To be able to wake up every day and have fabulous hair without even trying is every girl’s dream. Time is precious, especially on a busy day, and not many of us can spend hours getting ready every morning.

Welp, that’s your look for the day.

Thankfully, with the right haircut, you may never have to experience the nightmare of having a bad hair day ever again. What are these haircuts, you might wonder? Ahead, we’ve rounded up eight best haircuts with little to no effort to style and maintain.

Works with: Any hair texture

If you really want to save yourself the time and effort of styling your hair, shave it all off! Besides, you can always grow it back if you miss your luscious locks. The best part about getting a buzzcut is that you literally don’t have to do anything to it—no straightening, curling, not even brushing. And you can trust that you’ll look cooler than anyone in the room. But if you’re not ready for the big chop, you can always opt for…

 

 

Pixie

Works with: Any hair texture

Aside from the occasional trim to keep it in shape, pixie cuts are almost as easy to maintain as a buzzcut. They’re also super versatile and extremely easy to style, whether you’re going for an edgy or vintage look. All you need is some pomade and a brush to style it however you please!

 

 

Tiered layers

The easiest way to give your hair more oomph without styling is to get tiered layers—and it works for anyone! Adding layers to any types of hair will give it more volume and dimension, instantly elevating your look with no effort. And if that’s not enough oomph for you…

 

 

Curtain bangs

Curtain bangs are extremely versatile, look amazing on anyone, and they enhance your best facial features—who wouldn’t want that? If you have straight hair, curl your bangs with a hair roller overnight to achieve a fuller, more voluminous look. While styling them is quite effortless, you will have to trim your bangs now and then to maintain them.

 

 

Bob

You can never go wrong with a classic bob. It’s timeless, needs minimal effort to style, and anyone can rock the look. If you have wavy hair, a layered bob will complement your hair’s texture best. Alternatively, if you have thin straight hair, opt for blunt ends instead as it will create the illusion of thickness. One thing about getting a bob cut, though, is that it will lose its shape over time and your hair may appear flatter—but it’ll look good as new after a quick trim!

 

 

Lob

Works with: Wavy and curly hair

If you want to go short but not too short, get a lob! Not only does it require minimal effort to style compared to a bob, it’s also a lot easier to maintain. While most (if not all) short haircuts need to be trimmed every few weeks to keep their shape, the lob cut seamlessly grows out like a dream. The trick is to get an angular lob, which is just having the front of your hair slightly longer than the back so it won’t lose its shape as it grows longer. In terms of styling, lobs look best when left alone—you don’t have to do anything!

 

 

Shag

Works with: Wavy and curly hair

One of the many reasons why this nostalgic ‘70s style has been so popular recently is simply because it’s so effortlessly cool. The shag cut, also known as wolf cut, arguably looks best when it’s left slightly messy. It’ll also maintain its shape when your hair grows longer, so you don’t have to worry about going back to the salon every few weeks.  

 

 

Rachel Green

Works with: Straight hair

When it comes to straight hairstyles, the ever-iconic Rachel Green (AKA Jennifer Aniston) is always the best inspo. It’s essentially a subtle combination of layering and curtain bangs, which hardly needs any styling. Just give it a good comb when needed so you’ll look more put-together and you’re good to go!
