Ladies with mixed or ethnic hair

Hi ladies! 
I'm mixed race and my husband is Caucasian. I recently gave birth to my daughter and as you all know, life is forever changed! In a good way though 😉 I no longer have hours upon hours to go to the salon and get my hair done or spend an entire afternoon doing it myself. But I also don't want to look like a crazy headed fool. What do you ladies do as far as hair care after you had a baby? Any products or styles you can share that are low maintenance and healthy? I don't want to get it cut because my husband loves longer hair but every day it looks crazier and crazier. I could probably still go to the salon maybe once a month but I still need to do something with it in the interim. 
Thanks! 
(And I only referenced my husband as Caucasian because he knows absolutely nothing about ethnic hair. He doesn't understand why it costs so much to maintain and take so long to do)
