The Difference Between “Low Maintenance” and “Neglected” Hair
“Low-maintenance” is one of the most misunderstood phrases in hair—and it’s time to clear it up.
Low-maintenance hair does not mean doing nothing. It means doing the right things less often.
Low-maintenance hair looks like:
Soft grow-out
Intentional dimension
Healthy shine
Consistent shape
Minimal stress
It’s hair that works with you, not against you.
Neglected hair looks like:
Dryness and breakage
Dull or brassy tones
Uneven grow-out
Loss of shape
Hair that feels frustrating instead of empowering
The difference isn’t effort—it’s strategy.
Where clients often go wrong
Many people skip appointments, thinking they’re “low maintenance,” when in reality their hair just hasn’t been designed to age well. Without proper placement, even the best color will eventually lose its balance.
The role of home care
Luxury hair lives at home, not just in the salon. Using the right products—even a simple routine—protects your investment and keeps your hair feeling elevated between visits.
I don’t believe in pushing products. I believe in recommending what actually makes a difference.
The Vibed philosophy
Low-maintenance hair should feel calm, intentional, and supportive of your lifestyle. It’s not about perfection, it’s about ease.
When hair is designed thoughtfully, it never feels neglected.
