Easy Hairstyles for Women | Long and Short

Most of us are so pressed for time, it's hard to justify a hairstyle that takes a lot of time to maintain. Although some women enjoy fussing with high-maintenance hairstyles, I think the numbers are going down in this category. Women want attractive hairstyles that require just a quick run through with a brush and comb, so they can be on their way in minutes, looking good in a chic, but easy hairstyle. Just take a look at the current female news anchors. There's a good reason they opt for sleek, low maintenance and easy hairstyles. Not only are these styles trendy and attractive, but their busy schedules don't allow for lengthy and frequent trips to the salon. As for the reporter out in the hurricane, well, you get the picture. Fussy, complicated hair styles also tend to make you look outdated.

So, easy hairstyles do make sense. Why add extra work to your life, with an old fashioned result?

No matter what your taste in hair length, a good stylist can, with a well executed cut, make your hair a virtual wash and wear. While you'll still need a trim every six weeks, you'll maintain a stylish look with very little upkeep involved. Another advantage of a good cut is that, should you decide to either shorten it up for summer activities or grow it out a bit, just for a change, the basic easy hairstyle cut still works. A good cut is forgiving of changes in length.

Perhaps the ultimate in easy hairstyles is the all one length, without layering and no bangs. This style requires no cutting at all, except for an occasional trimming of the ends. Once your hair has grown out to an all over even length, all you need do is wash it and brush. Another bonus of this hairstyle choice is the versatility you gain. If you're working in the garden or just doing errands, band it up in a ponytail with an attractive hair band. You can part it any which way. You can draw it back from your face with combs or barrettes for the office. For a night on the town, pile it on top of your head. French braiding is yet another attractive way to manage your ultra versatile easy hairstyle.

How about hair coloring issues? Many women enjoy a change in color, but dislike the frequent root touch ups required. Well, there's good news on this front. There are now touch up kits available that require only a few minutes to apply, just at the root area. The kits come with a little, fine toothed comb to subtly recolor those roots. You no longer have to do all of your hair. As for covering gray, women now have those 5-minute gray treatments which have been available to men for many years! (I always wondered why these were just for men.)

If you're tired of spending so much time with your hair, think about some of these easy hairstyle ideas. Who can't use an extra half hour a day?
