Easy Mom Hairstyles 3 Ways

I am working with Eva NYC on this beauty series but all thoughts and photography are my own. 

Easy Mom Hairstyles- Moming is hard no matter if you have babies, tweens, college age kids, you stay at home or you’re working out of the home…it’s all just hard. The thing I’ve learned over the past five years of being a mom, is that getting ready seriously improves my day. The first thing I do when I wake up, no matter what, is to make my bed. One tiny task accomplished first thing sets me up on a good path for the day. After having breakfast with my family before my husband heads off to work, feeding the baby and unloading the dishwasher it’s finally ‘me time’ while my baby naps. I take advantage of this time to speed shower, put on normal clothes and do my hair.

Eva NYC Primer- Feeling like you're running on empty? Self Love

In this season of my life I’m often wearing my hair up keeping it out of reach of the super grip of my babe. While a ponytail is super easy and quick I felt like it was so boring! recently discovered Eva NYC and have been using them while doing my self love care as well as my daughter’s hair. I really love the 10-1 Primer because it’s light on my hair but has so many benefits like detangling, reducing frizz, strengthens hair, softens, cuts drying time, adds shine, nourishes, smooths, and protects against thermal and UV damage. I always use the primer when I blow dry and straighten my hair. Lately I’ve been using the dry shampoo to help hold my style. I have thick hair but once I blowdry and straighten it can fall out of a style easily. The dry shampoo helps give it some texture to hold any teasing or braids I put in my hair.

Once I’ve got my hair prepped I usually resort to one of three hairstyles that will keep my hair out of my face for my day ahead.

  1. High Bun (playful style that you can switch up with different bows)
  2. Braided Crown Pony (perfect for hair that needs washed)
  3. French Braided Bun (can be used to transition to a girls night out)

High Bun

The High Bun couldn’t be easier. If you have fine hair you can always use a bun sock to make your actual bun bigger. I like to use wraps or bows to something extra to this classic look. Sometimes I’ll pull out a few strands and curl them if I’m going somewhere nice.

Braided Crown Pony

This could not be easier and it’s incredibly hard to mess up. Mine is not a true crown braid as I do not wrap the braid around but rather start at a very exaggerated part and braid down both sides of my head. I then pull the braid to make it bigger, wrap an elastic making a low braid and wrap extra hair around my elastic.

French Braided Bun

If you’re nervous about braids, don’t be. As you can see, mine are rarely perfect but they still do a great job holding my hair back and get lots of compliments. Practice while you’re watching TV and soon you’ll get really good. My biggest tip is to not use a mirror. With this braid I simply teased the top of my hair, braided it back down my head and wrapped the end in a bun. Stays secure but doesn’t give my the headache that I sometimes get with a high bun. I will wear this style in lieu of a french twist because I still can’t get that one down.

I think the Eva NYC mini healthy heat pro-power dryer and mini healthy heat ceramic flat iron are the cutest things ever. They’re so perfect for when we travel to Chicago every other month to visit my in-laws. I love that the blow dryer comes with a diffuser as well as a director. The tourmaline-infused ceramic components radiate far-infrared heat and emit negative ions, which lock in moisture, eliminate frizz and speed up the drying process. Also, finding Eva NYC couldn’t be easier. They’re now at Meijer! Super easy to pick up more of my favorite Eva NYC products while I’m shopping with the girls. I’m actually planning on getting a few sets of these travel sized tools to give to my girl friends for Christmas!
