For years, I have been one who alternates the length of my tresses regularly. Each time it grows long, I get sick of it and look forward to a fresh look. But when I got the snip, I longed for my long tresses. Women are fickle-minded, aren’t they? Then when the pandemic emerged, I started to work from home. Thinking that I am not really seeing my colleagues and saw no need to dress up, I thought a nice hairstyle is not important. But I was so wrong. My spent time on the view cam increases and it matters more to me how I look on screen. This is especially so when there is not much movement to flaunt my tresses, plus the big ear cushions of the headset could make my look unflattering. I begin to pay attention to my mane. So then, what hairstyles work for Work From Home Mums?
1. Time-Saver Styles
Ever since I work from home continuously, I wear multiple hats in a day. I need to do house chores, fetch kids, check-in on them while working full time and attend meetings from morning to late night. Sometimes I get a last minute notice to turn on my camera for a meeting, and I need to run to the mirror, comb my mane with my fingers, change a bit of parting, put some styling cream to make my tresses look presentable. Having ‘easy-to-manage’ hair is all the more important than before. Depending on what kind of look you like, choose one that you can manage easily in a jiffy with minimal hassle.
2. Versatile Styles
I find that I can don a variety of looks with long tresses. At work, I can let them down so that my face does not look too big with the headset on compared to tying my locks up. Doing house chores, I can tie it into a slightly messy bun to have a little more sassy look to hide my tired face after work. At the park, I can tie it into a ponytail that swings about when I run. After work, I can let my tresses down, curl it a little, or put on a nice hairband to meet my friends. There are simply more options with a longer length and it makes it fun too. It is pretty essential to have a hairstyle that varies for different occasions.
3. Easy Maintenance
The most difficult hairstyle to maintain, to me, must be a layered shoulder length. It not only tends to curl out unsightly, it is unpredictable and hard to tame. I would not be able to tie it all up due to the uneven lengths too. If I needed to tame it by curling the ends every morning, it takes up time which I am just not one who likes such hassle. I do like to snip it short for the sake of easy maintenance. It not only saves shampooing time, my bottle of shampoo can last more weeks. Moreover, we need to highly consider the extremely humid weather in Singapore. Short length helps to keep the scalp healthier by not stressing it with unnecessary weight. Long tresses do require little maintenance too if you are lazy like me. I can tie it up all day, let it grow long and visit the salon infrequently every 4-6 months. It really depends on one’s lifestyle and character. If you are a trendy mum, likely you take more effort to upkeep your image. Then it is down to understanding your hair well to derive the most efficient maintenance routine.
4. Complement with Accessories
I find that working from home gives me less chance to show off my hairstyle. You do not have much chance to let your colleagues see the different styles, what accessories are pinned behind your head, unless you show them your back of the head on the camera. But that does not mean you should throw away all your accessories and revert to black bands, black scrunchies and pins like you were back in school days. The deprivation of feeling pretty with more time spent at home can push me to splurge on pretty dresses, tops, beauty essentials and unnecessary accessories. These gave me feel-good moments akin to wearing beautiful and expensive lingerie but only I get to see it. Why not invest in some lovely clips, pins, ties or bands that can adorn your look even if your audience may only be your family members, or neighbours. It helps to create a quick transformation to an otherwise boring look. Most importantly, it does give you a good feeling to feel pretty.
5. Pampering Yourself at Yoon Salon
With more time spent at home and not meeting friends and colleagues often, it is still important to go to the salon to continue maintaining a healthy scalp and upkeep your image. Recently I came across Yoon Salon which is a premium and leading hair salon in Singapore. If you are new to them, I urge you to visit their website and you will be impressed with their free tips column. They have various articles that educate us on what would suit different face shapes, how a salon would prep for the wedding day, what are the differences between hot and cold perms and why you should care for your tresses. I learnt a great deal from the article that spoke about varying styles for different face shapes. I even took out a measuring tape to measure my forehead, length and width of my face to check what kind of styles would suit my round face.
