Low maintenance hairstyles can save you time and money.
Having “African-textured” hair is a blessing when you think of al the ways you can style and wear it. You can experiment with different cuts, colours, lengths and even switch up the texture for a while. But all this can cause you hair fatigue and sometimes you just need a break from all the styling.
Sometimes you just need a low maintenance hairstyle that will still look good. Here is a list:
Wigs
This is definitely the top go-to style for when you don’t have the energy to do a whole lot of styling. You just put on the wig and remove it whenever you feel like.
Dreadlocks
Bad hair days don’t come often to those with dreadlocks. In fact, the longer you wear them, the better they look. They are extremely low maintenance.
Braids
Braids will serve you a couple of weeks while protecting you from harsh hair treatments. There are so many braiding styles to choose from too.
Cornrows
Cornrows can be done with or without extensions and will last you a couple of weeks without needing manipulation. They are a great way to keep your hair under control.
A low haircut
Is there anything more low maintenance than this? It is a hairstyle that probably only requires a hairbrush. Not to mention you can freely stand under the shower everyday.
Microlinks
Microlinks are a type of hair extensions that are secured to the hair strands by use of small, silicone beads. They can last you 10-12 weeks and cause little to no damage to your hair. Although expensive to install, they are absolutely worth it.
