I've always had short hair but now that I'm a mom, I stopped getting super-short haircuts because they require hair appts that I don't have time for. However, I LOVE the a-lines/angled cuts because:</p> <p>1) it's stylish when you actually put effort into styling it (and it pretty much styles itself if cut right)<br /> 2) looks good just tucked behind your ears when you don't have time<br /> 3) it's higher in the back so you don't have the weight of hair settling on your neck (I hate that!)<br /> and 4) you can let it grow a couple of inches (if necessary) and it'll still look good.</p> <p>Here are some examples, I like Kelly Clarkson's the best :)</p> <p><a href="http://www.hairstylesnew2012.tk/uncategorized/angled-bob-hairstylessuper-star" rel="nofollow">http://www.hairstylesnew2012.tk/uncategorized/angled-bob-hairstylessuper-star</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-friendly-hairstyles#post-7484 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 10:55:50 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 7484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooo I love that. It took me a while to do the "chop" actually waiting till last month (so clearly not "after baby" ) </p> <p>I opted for a shorter style seeing my hair long looked so drabby.<br /> <a href="http://www.123-hairstyles.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Dianna_Agron_Short_Bob_Hairstyle.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.123-hairstyles.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Dianna_Agron_Short_Bob_Hairstyle.jpg</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-friendly-hairstyles#post-7481 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 10:54:18 +0000 chopsuey 7481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hair's straight and super long. I usually have it in a pony tail--keeps it outta my face, outta my baby's hands and prevents hair from getting on the floor :)<br /> I have an appointment this Saturday to get my hair cut. Probably going to cut off a few inches and get some layers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-friendly-hairstyles#post-7477 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 10:34:29 +0000 mediagirl 7477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is a digital perm? The last perm I ever had was when I was turning 13 and the lady cut my hair before perming it. I looked like a poodle straight from the salon. That thing was so tight, I washed it three times, 3 days in a row and it didn't even phase it. Happy 13th birthday!! Haha.</p> <p>I hate my hair. It's thin and has an awkward limp wave to it if I don't blow dry it. I don't like how it looks when it's straightened by the stylists at the salon. I think before the baby comes, I'll chop it up to just above my shoulders to make it easier and quicker to blow dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-friendly-hairstyles#post-7468 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 09:14:50 +0000 hreichard 7468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hair is falling out the most right now 3 1/ 2months post baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-friendly-hairstyles#post-7180 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 09:05:15 +0000 reggie 7180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got a digiperm (2 months postpartum and absolutely loved it! I've always had long straight hair and was reluctant to get a perm because I don't know if I will like my hair curly. It is so low maintenance and soo easy to look like you put a lot of effort making your hair look nice.. but in reality I don't even blow it! And it looks really nice when you just tie it on the side as well ;) highly recommended for busy moms =D</p> <p>@rubies- don't worry about hair loss.. I didn't notice any difference (yet) :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-friendly-hairstyles#post-7178 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 09:01:13 +0000 Rubies 7178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone care to share at what month one's hair fell out the most? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-friendly-hairstyles#post-7166 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 02:45:32 +0000 looch 7166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Excellent question! I need something that looks good when air dried. I pretty much wash my hair at night and let it dry overnight. If I need to I can use the flat iron on it in the morning, but that's pretty rare. I was thinking of getting bangs, but thanks to my post partum hair loss and wacky regrowth, I have to give that up for the moment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-friendly-hairstyles#post-7161 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 01:03:41 +0000 enjollah 7161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the picture you posted Mrs. Bee! But.... if you don't have fine hair, this hair style may require some more maintenance such as using a straightener to achieve this style (or you could go and get one of those japanese straight perms). For someone with thicker hair, I cut my hair short like this a year ago and had to use a straighter on a regular basis....~15 extra minutes added </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-friendly-hairstyles#post-7160 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 00:21:28 +0000 Rubies 7160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogiebea: Yeah, I hear you on the feeling frumpy thing. I feel frumpy and a haircut always makes me feel better. The wheels are turning now... :o) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-friendly-hairstyles#post-7155 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 23:03:59 +0000 BoogieBea 7155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is 3 months old and I just got my post baby chop last weekend. I actually feel more energized now. My hair got quite long because the last time I had it cut was a year ago before I got pregnant. I wanted to wait longer so I can donate it but I just couldn't take it anymore. I was putting my hair in a ponytail everyday since my baby was born because she was getting hold of my hair and pulling since day one. After a while I was just feeling very frumpy mom. Also I lost my hair very badly with my son and putting my hair up showed all the parts where hair was thinning out. I didn't want to go through that again as I am starting to enter the postpartum hair loss phase. I got a bob shorter than the one in your picture but long enough that I can still put up in a tiny ponytail. Pretty easy to upkeep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-friendly-hairstyles#post-7151 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 22:43:01 +0000 sandsandmore 7151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a post-baby chop at 9 months...but not necessarily by choice. Yes my son was always pulling my hair if it was down, but I mostly wore it back. What pushed me to cut it was that the ends were just so damaged that I couldn't brush it without losing a ton of hair. Now, I can brush my hair and not get it tangled....it's hair, it'll grow back thankfully. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-friendly-hairstyles#post-7132 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 19:29:11 +0000 Rubies 7132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mrs. Bee, I was JUST thinking about this today! My problem is that I always put my hair in a ponytail because it's just easier but I need to feel more human again and want to indulge in a proper hair cut or digiperm. My only concern is that at 3months post partum, I'm wondering about the mega hair loss I'm sort of expecting. Should I wait for my hair to fall out and then get an awesome haircut? BTW, I LOVE the long bob! I want one, but my hair is SO thick that it couldn't lay straight and beautiful. I'm thinking perm OR a shorter, thinned out, lotsa layers bob.</p> <p>I did a postwedding chop and ultimately hated it because it was cut too short in a style that wasn't easy to maintain. I'm in desperate want of a post baby chop...Just have to decide what.</p> <p>If YOU decide, let us know, so that I can just copy you. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-friendly-hairstyles#post-7127 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 18:17:40 +0000 Mrs. Bee 7127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need a more mom friendly hairstyle. I have bangs right now which I like because it makes you look like you have some sort of hairstyle even when your hair is up. But they're always in my face so I wear headbands and am going to grow them out.</p> <p>I was considering getting a digital perm because I don't have time to blow dry my hair straight like I used to. Or perhaps a long bob like this?</p> <p><a href="http://short-bobhairstyles.com/long-bob-hairstyle-gwyneth-paltrow.html/gwyneth-paltrow-hairstyle-bob-2" rel="nofollow">http://short-bobhairstyles.com/long-bob-hairstyle-gwyneth-paltrow.html/gwyneth-paltrow-hairstyle-bob-2</a></p> <p>I need something that's low maintenance.</p> <p>Many women do a post wedding chop. Are you going to do a post baby chop? Do you have mom friendly hair? </p>
