If there’s one request that clients bring to their salon appointment in 2025, it’s ‘low maintenance’. Whilst this might not be the most creative request, this year’s low-maintenance haircuts are all about effortless shapes, healthy hair, and stunning styles that your clients can easily recreate out of the salon. For clients wanting to embrace their natural texture, looking to cut down on heat, or simply wanting hair that looks good without the fuss, we’ve got a rundown of the trending low-maintenance haircuts that every stylist should know this year.

 

This sharp, chic, and easy-to-wear bob is back in full force! With a sharp chin cut paired with a soft fringe, this look wears perfectly with an airy, undone texture. Just have your clients wash, condition, and let air-dry for a tousled finish, giving the ultimate French cool-girl look.

 

The pixie haircut is the go-to for anyone with shorter hair wanting volume, shape, and a style that doesn’t fall flat by midday. It’s bold, versatile, and full of personality! With its shorter layers throughout, the pixie adds instant thickness and texture, especially to finer hair types.

 

The long bob continues to reign as the most low-maintenance wearable haircut with its timeless and flattering finish. While most short styles need regular maintenance, the lob is far more forgiving! By keeping the back slightly shorter than the front, the shape grows out seamlessly without the boxiness.

Bringing texture, movement and edge, the choppy shag is the effortlessly cool-girl cut that continues to be the ultimate low-maintenance look. Full of layered definition for a grungey vibe, this cut is a dream for clients who love volume without the weight.

This light and layered cut gives clients a ‘blown-out’ voluminous look without the need for daily styling. By adding strategic layering, this can remove bulk while still keeping the client's desired hair length. Paired with a blunt fringe or wispy bangs, this can also help reduce the weight of the hair, making it more manageable for the client, while still giving a wearable, edgy look.

Today, clients want more than just a haircut, they want styles that work with their lifestyle, reduce their styling time, and ensure their hair stays healthy over a long period of time. These trendy haircuts don’t just tick the box for low maintenance, they also allow stylists to add personality to their clients through texture, density and their desired grow-out. As a professional, recommending the right cut for your client is all about understanding their daily habits, goals, and styling preferences, and with these trendy low maintenance cuts, you can do exactly that! Create wearable looks that look good all day, every day.
