Low maintenance short haircuts? | Abingdon | Didcot | Wantage | Oxfordshire

The Lob: Low maintenance haircuts doesn’t automatically mean uninspiring nor lacking in style. Actually most short haircuts can be tailored to suit your needs and whilst there are some exceptions, many short haircuts can be worked to your style. As a rule of thumb, one of the easiest means to manage maintenance is a lob without any layers (essentially a one-length haircut). These sorts of appointments can work with straight or fine hair, however for volume whilst this can increase the maintenance, it can present the illusion of thicker hair so there is a trade off.

Curly Hair/Soft Layers: For clients with curly hair, soft layers look great, they’re easy to maintain and they look beautiful! What’s not to love? Many people with curly hair have quite a structured/triangular look and well cut layers (a curly specific haircut) with layers can really support your curls and help them to sit more naturally.

Shag: The shag haircut is an underutilised haircut but an all-time classic. Think heavy layers with differing lengths and lots of movement. This cut is full of character, doesn’t require lots of styling/blow drying and the messy look means that you can wear it in more than one way.

Italian Bob: The Italian Bob isn’t a well known term and given its lesser known reference, the Italian Bob is jaw-length with a strong  shape and sometimes subtle layering. This haircut would typically appeal if you want something simple yet elegant.

Boyfriend Bob: The Boyfriend Bob is marmite. You will either love this or hate it. This cut sits slightly longer and has a lived-in and relaxed vibe. It typically appeals to those that don’t want a huge fuss every morning.

Hush Cut: The Hush Cut is another that isn’t well known (Google it for inspiration!). This cut features soft, subtle layers around the face. The best bit is that it takes little to no effort to maintain.
