Being a mother is one of the most rewarding jobs a woman can have but it’s also one of the toughest. It’s a challenging balancing act of juggling little ones, your work, your house, your husband and, with the small amount of energy that remains, yourself!
Physical appearance aside, when you neglect your tresses you may find yourself dealing with tangles, brittle hair, and breakage, which in the long-run will be more time-consuming.
Here are a few ways to keep up with the kids and your hair.
Buns are quick, easy, sexy, and elegant. Bunning your hair is a protective style that lasts. If you don’t get baby food, spit up, or toys in it, you can save it for a few days. They can be created right after you wash your hair or even on dry hair, but remember to seal your ends with butters, creams, and water when dry. The messy bun is a popular style that will be around forever.
Cute, sassy, and easy scarves are just what a busy mom needs. Plain, multi-colored, or whatever you like, as long as it’s silk or satin to help protect your hair and not withdraw moisture from your hair like a cotton scarf would. Sadora J gives us five great ways to wear a scarf. Although she has a TWA, don’t feel you can’t achieve these styles on longer hair.
Any twist can be a protective style but not as quick as doing a full head of flat twist since time is limited for the busy mom. Since more hair is being twisted when doing flat twists, you usually end up with quicker styles and I’ve never seen a flat twist that wasn’t gorgeous. Here’s a quick but elegant flat twist style that is easy and will have you back with the kids before you know it.
As a busy mom, time is not on your side and while you try to do a million tasks at once, you cannot neglect yourself. Enjoy motherhood and enjoy these great ways to still look cute.
