Easy, Low Maintenance Hairstyles For New Moms

Admin August 15 2022

Becoming a mother is one of the most exciting and busiest times in a woman’s life. While taking on your new role as a parent you also have to navigate an altered and often lacking sleep schedule, hormone changes, body changes, and even changes to your hair.  Add all of this to the responsibilities you had before the arrival of your little one and it can be very hard to find time for yourself. You can maintain a cute hairstyle as a new mom without sacrificing anything else. The key is to make styling easier. Here are a few things to know about your changing hair and some hairstyle ideas to help you look great without taking up too much of your limited time.

Why Your Hair Looks Different After Having a Baby

You may have noticed your hair starting to look thinner or maybe noticed some texture changes after your baby was born. Much of this is due to shifts in hormones. During pregnancy, your hormones lock your hair follicles in the growth phase and prevent your hair from shedding. After the baby is born and the pregnancy hormones are gone many follicles shift into the next phase where hair sheds. This can sometimes lead to an alarming amount of hair loss. This will soon correct itself as your hair growth cycle begins to regulate, but it can create some styling challenges in the meantime.

How You Can Help Your Hair Look and Feel Its Best

If there’s ever been a time in your life that you’ve deserved some self-pampering it’s right after the birth of a baby. When you’re devoting all of your time to the care of your infant it’s never been more important to set some time aside just for you. Visiting your stylist is the perfect way to pamper yourself and your hair to get it looking its best.  A professional conditioning treatment, keratin treatment, or perm paired with a low-maintenance haircut can make your hair look fuller and healthier as well as make it a breeze to style. Here are a few examples of easy care haircuts that fit a new mother’s busy lifestyle:

Long Loose Waves- If you prefer to keep your locks long but are tired of boring buns and ponytails because you have no time to style your hair, ask your stylist to create some permanent loose waves for you. It will give you a wash-and-go style that you can wear down, and it will also add some pizzazz to your ponies when you need to pull it back in a hurry.

Pixie- A short layered pixie is a chic and stylish look that is perfect for new moms. It’s easier to wash, easier to style, and makes sure that your hair stays out of your face during diaper changes. It also ensures that the baby won’t be able to latch onto your tresses with curious little fingers when they get a little older.

Blunt Bob- A blunt bob is another great style that’s easy to care for. Just wash and air dry. No styling is needed. It looks great on both straight and curly tresses and works for both formal and casual affairs.
