As a busy mom, I’m all about having quick and easy hairstyles up my sleeve. You know, styles that only take a couple of minutes to do — but that look awesome, too. Sure, it’s easy to throw your hair into a basic ponytail, but why not jazz things up a bit? With just a few braids, loops, or bobby pins you can pull off some seriously cute and easy hairstyles that will turn heads when you show up at work (or the playground, laundromat, or grocery store).
I scoured Pinterest for some inspiration, and I definitely found it. Even better, the easy hairstyles I loved the most all had simple-to-follow tutorials. Because I don’t know about you, but when it comes to doing my hair, I need all the help and guidance I can get. Take a look and see which easy hairstyle is best for you, and then learn how to pull it off in a few simple steps. Have a good hair day!
