When going for a long layered cut, it’s good to choose something with minimal styling. To maintain this style all you have to do is freshen it up with a curling wand in less than 10 minutes.
2. Elongated Lob Hairstyle

The blunt cut you can keep up by doing small clipping weekly. Try adding some color to your hair such as streek and highlighting these will make the hair a little less boring. This lob cut looks great on shoulder-length hair, you really get to enjoy your hair more.
3. Shaggy Hairdos

We love shaggy hair because even when they are not combed it look like that’s what you’re going for literally. Check out our best shaggy bob for fine hair curated just for our readers. This style shines when you look unkept, so go to bed and do not worry when you wake up, shake up, and look great.
4. Wispy Face-Covering Bangs

Wispy bangs are so cute and they have been a big hit for the last few years. However, consider going for short hair if you don’t like long hair. Long hair will give you more options to create cute little pineapple or ponytails.
Wispy Styling Tip Guide:
- For styling, use a round brush while blow drying your bangs. This technique helps create a gentle curve and natural movement, enhancing the wispy texture and framing effect around your face.
5. Short Pixie Haircut

Pixie cuts are not big on the low-maintenance list because of they may need regular cuts to keep looking great. If you are considering a short pixie cut you will have ease of styling at home every day without much work.
6. Bun Hairstyles For Busy Day

Bun hairstyles have shown over and over to be a time saver for everyone. There are many options for the bun to do just depends on your level of skills and hair length.
Alternate Hairstyles Ideas
You may be curious as to what I mean about “alternative hairstyles” but here is a small breakdown.
An alternative hairstyle refers to other styles that you can recreate within 10 minutes or less. Alternate hairstyles refer to subordinate styles that you can effortlessly create in under 10 minutes. For this type of hairstyle, I would recommend a ponytail as this was my quick style when I was going to college.
7. Simple Updo
An easy updo is also a fantastic choice if you are looking for a classy style without much hassle. Pull your hair into a high or low bun and secure it with whatever you like best, I normally go with an elastic clip.
To make the look more than basic leave a few strands out to frame the face, you can create soft wave curls for a romantic appeal. This style will go from day to night, casual or formal.
Tips for Creating a Simple Updo:
- Use Hair Accessories: Try to add clips, hairpins, and hairbands to make your updo look great without much effort.
- Loosen the Updo: If you have curly hair or straight hair wearing it a bit loose in an updo can give it a casual appeal.
- Secure Wisely: secure your hair but not enough to feel pain in the back of your head.
8. Half-Up, Half-Down

Half Up and Half Down has always been a hit style from the 90s and you can enjoy them at any age. So being a busy mom this hairstyle is perfect for you and it’s great for short to very long hair. The style will look good for both a casual or formal occasion.
9. Evergreen Ponytail

This next hairstyle combines two styling techniques such as ponytail and braid. We think this style is more suitable for long hair but if you are comfortable you can add extensions to recreate this look as well.
10. Braided Beauties
Braids are a lovely solution for moms seeking style without giving up practicality. Box braids are Dutch braids that can look great for everyday wear. In this case, I would give box braids the win for being more wearable every day and Dutch braids for sophistication.
11. Pineapple Ponytails

Beyond using the pineapple style for nighttime hair care, it’s a versatile option that can be worn during the day as well.
Tips for Maintaining Low-Maintenance Hairstyles:
- Regular Trims: Keep your style looking fresh with a monthly (if necessary) schedule to remove split ends and to help the style last longer.
- Dry Shampoo: Give dry shampoo a try as it helps to keep your hair looking fresh when you are not able to wash as often.
- Use Minimal Products: If you are comfortable with this, I know a lot of women prefer to have a product for everything but this should also be considered.
- Invest in Quality Tools: Quality tools will save you in the end. Not all curling or flat irons are made with the same quality or even best for your hair type.
