Before I embraced the beautiful chaos of motherhood, my style was always on point—everything from my outfits to my hair was meticulously curated. I had actual hairstyles, not just a hasty bun on top of my head (though I do rock a top knot like a pro). Fast forward to now, and my hair situation is the complete opposite of trendy. Each morning, I face the dilemma of either getting my kids ready on time or actually styling my hair. Spoiler alert: I usually choose the kids. Unless I want to wake up at an ungodly hour, I find myself looking like I just survived a storm by the time I hit the coffee shop.
I’ll admit, I do miss being fashionable, but my priority has shifted to ensuring my little ones are presentable, or at least dressed in clothing that fits them—no small feat. And don’t even get me started on how quickly their nails grow! If only there was a way to sport the hottest hairstyles of the season with minimal effort.
Well, it turns out, there is! Blake Lively is setting the trend that exhausted moms like me have been dreaming of: bedhead. Yes, you read that right! During her recent appearance at Ralph Lauren’s Spring 2019 show, Lively dazzled in a stunning three-piece suit, topped off with a chic top hat and cane. But it wasn’t just her outfit that caught everyone’s attention; it was her hair! Instead of her usual glamorous waves, she flaunted a carefree, tousled look that exuded that delightful “I-just-rolled-out-of-bed” vibe. I mean, that’s my everyday aesthetic!
While Lively likely had a stylist who expertly crafted her disheveled charm, let’s be honest—most of us have been perfecting this look for years through sleepless nights. Imagine how much cooler I’ll feel during school drop-off, twinning with Blake rather than looking like someone who’s been roughing it in the woods for months. Sure, I might be getting a bit carried away, but the acceptance of bedhead as a fashionable hairstyle is revolutionary for moms everywhere. We may not bring the fanciest treats to bake sales or have the tidiest homes, but hey, now we can at least have hair that complements our busy lives.
