You want what you can’t have, and you’ll be fantasizing about the braids you could’ve done as soon as you chop your hair off. Then, of course, I couldn’t just cut it all off, I was growing my hair out! Say hello to months of ugly hair and me not taking any frickin’ pictures.Īs much as you don’t think you care, you’ll miss the flexibility longer hair allows. My short style had me straightening my hair almost every day, and my ends were fried in no time. And you’re still short on hair-styling time. I wasn’t shocked when I couldn’t throw my hair up in a bun on a bad hair day, but I was shocked when I couldn’t just dry-and-go. It might not be as low-maintenance as you’re hoping. We need to be taking care of our confidence as well as our babes. Don’t give yourself a reason to hate your hair, too. It’s tough enough to look in the mirror and see an extra 20 pounds waiting to find their way back to hell. I’d hate for you to hate it and be stuck wishing you’d waited. Maybe you’ll love it, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Hold off on adding another big adjustment to your day-to-day life. But I can be impulsive when it comes to decisions… I suggest you wait until after the first year. If you’re like me, then whenever you damn well please. I think it’s a way for a new mom to find her new self. In everyday terms, we want a mom bob for the promises of shorter drying time, simpler styling, and less opportunity for baby to rip it off our heads…! In addition to our current style being less important than meeting baby’s needs. Women with short hair look more mature and sophisticated.A high-maintenance hairstyle isn’t a high priority (not with sleep in short supply).taking care of a baby is more important than your former identity and style.Obviously it’s a thing that most moms do, right? Of course we want to join the ranks and follow the advice so many other moms have followed. So we assume it’s time to make that change public knowledge and ride off into the sunset of minivans and playdates. It’s hard to balance the needs of a newborn with our pre-baby selves. Once you get a handle on baby-wrangling, and you realize that you’ve spent months caring about nothing but a tiny person, you see yourself in a different light.
#LONG TO WEDGE HAIRCUT FULL#
But a full answer is: after the postpartum haze fades (about 3-9 months after birth). It’s silly, but that’s the only way the world sees a woman’s hair after she has kids. I think any drastic cut within the first year is a result of mom brain, thus titled “the mom bob”.Īny less-demanding-do after bringing home baby is considered a mom bob. But the general consensus is, a mom haircut is a short, low maintenance style which moms adopt after they get sick of a perpetual messy bun. There’s the bob, the long bob ( lob), the pixie, the Kate Gosselin, and several other styles. What makes the cut? I’m sorry, I’ll stop. It’s anything shoulder length or shorter. But I want you to hear what I wish I heard before I lost 10+ inches to mom brain. Maybe I’m still recovering from the trauma of chopping off my locks at the 8-month mark (I totally am). Maybe you think I’m being dramatic, maybe you’ve already decided to join the soccer mom squad and just want someone to reassure your decision. Getting a haircut is one thing, but drastically altering your appearance should be avoided during the turbulent postpartum period.
I won’t make you dig, I’m here to tell you to put it off, at least until after the first birthday. New moms are already overwhelmed with a thousand questions and concerns, here’s what you need to know before you get that haircut. The mom bob seems like a rite of passage.
