Chic and Easy Ponies for Busy Moms

Sometimes the last thing on a mom's mind is her hair. Between baseball games and bake sales, it can be hard to devote time into looking your best. A quick ponytail is a mom's best friend. But who says a ponytail should look boring and sloppy? Luckily for us, this 'do is hotter (and easier!) than ever. Here are some of our favorite chic and easy ponies for busy moms.

Messy Side Pony - This is perfect for the days when you don’t have time to wash your hair (and let’s be honest, those days happen!). Want the look but need to wash your hair? Use hairspray or dry shampoo to give it a little oomph and texture. A Cup of Jo blog gives step-by-step tips to achieving this easy style.

Double Hair Knot - Follow these simple steps from Fashionising to get this tousled double knot. The best part? You'll only need one product! This style will work perfectly for a day at the pool or sitting on the sidelines of the soccer field. Looking for a less messy version? Try smoothing your hair with a brush and swapping the sea salt spray for volumizer. Top it off with a little hairspray. Easy as that!

Do you prefer a sleeker style? We found these next two smooth styles from Hair and Make-up by Steph.

Wrapped Pony - This one easy step really goes a long way when it comes to creating a chic style. Sometimes seeing a black elastic hair band can ruin a whole look! Put your hair in a simple ponytail and then wrap a piece of hair around the elastic and secure with a bobby pin. The other PTA moms will be green with envy when they see your 'do!

Pompadour Pony - This style will leave you looking polished and doesn't require much effort. Before putting your hair up, backcomb your bang-area for volume and pin the poof without flattening it. Finish with a light mist of hairspray. Throw on some cute earrings for a pretty playdate look.
