Hello World! Welcome Friends! It can be tough being a mom and trying to keep up with the latest trends never mind spending the time to get ready. You want to look stylish, but you also don’t have a lot of time to spend on your hair. In this blog post, we will discuss some easy haircuts and hairstyles for busy moms. We’ll also give you some tips on how to talk to your stylist about what you want, and what types of styles look best on different face shapes. So look out 80’s mom bob or sad, flat bed head; we’ve got you covered!
Best Hair Cuts for Moms
The best haircut for you is the one that makes you feel comfortable, sexy, cool and it’s easy to do. There are a lot of different haircuts to choose from, so take your time and find the right one for you. If you’re not sure where to start, here are a few of our favorite cuts for busy moms:
The Blunt Cut Bob:
Why we love the blunt-cut bob for moms: it’s a very low-maintenance edgy yet classy style that can be styled in many different ways. It’s a great cut for those with thick hair because it’s lightweight- goodbye headaches! And it’s perfect for thin hair as well. If you have thin hair think about adding a few layers to give the look more volume.
How to Style a Blunt-Cut Bob:
-Part your hair in the middle and scrunch your ends with curly hair products for an effortless style that will carry you through to your next wash!
-When you have a little more time, use a little heat from your straight iron to add a gentle wave to your locks for a chic look.
-Or if you’re really busy, throw half of it up into a small knot to stay out of your way as you wrangle the playdough out of your toddler’s mouth.
Curtain Bangs:
Curtain bangs with long hair add some flare to a potentially otherwise boring look. Adding curtain bangs will give you something fun to play with while being way less maintenance than traditional straight across bangs. And if you change your mind about them they don’t have the awkward growing out phase that traditional bangs have.
Curtain bangs work for great all face shapes, curtain bangs are long and thick and can be styled a million different ways. For thinner hair, ask your stylist to cut them a little shorter so they frame your face better and give you some more volume.
How to Style Curtain Bangs:
-Part your hair where you want your bangs to fall. We suggest down the middle.
-When blowdrying your hair, gently guide the ends to curl upwards towards the back of your head. Holding them in place will help them stay put as well as give them a little volume.
Long and Layered:
The young moms of the 80’s would likely fight me on this one. After all their short perms and famous bobs were the ones who inspired the term “mom haircut” for the claims of ease of styling and low maintenance looks but here is why we disagree. Short styles take longer to style! Yep; you heard that right. Less hair more time styling. A long and layered cut is going to be the most versatile style that you can have. You can wear it straight, wavy or curly without having to worry about whether or not it will look good. You can go to bed with it wet and wake up and throw it in a high poney tail. You can even throw in a scarf for really messy days. Style it in a chunky braid. There are so many overnight hair tricks to try as well.
How to Talk to your Stylist
When you go to your stylist, be sure to bring pictures of the styles that you like. If you are not sure what type of style will look best on you, ask for their help. They can take into account your face shape and hair texture when suggesting a style for you.
It is also important to be clear about how much time you plan on spending on your hair. Don’t be afraid to admit that you have 5 minutes in the morning and a wash in the evenings if you really don’t plan on spending time styling your hair. They will be able to advise on what styles will work with the amount if time and effort you can afford.
Conclusion
There are many different hairstyles for moms that can be achieved with a few quick cuts and simple styling tips. By taking the time to find a stylist you trust and bringing pictures of styles you like, you can easily find a look that is perfect for you. And finally, no matter how busy you are, try to make time for yourself. Being a mom is the best and hardest job and you deserve to celebrate yourself and take care of yourself.
