Let’s face it, being a mom is a lot of work! From caring for your infant through the baby stage to chauffeuring your kids to and from activities as they get older, it’s a full time job that often doesn’t leave you with a lot of extra time. Often, one of the first things to go when we lose time for ourselves is the time we take for our own self-care – that includes our hair! Today, Maria McCool is giving 3 easy tips that can help moms speed up their hair routines and make the most of those few moments of free time.
Don’t Underestimate Air Drying
Maria: I always think that letting your hair air dry is one of the easiest ways to simplify the styling process. Take a shower at night, use a volumizing product, like Calista Embellish Texturizing Foam, or smoothing styling cream, like Embellish Styling Cream, and let your hair dry naturally. In the morning, skip the blow dry and use a heated round brush like the Calista FAUXblo for a better, faster blowout.
Change Your Part
Maria: For new moms who are experiencing hormonal hair loss, a great hack is to move your part to the center. Part your hair in the middle and then slick your front pieces down behind your ears to cover any thinning spots. From there, bring the rest of your hair to the front or tie it up in a top knot or ponytail.
Don’t Be Afraid of the Mom Chop
Maria: The mom chop gets a bad rap sometimes, but the truth is, every inch you take off your hair can save you 5 minutes of styling time in the morning. Even if you only take off 3 inches, that’s 15 minutes back (which as a mom, is huge)! Blunt chops are very in right now, so getting a bob or a lob is an easy, fashionable cut that will also help you cut on down on styling time.
