My husband, bless his heart, says I look “hot.” My kids all said they like it. I want to never, ever leave the house again, at least until it grows out.<\/p>\n

\"\"

I know how incredibly shallow I sound. I know there are still homeless people and world hunger is still an issue and all that. I know my hair will grow again and I can try and style it different ways and maybe in a few weeks I can get highlights or something to make me feel less dumpy. But I’m still all depressed about this.<\/p>\n

My cute little twinsets and pearls that I used to wear that made me feel all Mad Men-esque and retro bombshell-y? Now I look like Betty Draper<\/strong>\u00a0when she dyed her hair dark, but the frumpy older version. Now I look like my style is conducive to lunching at the country club and clipping coupons.<\/p>\n

\"\"

And no, you can’t see it.<\/p>\n

I never realized how much my hair was important to my own personal MOM IMAGE until I got most of it cut off. It is now chin-length. It has always been down to my shoulders or longer. Before haircut, when I felt super dumpy or gross and my jeans looked bad or my eyes looked tired I could always hot roller my hair and tease it to heaven and feel like an insta-vixen. Now I just gotta wait for it to grow.<\/p>\n

I don’t care how moms look. I think every mom is gorgeous in her own way and should look however she wants and I hate the whole conversation about how a mom should or shouldn’t look. I just know personally that when I googled “mom hair” for this article and the above image came up, I wanted to cry. I’m a mom. You can tell by my haircut.<\/p>\n
