    The term “mom hair” used to evoke images of frumpy, unflattering haircuts. Thankfully, times have changed, and these negative connotations have lifted. Now, “mom hair” is considerably cooler, with so many trendy (and low-maintenance) haircuts to choose from these days. If you’re considering switching up your look, we’ve turned to some of the chicest moms we know of for haircut inspiration. From Sofia Richie Grainge’s fresh bob to Rihanna’s curly pixie cut, browse through all of the looks below.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Sofia Richie Grainge debuted a fresh, French bob. The center part and soft layering give the style that perfectly billowed look.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Long Layers <\/span><\/h2>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Long layers are always a cool look, and Cindy Crawford’s broken waves make them even more appealing. The length of this cut offers tons of versatility. No need to be a pro to get waves like Crawford\u2014sleep with some braids in and a spritz of salt spray, and you’ll wake up like this.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    03<\/span>of 19<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n

    Flippy Bob <\/span><\/h2>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Allow your bob to reach lob length to unlock more styling possibilities. For a flippy bob like this, curl your ends upward and finish with a strong-hold hairspray.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    04<\/span>of 19<\/span><\/div>\n

    Curly Pixie <\/span><\/h2>\n

    Show off your curls with a pretty pixie. You can embrace your natural texture and use a moisturizing curl cream to define your coils. Alternatively, you can achieve this style on dry hair using a small flat iron to create sculpted curls.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    If you’re looking to modernize your style, consider\u00a0an edgy mullet. You’ll definitely be the coolest mom on the block.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    06<\/span>of 19<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n

    Soft Top <\/span><\/h2>\n

    \n
    \"Jodie\"Jodie<\/div>\n<\/div>
    <\/p>\n

    @jodiesmith \/ Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Instead of opting for a super short pixie, leave a little extra length at the top. This gives you more flexibility for fun styles, like this one Jodie Turner-Smith is sporting.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    07<\/span>of 19<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n

    Wispy Bob <\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n
    \"Kris\"Kris<\/div>\n<\/div>
    <\/p>\n

    @ash_kholm \/ Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    If you have naturally thick, long hair, you might be craving a dramatic transformation. Going for a shorter length with wispy ends is sure to feel like a breath of fresh (h)air.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    08<\/span>of 19<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n

    Blunt Bob <\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n
    \"Hailey\"Hailey<\/div>\n<\/div>
    <\/p>\n

    @haileybieber \/ Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    A blunt bob is great for giving the illusion of volume, which is especially helpful if hair loss is a concern. Take styling cues from Hailey Bieber and add slight bends throughout the hair for an enhanced shape.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    09<\/span>of 19<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n

    Side-Parted Bob <\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n
    \"Halle\"Halle<\/div>\n<\/div>
    <\/p>\n

    @halleberry \/ Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    The side part has seen much debate in the last few years, but we’re resistant to the noise. A side part can offer an added boost of volume, and overall, a chin-framing bob is classically cool.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    10<\/span>of 19<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n

    Butterfly Cut <\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n
    \"Emily\"Emily<\/div>\n<\/div>
    <\/p>\n

    @emrata \/ Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    As the name suggests, a butterfly cut features short and long layers shaped to resemble the wings of a butterfly. These layers are an easy way to create movement throughout your hair and frame your face.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    11<\/span>of 19<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n

    Fallen Tendrils <\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n
    \"Tia\"Tia<\/div>\n<\/div>
    <\/p>\n

    @tiamowry \/ instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Embrace the growing out phase of your pixie cut and let your curls fall in the front, creating a sort of fringe. There’s something effortless and romantic about the shape of this textured haircut.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    12<\/span>of 19<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n

    Wispy Fringe <\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n
    \"Kerry\"Kerry<\/div>\n<\/div>
    <\/p>\n

    @kerrywashington \/ Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Wispy bangs can be paired with virtually any hair length, but work exceptionally well with long bobs. They quickly enhance the shoulder-skimming style, adding extra flair and personality.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    13<\/span>of 19<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n

    Bold Bouffant <\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n
    \"Fantasia\"Fantasia<\/div>\n<\/div>
    <\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Bouffants can add extra volume and elongate rounder face shapes. This cut and style combination may be a retro look, but its cool factor holds up (as Fantasia so beautifully proves).\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    14<\/span>of 19<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n

    Beachy Bed Head <\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n
    \"Nicole\"Nicole<\/div>\n<\/div>
    <\/p>\n

    @nicoleariparker \/ Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Color has a huge impact on the coolness of your cut. In this case, Nicole Ari Parker’s voluminous, mushroom-esque cut stands out due to its coloring. The blend of blonde and brown tones is stunning.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    15<\/span>of 19<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n

    Finger Waves <\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n
    \"Tamron\"Tamron<\/div>\n<\/div>
    <\/p>\n

    Jason Mendez \/ Getty Images<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Your pixie cut is more versatile than you may think. Finger waves are one of the many gorgeous looks you can achieve on a cropped cut\u2014add in hair jewels to further amp up the stunning style.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    16<\/span>of 19<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n

    Bleached Pixie Curls <\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n
    \"Rihanna\"Rihanna<\/div>\n<\/div>
    <\/p>\n

    Leon Bennett \/ Getty Images<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Bring a touch of bold energy to your curly cut with a vibrant color. A warm, golden blonde (like Rihanna’s) is an option worth considering.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    17<\/span>of 19<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n

    ’90s Bob <\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n
    \"A\"A<\/div>\n<\/div>
    <\/p>\n

    @naraaziza \/ Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Newsflash: ’90s bobs are cool again. Take a page out of the decade and try a flippy bob similar to Nara Smith’s.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    18<\/span>of 19<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n

    Low-Maintenance Length <\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n
    \"Emma\"Emma<\/div>\n<\/div>
    <\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    A feathered pixie is one of the best low-maintenance haircuts you could ask for. Its soft, piece-y edges do all the heavy lifting. For busy moms who need a stylish haircut that is easy to manage, this is the perfect option.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    19<\/span>of 19<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n

    Tapered Bob <\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n
    \"Gabrielle\"Gabrielle<\/div>\n<\/div>
    <\/p>\n

    @paintedbyesther \/ Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    If you thought a tapered bob was a dated Y2K haircut, think again. This style has it all: the short, tapered sides, the softly rounded shape, the face-framing length.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
