Have you had the urge yet? You know, to cut your hair short…make it more manageable…make it less of a time suck every morning.

Every pregnant woman I know, and new mom, has made one change or another to their hair style in an effort to find the effortless hair they have always wanted. In my experience, short hair does not work on everyone and can take on the dreaded “mom hair” description about fifty percent of the time.

Here are some recent moms who made the cut successfully:

On the fence about cutting your hair but want a change? Think about adding bangs like Selma Blair did, especially if you have been wearing your hair in a ponytail or bun lately. Bangs can frame the face beautifully and only take minutes to style.
