To choose the best simple and quick hairstyles, consider the texture of your hair. Non-layered hairstyles may require less maintenance, although thin or fine hair may look fuller by adding a few layers. If you're a woman, your requirements may differ from that of a man when finding your perfect hair style. A man with a receding hairline may find that crew cuts or cropped styles work well. The shape of your face can also determine the most flattering hairstyle.

Before choosing a new hairstyle, consult with your hair care professional or stylist. She can help you determine which simple and quick hairstyles would work best for you. Your hair stylist can also show you pictures of several hairstyles that are easy to maintain.

If you have a round face, it's best to choose a medium to long hair style. Simple and quick hairstyles for long hair can be straight, or a few layers may be added. If your hair is curly or thick, you should avoid layering and opt for a razor cut, which may thin your unruly hair. This is a relatively easy hair style that will require nothing more than a shampoo and blow dry. If you prefer, let your hair air dry for more texture and waviness.

The basic bob is cut short in back and slightly angled in front. This is a perfect choice if your hair is straight, and you can add blunt bangs as well.
