What Has Motherhood Done to Your Hair?
I don’t even want to talk about the sad state of my tresses, post-baby. Hormones plus zero time for primping have turned me into the ponytail queen. Can you relate? Thankfully, there is a hair expert/busy mother out there who understands, and she’s given us a step-by-step tutorial on creating a ponytail that looks polished and pretty in no time at all! Sweet.
Find out how to get the most of your mom hair in minutes after the jump…
Head on over to Parlor for the full scoop on ponytail placement, maintenance, and style on her post Pony Up.

Jeanne commented on Apr 27 11 at 5:27 pmSo true that motherhood means the hair is constantly in a pony. I’m sitting here feeling a little silly I haven’t thought of using a pretty barrette in my own sad pony. I do it for my daughter, why didn’t I think of it for myself? Duh.
