It’s that time of year when we’re all considering changing our look for the summer. But whether you’ve got a demanding job, kids on break to take care of, or plans to spend every day at the beach, you need a look that will work for your busy schedule. Luckily, there are plenty of cute cuts that won’t take a big chunk of your morning routine. Here are a few.

Long Hair: Soft Layers

Long hair generally doesn’t need much upkeep, and even on bad hair days, it can be put up in a bun or ponytail and still look sleek and tidy. Adding some soft layers to your long hair will help give it texture and volume, and spice up your style without being too extreme.

Mid-Length: Just Under the Shoulder

Stylists say that it’s best to keep mid-length hair below should length rather than above, because it will look more natural as it grows out so you won’t need to visit the salon very often. At this length, it’s just long enough to require as little styling as long hair, but short enough to be more versatile and to keep you cool during the summer months.

Short Hair: Cute Pixie

One of the lowest-maintenance cuts is a classic layered pixie. You might need more frequent salon visits than longer cuts, but styling is a breeze. It dries in minutes, so no heat treatment is required. Just throw some pomade in after you shower and you’re good to go.
