14 Hairstyles You'll Spot on Moms
I'm pretty sure if I told anyone how much I spent on my hair, they'd spit their drink out in shock all over my face . . . and messy bun, which I rock 99 percent of the time. The thing about being a mom is that hair sometimes (read: almost always) takes a backseat to all that pesky child rearing. Kidding, kidding — I actually like to say, "Mom hair, don't care!" So because we all have our signature mom-hair moves, let's take a look at the most common styles you'll see on yourself and your fellow mamas (and I bet you'll even spot your go-to).
