10 Celeb-Inspired Low-Maintenance Haircuts for Men & How to Do Them

Sometimes, all you want is a low-maintenance haircut or an easy-to-manage hairstyle to get you out the door fast and look somewhat put together.

Luckily for you, there are plenty of options for low-maintenance haircuts for men that require minimal faffing, and we've got 10 of the easiest across every hair length below.

If there's any group of people we trust to keep their hair game on point, it's the A-listers.

We've rounded up our Pinterest boards and saved Instagram posts to bring you a list of the best low-maintenance haircuts for men inspired by all our favourite celebs. Screenshot these pictures or bookmark this post for when you're in need of some trim-spiration.

Short hair is fairly easy to manage as it is, but sometimes it can feel a little limiting as to what hairstyles you can achieve when you don’t have much length to work with.

But actually, there are plenty of low-maintenance hairstyles for short hair that will have you looking sharp with minimal effort.

Here are some of our favourites…

If you're willing to chop off your locks in the name of style, a close-buzzed crop like Michael B Jordan's is definitely worth the change. He goes for a mid-fade and keeps it short on top for a sharper, low-maintenance haircut.

Speak to your barber to figure out the best way to recreate this look, or experiment with different fades and lengths to find a style that works for you.

You can also add a bit of texture and hold to your hair with a styling compound. We always reach for Hybrid Hair, and our customers love it also.

This award-winning product gives you a super high hold and a natural finish, using all the great properties of hair clay and hair wax in one.

Plus, the Atlantic Sea Salt in the formula adds a wavy texture to your hair and nourishes your strands with minerals for stronger, healthier hair.

Just take a small amount, warm it up between your palms, and run it from front to back.

Henry Cavill is definitely up there as one of the A-listers with the best hairstyles, and his wavy quiff is a major part of his signature look. One that's really easy to recreate, too. We think this works great for both everyday and formal occasions, which is a win-win.

If you have medium-length hair, you’ve hit the jackpot when it comes to low-maintenance hairstyles. This versatile length allows for a variety of styles that require minimal upkeep.

Some popular options include the messy bedhead look, textured waves, and slicked-back hair, but we’ll take you through a few more options below.

American-French actor Timothée (which is actually pronounced Tim-o-tay, funnily enough) has been all over the silver screen and social media channels as of late, and not just because of his great acting chops.

His bouncy, natural curls and bedhead aesthetic is a hit with guys everywhere, and we think the effortless-edge look is anything but boring.

If you already have medium-length curly locks, you won't need to do much more other than define your curls with a sea salt spray or styling compound. But if you have naturally straight hair, a little more work will be required (only a little).

Ipswich's very own Sam Claflin is the master of effortless styling. The Hunger Games and Peaky Blinders star often opts for messy, lived-in hairstyles, which is exactly what we're looking for.

All you need to do here is give your damp hair a good spritz with a sea salt spray and work it through your hair (we told you Marine Mist was versatile, and it’ll come in handy here again).

Gently scrunch and tousle to create a dishevelled look, and leave your mop to air dry.

Mullets are back, and they've been in for a little while now. And someone who's been taking full advantage of this trend is Paul Mescal. His 'mini mullet' look has been everywhere lately, and it's definitely one we can get on board with.

You'll likely need to undergo the chop to achieve the full effect, but it's worth it. You can create the messy waves on top with a texturising spray, and that's all there is to it.

It wouldn't be a best hairstyles list if we didn't include Becks. Over the years, we've seen him sport every hairstyle under the sun, but his current slicked-back voluminous quiff is one of our favourites.

You'll need to follow a similar method to achieving a pompadour, but rather than slicking it back, you want to give your hair more of a side-sweep, creating a deep side parting.

A pompadour hairdo is always a classic, and we can take inspiration from JT's look.

His slicked-back, modern pompadour is great if you're headed to a smarter, more formal occasion, like a wedding or even for work.

You'll need to have medium-length hair to achieve the exact same hairstyle as Justin's, but it can still work on shorter hair.

If you have medium-length hair, you’ve hit the jackpot when it comes to low-maintenance hairstyles. This versatile length allows for a variety of styles that require minimal upkeep.

Some popular options include the messy bedhead look, textured waves, and slicked-back hair, but we’ll take you through a few more options below.

Another haircut at the top of this year's trending list is the wolf cut. K-pop star Jung Kook has been sporting this look for some time. It's a shorter cut with layers and choppy ends, often worn with long curtain bangs.

This one is really easy to style, too. After washing, apply a little product to smooth your hair back and slick down any flyaways – and you're good to go.

Love them or hate them, man buns aren't going anywhere. At least, Jason Mamoa is still clinging to his.

If you're lucky enough to have long hair, you can re-create the actor's signature look very easily by using a hair tie to create the pineapple bun style.

Create a ponytail positioned on the back of your head, and as you're pulling your locks through the hair tie the last time, only pull your hair partway through to create the bun.

Once it's in place, slightly tug at your hair to shape the bun and make sure it looks messy.

This only takes a minute or two to do, and it'll stay in place all day – a truly low-effort hairstyle.

Seven-time Formula 1 world champion (or eight-time, depending on who you're asking) Lewis Hamilton is no stranger to looking great in the Paddock.

He's more often than not sporting his signature braids tied up in a mid-height ponytail, and we think this is a great look for styling coily or curly hair.

Arguably, the braids aren't effortless since you'll need your barber (or someone who knows how to braid) to help you out, which can be a lengthy process. But they'll usually last up to 8 weeks, so this is great in the long run.

As for the ponytail, grab yourself a hair tie and loosely tie your hair back behind your head.
