Before you book
Tell your stylist how many minutes you will honestly spend styling — a good low-maintenance cut is designed around that number.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a haircut low maintenance?
Three things: it suits your natural texture (so no daily heat styling), it grows out without harsh lines, and it only needs a trim every couple of months. Styles in this collection are chosen on exactly those tests.
What do I ask my stylist or barber for?
Ask for a cut that grows out softly with no hard lines, and check the trim cycle before you leave: 8–12 weeks between visits is genuinely low maintenance.
