long layers, feathered layers and cuts give your hair double the dimension and also allow you to make ponytails, half up half down and bun styles stylishly messy.
Low Bob
If a bob isn’t your speed, try a low bob which will give you a blunt cut that has a longer length and doesn’t require much styling.
Shaggy Mullet
While a mullet may not sound like something you’d ask for when you see your stylist, this is a trendy look that is actually quite flattering on many, and it’s also a great style.
Curtain Bangs
If you want bangs, but don’t love the high maintenance aspect of them, try curtain bangs. These longer bangs don’t require much styling, but still give you an effortlessly chic look.

A-Line Bob
Are you looking for a short style that’s easy to maintain, but also gives you a bold look? Try the A-line bob! You can have a style that’s shorter or longer, but the ability to have a bold side part makes your hair versatile and cute.
Shoulder Length Shag
If you’re a fan of the shaggy look, but you want a longer look, a shaggy cut will help you pull off that chic bedhead!
You’re ready to roll with a hairstyle that won’t ever let you down — regardless of how much styling you do!
