Mamas are constantly busy—we’re usually running around taking care of everyone else so finding a moment for ourselves is almost impossible. That doesn’t mean you can’t rock cute mom hair! The best hairstyles for moms don’t take more than just a few minutes.

Hairstyles for moms won’t take up any of your precious time (we know you’re busy!). Most of these styles come together in just a few minutes. So, no matter where you are on your motherhood journey—whether you’re looking for postpartum hairstyles or a timeless look for a busy afternoon at the waterpark—pull off a trendy look without spending too much time on it.

I don’t know about you but my hair pins and scrunchies go missing ALL OF THE TIME. I have one trusty hair tie and I’m usually digging in the bottom of my purse for pins. Scroll down for a few hair accessories to add to your cart.

9 easy hairstyles for moms

1. Top knot

A top knot is a classic go-to that’s perfect for every occasion. Spice it up with a scarf or a thick, colorful scrunchy.

2. Headband braid

Braids are the easiest hairstyles for moms on-the-go. While you’re waiting in line at the drive-thru or watching your child practice tying their shoes, grab a few strands and get going.

3. Double low buns

There’s nothing wrong with a messy bun but if you’re looking to switch things up then, try double low buns instead. Part your hair, twist each side into a low bun and secure it with pins. Leave a couple strands out in the front for a wispy look.

4. Scarf headband

If you’ve got two minutes and a scarf then you can pull together this look. Simply, sweep your hair back using the scarf and tie it on the nape of your neck.

5. Statement pins

A high pony is an easy look for any type of hair—no matter how old it is. I love it for days when my curls have turned into tousled waves.

6. Braided ponytail

First, tie your hair in a ponytail. Second, braid the ponytail. That’s it and that’s all! Channel your inner “Katniss” with this super easy and super cute look.

7. Chignon

The chignon is a classic look that’s basically a low bun or low knot. It can be as messy or sleek as you want it to be.

8. Statement hair pins

Statement hair pins are pretty and eye-catching. I’m partial to pearls but there are so many styles you can choose from. They especially come in handy for postpartum hairstyles when you’ve got baby hair sticking out everywhere.

9. Claw clip

The claw clip is having a moment. Sweep your hair back in a trendy claw clip for a nostalgic and effortless look.
