When I believe of “mom hair,” I believe of my mother as well as the mothers of my buddies in the 80s, numerous of whom had some iteration of Princess Diana’s short hair style.
Seems like the present version is shorter on the sides, however with smooth, serious bangs as well as spiky knives in the back.
Even though I don’t believe I’ve had a trademark mother hair style yet (at least I can’t remember), since I truly like being able to just put my hair up into a ponytail, this skit still completely resonates with me.

I’ve likewise had mother hair on my mind lately since of this publish on Racked about mother haircuts as well as sexuality.
Here’s an excerpt:
“Having mother hair suggests that your hair as well as appearance are not your primary focus (the appropriate value, per society) since your kids are. You don’t care what you look like; you only care about your family. Hair is an afterthought that ought to be simple as well as practical. in spite of the truth that we authorize of this so-called value in moms, we still mock them for it, since mothers truly do have to have it all. Sex, sure, however not as well much, do not admit to liking it, as well as certainly don’t promote it on your head, for god’s sake. Be practical, however likewise have a sense of style — to a point, otherwise it’s vain. Be spontaneous, however don’t go nuts with that, okay? Do not squander 45 minutes putting your long hair into a challenging fishtail braid. You have to get your youngster to soccer method on time.”
I’ve never checked out into the symbolism of the mother cut that deeply before, since I’ve always just presumed that cutting one’s hair soon after having a youngster was mainly for useful reasons, however this was eye-opening!
