It almost seems like a rite of passage: become a mom; get a bad "mom cut." You know the one -- the short hairstyle that's way too short and not flattering for your face shape. The one you got on an "I need a change!" whim.
Hey, I get it. You're suddenly busier than you've ever been, which means zero time to create polished, bombshell waves. So what do you do? You tell me... or your stylist, to chop it all off and give you a short cut that's wash and go.
The problem is that "wash and wear" short hair can be really tough to pull off. The secret is getting a short hairstyle that works with your hair's natural texture. It can take a few trail and error cuts to get that perfect short hair look! Maybe that's the excuse for Kate Gosselin's reverse mullet, Sharon Osbourne's feathered mess, or Katherine Heigl's granny bob?
Thankfully, some moms have sailed through new mommyhood without getting the prerequisite awful short haircut. Just look at Michelle Williams' amazing pixie, Reese Witherspoon's gorgeous layers, and Michelle Obama's chic bob. Short hairstyles don't get much better than these.
So, to celebrate Mother's day, I decided to take a fun look back at some of the most famous triumphs and cringe-worthy mishaps in mom-haircut history.

Worst
There are no words to describe how bad this is! It's basically 2 haircuts mereged into one! Cant believe it lasted as long as it did!
I dont think Hillary Clinton's hair has ever changed... ever! Haha! This Carol Brady inspired hair needs to go back to the 80's! And she was seen recently wearing a scrunchy!
Sharon Osbourne proves you can have too much of a good thing. Her cut has too many layers, which can look frizzy. Although I do like her red hair!! :)
A stiff, voluminous cut can sometimes have a granny vibe. Thick hair that is cut into heavy layers can require a lot of curling to add texture and movement. She should stick with hair below her chin!

Audrey Hepburn may have made the pixie famous, but Michelle Williams' modern interpretation is a refreshing take on the style. If I had the guts... I do this in a heartbeat!
She is always looks so put together! Michelle Obama always looks so classy and elegant in her minimal layered cut.
Moms don't always have to opt for above-the-shoulders styles. Reese Witherspoon's medium-length hairstyle is simple and youthful. This girl never looks bad!
This is a fun, sassy haircut that is pretty low maintience! Can't commit to the bangs? This cut looks great parted down the side with no fringe! (Yea... sometimes I like to sound fancy and use the word fringe instead of bangs!)
Hope you all have a wonderful Mothers Day! Cant wait to go down and see my mama... my brother and I are surprising her with a fun filled day! So excited!!
