There's no denying that new moms have little to no time to dedicate
to themselves. Guest contributor Charlie Brown shares some quick yet
chic hairstyles that you can sport as a new mommy!
If you are a new mom, then your plate is full of things to be done.
There’s everything from lack of sleep, to changing diapers, feeding and
so on. There is nothing else that is more important than taking care of
your baby right now. However, this does not mean that you cannot look
your best while you are at it. What is important is to pick a style that
is hassle-free and quick. Despair not, there are many quick and easy
hairstyles for new moms which can make you look like a million bucks
with the smallest bit of effort.
1. Pixie Style
This one’s for all the new mommies who are not afraid to radically
experiment with their locks. If you are not scared to leave your tresses
behind, then get the short haired pixie look. You may have experienced
lots of hair fall followed by uncontrolled hair growth due to all your
hormones going crazy. There’s no need to despair as this style will
totally set things straight. You can use this hairstyle to experiment
and create different looks like the faux hawk, bed-head look and so on.
To make it look more feminine you can use hairspray and part it to one
side.
2. Buns
This is for all those new moms who don’t want to cut off their precious
locks of hair. It’s the perfect no-nonsense style for those who are
experiencing hair shedding. If your hair is not as thick as it used to
be, then worry not; use the sockbun to get a neat looking bun. You can
even try a twist. That is the best kind if you did not have the time to
wash your hair. However, remember that both buns and twists require a
certain amount of skill to start with. Once you get the hang of it, it
becomes a piece of cake. If you have a little bit of time on your hands,
then you could use a root booster which would give your hair more
volume while trying out a low bun or a chignon. You could also use the
every trusty hairspray. For those of you who really don't have time,
stick to the ever trusty messy bun!
3. Braids
Do you have a baby who loves to tug at your hair? Then, go for one of
those braided styles. There are many braided styles that you could
choose from including the milkmaid braid. You could also try to just
braid your bangs, or even braid your ponytail before pulling it up into a
bun. Again, for trying a braided style, you would require a little bit
of time and technique but once you get the hang of it, it is easy peasy!
4. Bobs
Do you have arrow straight hair? Then a bob is a godsend for you. It is
practical and looks extremely classy as well. With a few extra layers at
the back, and the use of a root booster after each hair wash, you will
have a ready to go minimal maintenance style. This look can easily be
done by your hairstylist using thinning scissors for hairdressers.
For variety, you can even braid those bangs or curl them for a special
occasion. This is one of the easiest hairstyles to sport. Remember to go
for this look only if you have absolutely straight hair.
5. Layered
For those with curly and wavy hair, go for the layered look. Just to cut
in a few more layers and you will be all ready to go. This look is
great for curly haired girls as well. Be careful when getting a layered
hairstyle done, as it can go horribly wrong. Best visit an experienced
professional stylist.
6. Ponytail
The classics never go out of style. A ponytail is probably the easiest
among all hairstyles, but that doesn’t mean it has to look bland. It has
always been popular, takes no time and can be pulled into a bun in
virtually no time at all. Just be careful that you don’t become
over-confident with your ponytail and forget to check the mirror. A
hurriedly made ponytail with wildly lose strands of hair poking out can
be very off putting.
7. Side-Swept
If you have medium to short hair, you can try the side-swept
hairstyle. Simply part your hair on the opposite side of your usual part
using your fingers, after washing and blow drying. Not only will this
give you a fresh new look, it’ll also instantly give your hairstyle more
volume. Add a cherry on the cake with a jewelled barrette clipped onto
the side swept section, just above the ear.
Life doesn’t stop for you once you become a mother, it only changes
in some drastic and yet wonderful ways. With so many hairstyles at your
disposal, looking good and motherhood will go hand in hand for you.
