In the fast-paced lives of modern moms, finding time for self-care can often seem like an elusive dream. Between managing household chores, work responsibilities, and taking care of children, personal beauty routines often take a backseat. This was precisely the scenario for Courtney Wilhoit, a mother of a three-and-a-half-year-old son, who is now expecting her second child. In a recent conversation with Coral Pleas, owner of Cutting Loose Salons, Courtney shared her journey towards simplifying her beauty routine, and the transformative “mommy makeover” that has made a significant difference in her life.
Courtney’s story is a common one among mothers. With a young child to care for and another on the way, she found it increasingly difficult to find time for herself. The occasional haircut or color treatment was a rare luxury. Recognizing this, Coral Pleas, alongside stylist Yesenia, decided to give Courtney a makeover that would not only enhance her appearance but also simplify her daily routine. They opted for a stylish and much easier-to-maintain haircut – a chic lob (long bob), which is currently very popular and suitable for busy moms.
The new hairstyle brought immediate benefits. Courtney noticed a significant reduction in drying and styling time, and she was using much less shampoo and conditioner, which was also a bonus for her budget. The shorter length was not only practical but also provided a fresher, more modern look. With fine hair like Courtney’s, maintaining volume and avoiding flatness can be challenging. Coral introduced her to a curved flat iron, which can be used to both straighten and curl hair, making styling quick and versatile.
In addition to the haircut, Coral emphasized the importance of using the right products to maintain the new style. For fine hair, a thermal protector is crucial when using heated styling tools. Coral recommended a thickening spray, which adds volume without making the hair crunchy, unlike traditional hairsprays. These small changes in Courtney’s routine made a significant impact, giving her a natural, sun-kissed look with minimal effort. The subtle highlights in her hair added to the low-maintenance appeal, ensuring that even if she couldn’t touch up immediately after the baby arrives, her hair would still look great.
Courtney’s experience is a reminder that sometimes, a simple change can make a big difference. For busy moms, a simplified beauty routine can be a game-changer, providing them with a little extra time to focus on themselves amidst their hectic schedules. Whether preparing for a new baby, getting ready to travel, or simply wanting to streamline daily life, a good haircut and the right products can be all it takes to feel refreshed and confident. As Courtney gets ready to welcome her second child, she does so with a great new look and the assurance that self-care is not only achievable but also essential.
