Every now and again I need a little hair inspiration. Something to pull me out of my bang-cutting, ponytail wearin’ routine. I pulled these four images from Pinterest and saved them on my desktop as a reminder that just because I am a workin’ mom doesn’t mean I have to lather, rinse, repeat the same look every day. Here’s what I love about each one:
You can enter the girl in the rat race but you can’t pull the hippie out of her. That’s me. I can’t let go of my boho roots and I’ve decided it’s perfectly acceptable to rock this look with a pencil skirt by day and a maxi skirt by night. Pumps to gladiators, I say!
A beautiful mess. I love that it’s actually cool and now acceptable to rat your hair and then somehow pull it back into a disheveled ponytail. People call this Parisian chic. I call it GENIUS. Just have plenty of conditioner on standby.
Oh Lauren Conrad – you did America good when you showed us the powers of a braided ponytail! And what’s even more beautiful is that no one can detect my hair is day-old-dirty with the help of one of my super hero friend – dry shampoo. **Note** this is a great do for hair that is sorely in need of a color job, too!
I saved the best for last. I’ve always admired women who sport the bed head look with ease. The “I meant for my hair to look this sexy and unkempt” appearance. For those of us who have straight hair (read: me) I think it’s just a matter of getting out of bed and literally refraining from a comb or brush. Just toss a little dry shampoo in and resist the temptation to pull it back all day. Let Mother Nature shape it how she wants. Just make sure you’re wearing a fab set of heels. Easy enough, right?
