Short hair may be less maintenance overall compared to long hair, but you'll have to style shorter hair every day, so be ready to commit to that.
Of all the short haircuts to consider, the easiest to maintain is actually a textured long bob—also known as a lob. As the style grows out, the long layers won't fall awkwardly and will naturally shift into a mid-length look. "Adding in layers is an easy way to keep a look fresh," says Reed.

Fine hair texture is the most delicate and fragile hair type. Typically, type 2 waves and type 3 curls fall into this category. However, you can find fine hair across a wide variety of curl types. If you find that your hair is both fine and curly, it can be quite the challenge to perfect your curls.
Thick (Coarse)
