Alright, moms, let’s talk about the hair dilemma we all face at some point; the pressure to chop off our long locks once we enter the realm of motherhood.
When I was pregnant with my first son, my mother-in-law became my unofficial hair advisor. She insisted that cutting my hair was the way to go. Now, I love and respect her, but the thought of parting with my glorious hair extensions made me shed a tear or two. Sorry, Mom-in-Law, the Rapunzel life chose me!
My Signature Look
Fast forward to my second child, and I finally get why everyone’s so keen on shorter hairstyles. Seriously, have you ever experienced the death grip of a baby clinging to your precious hair like it’s a game of tug-of-war? It’s like they have a secret mission to transform your luscious locks into their personal playground.
One of the reasons people give for chopping off their hair is the fear of looking older and weighing their face down. I mean, who wants to be mistaken for the mom who’s actually older than she looks from behind? Not me! But here’s the thing—I refuse to let go of my youthful vibes just because I’m a mom. I’m determined to rock my long hair and show the world that age is just a number
Being a mom means life definitely gets a little crazier. Time becomes a scarce commodity, and hair maintenance can feel like an Olympic event. But you know what? I’m up for the challenge. Who needs sleep when you have fabulous hair, am I right? I might have a baby clinging to my mane, but I’ll rock that messy mom bun like a pro.
Now, I can’t help but wonder how long I can keep up this long hair gig. Will there come a day when I’ll have to wave goodbye to my flowing locks? Well, maybe. But until that day arrives, I’m going to enjoy the freedom and fun that comes with my lengthy tresses. Heck, I’m even considering getting 32 inch long extensions so long they go down to my butt! #MomLifeGoal
Who says we have to chop it all off? Long hair can be our superpower, our secret weapon in the adventure of parenting. Embrace your locks, handle the baby tugs like a champ, and remember—motherhood shouldn’t mean sacrificing our personal style. Long hair, don’t care, and let’s keep rocking this mom life in our own fabulous way!
