I like hearing the words wash and wear hairstyle but I have no clue of what it is. What is it? Is it long hair or short hair.  My freind suggested that I get the wash and wear look. It will look on me but I do not want to if it is short.  I am planning on getting it cut in April for my vacation because it grows back very thick and fast. This question will decide on how I am going to cut it. 

Thanks.

and I might add the perfect hair cut for your EXACT hair style and texture.  Many a stylist may promise wah and wear but VERy few can deliver.

The problem with the term wash & wear is people just think they don't need to do anything to their hair other than wash it and go. Do you ever remember a point in your life when you never had to condition or maintain your hair, comb it, throw product in it or spend the money on maintenence and have it trimmed? People sometimes think perms are wash & wear and they anything but. After 3 days the person with the perm hasn't done anything or conditioned it it looks like they stuck their head in a light socket. Hair needs to be maintained with product, conditioned and taken care of especially if you do any chemical services to your hair.

There are haircuts that are less maintenence than other haircuts and obviously the shorter the cut the less drying time, etc but if you really want a simple wash and wear haircut then a brush cut is about the only cut I'd call wash & wear.

I personally hate it when a person comes into my salon and says I want a wash and wear cut because I think their expectations are that they don't hafta do anything to it and that's simply not the case.
