As we grow older, our priorities shift, and looking good doesn’t have to come with a hefty time investment. Everyone loves feeling fresh and polished, but the reality is that some days are busier than others, and standing in front of a mirror for an hour just isn’t realistic. Thankfully, the best haircuts are the ones that do all the hard work for you, cuts that look fantastic with minimal upkeep.
At ResidentStylist, we understand the challenges that come with maintaining a gorgeous look in aged care. That’s why we recommend “Shake and Go” styles that are not only easy to maintain but also allow residents to feel their very best every day. With professional on-site styling services, ResidentStylist brings salon-quality haircuts directly to your facility.
Here are our top low-maintenance cuts that are perfect for residents in care:
1. The Wedge: Short, Chic, and Simple
The wedge cut is a timeless style that offers clean lines and volume with little maintenance. Perfect for residents who want to feel stylish without the fuss, the wedge is cut short at the back and slightly longer on top. The beauty of this cut lies in its versatility, it naturally falls into place with just a quick comb through. No more worrying about flat hair or limp locks.
This cut works well with various hair types, particularly fine hair, as it adds volume and lifts the hair without extra effort. The angled shape of the wedge gives the face a lifted, youthful appearance, making it a great choice for residents who appreciate a fresh and polished look that feels effortless.
2. The Buzz Cut: Clean, Cool, and Hassle-Free
For the gentlemen in aged care, a buzz cut offers a clean and refreshing style that requires zero maintenance. Using a number 3 or 4 guard all over, the buzz cut is shaved close to the scalp, offering a sharp and neat appearance that stays perfect no matter how active the day gets.
This style is incredibly practical for those who spend a lot of time in bed or those who simply want a low-maintenance hairstyle that doesn’t require any styling tools. The buzz cut is also a fantastic choice for residents experiencing hair thinning, as it keeps everything neat and uniform. Plus, it’s perfect for the hot summer months, providing comfort and cooling relief for the scalp.
3. The Layered Shag: Effortless Style for Natural Curls
For the ladies who love their waves, the layered shag is an excellent low-maintenance cut that embraces your natural texture. Whether you have fine or thick hair, the layers allow your hair to fall naturally without needing to spend time styling or blow-drying. This carefree cut is perfect for residents with natural curls or waves, as it lets the hair sit beautifully without additional effort.
The layered shag gives hair movement and body, adding texture and life without the need for complex styling routines. For residents who prefer something more casual yet still fashionable, the shag is the ideal choice. It’s a cut that works with your natural hair rather than against it, giving you effortless style every day.
