Whether you are a stay-at-home mom or a working mom, busy as a word is quite synonymous to #momlife. I am a work-from-home mom, and as convenient it sounds to be one, my struggle with time is real and an unavoidable one. Juggling between work and kids, I don’t find myself even finishing my lunch in peace, let alone trying a new hairstyle. As much I want to look good, I barely get enough time to spend on my hair.
It wasn’t the same before kids. I would pay proper attention to hair care. Regular oiling and hair massage was a weekly affair. However things changed as I delivered twins. Even combing hair everyday looks like a luxury that I rarely get to enjoy. And I am sure I am not alone in this – it’s an every mom’s story!
I always had a penchant for trying something new with my tresses. Lack of time but my love for trendy hair styles made me do a quick research on some easy hairstyles options that I can try in less than five minutes.
In case you are looking for some simple yet trendy hairstyling options, you will surely find these tips handy. Be it casual dinners or formal parties, these would save a lot of time and suit all occasions.
Quick 5-Minute Hairstyles For Busy Moms
1. Formal Pony Tails
Pony tails are simple and not always boring. They take two-minutes and look super stylish. Try a high-up pony tail instead of a low-lying one and glam it up with few shining or colorful side pins.
2. Top Knot
This gives the face a perfect lift and looks trendy with both ethnic and formal wear. Simply tie your hair on the top of your head and twist it in the form of a bun. Use lots of hair pins to secure it. You can leave a few strands fall out from the front for extra styling.
3. Funky Hair Bands
This one is my personal favorite. Hair bands look funky and stylish. Use a plain colorful one for casual dressing or a sequined stylish ones with pearls or swarovski for formal parties. You can also try a beautiful tiara for further innovation. Hair bands are a great way to glam up the otherwise dull hair
4. Wigs and Hair Extensions
Why wigs and extensions, you ask? They are convenient, easy-to-use and stylish. If you want to experiment with your looks, wigs can come in handy. They can make you look like a diva instantly without causing any damage to your natural hair. You can find high quality wigs online at affordable prices. One site that I know of is Divatress which offers a large variety of black hair care products. They have a huge collection of wigs for hispanics, available in various colors, length, textures and styles.
5. Bandanas and Head Scarves
Bandanas and Scarves as a hair accessory never go out of fashion. They can add a lot of charm to any look or outfit. Use it as a bow or a headband or wrap a bun under it, they would only add to the style factor. And oh, not to forget also hide the greasy, unwashed ‘mom’ hair!
6. Casual Half-Tie
This is one of the super quick and easy-to-do hairstyles for busy moms. Leave a few strands from the front and pull the top section of your hair (from ears to the crown) and tie them at the back using an elastic band. Once set just roll them on the inside and let the lower section fall open.
7. Beachy Waves
Give yourself a break from the flat normal texture and try waves that are actually quite easy to do. Once you take a shower, divide your wet hair in 5 or 6 sections and twist them up until they become tight. Leave them like that for sometime and let them dry naturally. Once dried up loosen the hair and you will find the natural waves doing their trick.

Great list for those who dont have time for elaborate styling (like myself, being a toddler mom ??)! Except for the wig I’ve tried everything else. ?
Pony tail is my all time favorite. I have naturally wavy hair so putting a fancy hairband also works for me.
pony tail , bun and hairband are my all time fav i alternate these for change…and i so so so agee that combing hair day is a luxury which i can’t afford and oiling has gone for a toss..
Pony Tail is always my favorite. After marriage, it is changed to permanent top knot style :p

Like most people the ponytail is my most preferred option. I have frizzy hair converted to straight hair so I don’t have too many options to style my hair. I would love to try the beach waves though.
Must needed post for busy moms, I do pony tail and half-tie generally, but hair scarves is good option too.
