"The phrase 'working mother' is redundant.
" (Jane Sellman) How true! Being a mother is arguably one of the toughest jobs out there.
The work load doubles for working moms, super women like you who have to juggle being career women with a myriad of other roles.
Like being a parent, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a domestic diva and inevitably, a take-over-everything working machine that wastes no time thinking about your own well-being.
With so much going on, it's so easy to lose yourself in all the roles you have to play.
Looking your best may not be a number one priority anymore, but who says you have to sacrifice much for a little more oomph in your style? Here are simple tricks to adding some flair to your hair in a jiffy.
MAKE WAVES Those gorgeous loose waves that Hollywood's favorite females pull off so easily is actually something you can pull off easily! It's quick and simple: while your hair is damp, braid it before going to bed.
Voila! You'll wake up with beach-worthy waves.
Tip: braid your hair tightly so it won't get frizzy.
ALL ACCESS If you really want to take the easy way out, then hair accessories are the way to go.
Just pick a style you fancy then clip it on your hair and you've added instant flair to an otherwise blah hair style.
And you're just in time.
Ultra feminine hair accessories are quickly becoming in vogue again, as seen on trend-setters like Lady Gaga, Nicole Richie and Leighton Meester, and even on the runways of Marc Jacobs.
Make sure that those hair accessories can keep up with your hectic day.
Choose hair clips that are guaranteed non-slip.
No, non-slip clips are not just for babies.
In fact, with a schedule as busy as yours, you're bound to move around a lot more than a baby.
All the more that you need hair clips that stay put all day! They're not just for flair but also to keep your hair from getting in your way.
There are tons of designs to choose from; whichever suits your personal style.
For a little mom and me bonding moment, you can even choose a clip for your little one that matches yours! I'm sure your little girl (or any sweet girl in your life) would adore them as baby gifts.
SHORT AND SIMPLE If you don't like your hair getting in the way, try a shorter hair style.
An easy-to-maintain choice is a sleek bob, which is fashion-forward too.
Try looking at the very posh Victoria Beckham for bob-inspiration.
She keeps it very simple and yet manages to still be stylish.
AIR HEAD You're a busy woman; of course you don't have time to blow dry! But don't let the bad-hair-day monster get to you.
Just let your hair air dry instead.
Did you know that when your hair dries naturally, it's much stronger than when dried with a blow dryer? Not only is it a stress-free solution, it gives you extra shine too! The oil from your scalp helps hair look shinier.
SLEEP ON IT You don't always have to run to a salon for all your hair 911s.
You can do plenty of great deep conditioning treatments right at the comfort of home.
Choose a leave-in deep conditioning treatment and let it do the work for you while you sleep!
