5 Easy Hairdos for Busy Moms

Being a mother is a full-time job with constant overtime. No matter how old your kids are, there’s always so much on your plate that your hair and clothes don’t get their deserved attention. But that doesn’t mean you have to give up!

Remember that looking nice will always make you feel better. And since your hair has its share in how you look, styling it is one of the easiest ways to make a big impact on your appearance. The best part is that there are some easy hairdos for busy moms, and they don’t take much time to achieve.

Here’re our top hairdos picks for busy moms.

1. The Half-Up Knot

Here’s an effortless hairdo with just the right mix of casual and style elements! Take a section of hair from either side of your head, down to the back of your ears. Then pull the strands to where you want to create the knot and twist the hair segments together. Be careful not to pull too tightly, though! 

Next, tie the strands together into a knot and secure it in place with some bobby pins. Voila! Your hairdo is ready! If your hair is a bit on the thicker side, you may want to knot the sections twice. 

If your hair is on the thinner side, the knot may detract from the hair that’s falling loose. Use a set of clip hair extensions as an easy fix to wear the half-up knot on thin hair. 

2. Headband Braids

Headband braids can add style to your look and don’t require much time or effort to achieve. This style is extra fun because you can try out many different types of braids to give yourself a new makeover every day. 

To get this look:

1. Start off by taking a segment of hair from behind one of your ears and push back the rest of the strands.
2. Divide the hair segment into three sides and start braiding down to your other ear, taking new strands of hair as you go along.
3. Keep braiding until you reach your ear.
4. Secure it with a couple of pins, let down the hair you had pushed back, and you’re good to go!

Women with fine hair can create thinner braids. Or they could get tape extensions to make the hairstyle look fuller and more voluminous. 

3. Messy Bun

There’s something very special about messy hairstyles that captures the vibe of a busy mom while also looking good. The messy bun is one such hairdo for busy moms. 

To make your hair into a messy bun, gather your hair together into a ponytail but pull it only about halfway through the elastic. 

Next, gather the bottom half of the ponytail, twist the elastic as you go, and finally pull it over to the other side to secure your bun. You can twist it some more times if necessary, depending on your hair’s thickness. 

4. Festival Hair

Every day may not be a festival, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go for a hip and festival look! Similar to beach waves, this hairstyle is straightforward and easy to achieve. 

Start off by creating a mixture of coconut oil, sea salt, conditioner, and warm water. Mix all of the ingredients in a small spray bottle, and then spray it on your hair while it’s damp. Make sure to scrunch it up towards the roots. 

Let your hair dry out naturally while scrunching it up every few minutes, and you’re ready to rock with your festival hairstyle. If necessary, you can fix up the hairdo a bit with a brush or a curling iron. 

This hairdo is perfect for thicker hair with more volume. If your hair is thin and lacks volume, you can still make it work for you by using a set of halo hair extensions. 

5. Head Scarf

This hairdo looks sophisticated, but it is easy and great for busy moms. All you need for this hairdo is a large square scarf – silk works best because it’s soft and not too bulky! 

Fold the scarf together to form a triangle. Then fold the corner down twice until the middle of the scarf. Now pull the scarf around your head with the ends at the front and tie a loose knot. That’s all! You can make your hair into any style under the scarf to throw in a bit of flair. 

These easy hairdos for busy moms are simple and stylish. If your hair is short or less voluminous, you can use Zala hair extensions to add the required volume, length, and thickness for these hairdos.
