I always wondered why Mums suddenly seem to stop worrying about how they look- until I became one! It's not that we don't care, it's just that we don't have time to care!

With style conscious celeb mums like Charlize Theron and Beyonce going for the chop after their kids are born, it shows that even mothers with nannies and other help want to save time by cutting hair styling from their daily list!
 

I seriously considered hacking it all off and going for a pixie cut but my face just isn't symmetrical enough. No big lips and almond eyes to carry it off. So I went for loads of layers and it ended up a bit like the 90's Rachel cut- but at least no styling required. See below:
