Busy Mom…Great Hair - The shortcuts I use to get there!            

Being a busy mom and running a business is not easy task.  It is crazy sometimes and if I am not careful I will walk out of the house with two non-matching shoes on my feet!

I am in the hair business so it is important my hair look relatively presentable while I am at work.  It that isn’t always easy! I have lots of hair and thankfully am not losing much density yet.  However…I still need lots of help getting great hair!

Wigs Are My Go-To Hair-do!

Wigs are always the easiest way to put on a perfect 'do quickly. I get my hair cut and done every 7-8 weeks or so, but, for that period of time where my roots have outgrown the trendy stage, wigs and top pieces are my go-to solution. 

Being part of HairURL.COM, I have access to some great wigs, extensions, and hairpieces… so I am blessed that I have the best selection to choose from. 

What I have learned… you don’t have to have the most expensive item to have a great look that makes you feel confident. I have worn it all; from the cheap wigs that cost under $100, to the top of the line human hair wigs that cost over a thousand. They can both look great on me if I make sure I have a few details covered:

(1) I always insist on a lace front wig. If I love a style that does not have lace front, I make sure it is in my hair color and I pull a bit of my own bio hair out for the front to get a totally natural hair line. A natural front hairline is the key.

(2)  Rooted color or color with highlights to create depth. This is very important! (Bonus if you find a style that has both!) The hair needs to look like it grew out of your scalp and solid colors are less apt to look natural. With wigs you are basically putting on a perfect hairdo so be sure you focus on the natural hairline and color...And if you get a wig that is shiny (as many of the more affordable wigs are), you can remedy this with some dry shampoo spray. Easy quick fix!

My closet has Styrofoam mannequin heads lined across my top shelf and I have both synthetic wigs and human hair wigs. They both have their advantages (and disadvantages) but there is nothing like being able to grab a great synthetic wig… shake it… and go!  It is the easiest 3 min of my getting ready process.  Sometimes I work late on my computer at home and get to sleep late. However, I don’t have the luxury of sleeping in. My kids morning starts early and so every minute counts!  Wigs make life fast and easy!

My favorite thing to do is changing up my hair color.  I could never dye my hair 2-3 different colors per month if it weren’t for wigs. There are some days I am picking my outfit for the day and I choose my hair color to match.  It is my favorite accessory (okay…aside from shoes…I am a shoe horse
