The Mom Ponytail

"mom ponytail"
noun. the only hairstyle that meets all the requirements of motherhood.
also the only hairstyle you'll find me in for the foreseeable future.

Requirements:

1. No post-shower style time or products. Let's be serious, it's hard enough to set aside 15 minutes to get showered and dressed. 
2. Takes less than 30 seconds from start to finish. Baby doesn't even know she was put down before you pick her back up.
3. Can be done without a mirror. also while driving, during dinner, in the park, with a shark.
4. Keeps from becoming a spit rag for spit up and projectile vomit. and hides whatever goodies already got in it.
5. Minimizes baby's ability to tug on hair. but you know she'll find a way.
6. Looks presentable in public. even if the rest of you doesn't.
7. Works with all hair types and [most] lengths. except the buzz cut - which may actually be the better haircut for standing up to motherhood, the military knows best.
8. Goes with every outfit. whether you're dressed for a jog in the park or dinner out. but let's be honest, you wont be going anywhere fancy for a very long time.
9. Hides grease build up. no time to shower? no shampoo? no problem.

Wear it loud. Wear it proud.
