Quick and Easy Hairstyles for Moms Who Are Busy AF

You know those mamas who always look put together? I’m talking their makeup on, hair done, wearing clothes with an abnormally scarce amount of sticky finger stains and/or spit-up? Well, get ready to join them, because you GOT THIS.

The experts say that when you look good, you feel good, and there’s some solid psychology to back that up. The problem is, most moms barely have time for a hot shower, let alone a blowout — so what’s a girl to do?

These beauty bloggers have figured it out, with super foxy, no-fuss hairstyles you can throw together on second (let’s get real, THIRD/fourth/seventh) day hair.

It’s time to dust off your flat iron and put on Baby Einstein mamas — all you need is 15 minutes to get fab.

For Curly Hair

 

Half Up Double Buns

 

The Naturally Curly blog is FULL of hairstyles just for curly girls who battle hair woes the rest of us could never understand. If you fall into the curly girl camp, there are a ton of styles you need to see on this site.

One of my favorites are the half up double buns, a playful style that looks all chic and premeditated, but really, you can do it while you’re running back and forth to the kitchen to flip pancakes.

They never need to know.

 

Sky High Ponytail

 

This beautiful and versatile pony only takes about three minutes to style and is perfect for curly girls who might struggle with mid-shaft texture issues. Grab some curl cream to keep your ends from going fuzzy, and top off your coffee on the way out the door — you have time.
