It seems that everywhere you look, politics in America has the whole world on the edge of their seats. Not only is it touted to be a monumental election featuring two very dynamic and very different candidates, one vice-presidential candidate has been getting her fair share of the limelight as well. This candidate is none other than Sarah Palin, the heretofore unknown Alaska governor who was suddenly thrust into the frontline of the consciousness of everyone who has been following this election saga.
Sarah Palin has her moments, but in almost every picture since she first came out, she has been sporting the ubiquitous updo. Now, seeing updos on celebrities who tread upon the red carpet is hardly surprising, but the simple fact that someone as busy as Palin, who has her gubernatorial duties, her 'hockey mom' duties, and the rigors of the campaign, could sport an elegant updo gives hope to women everywhere.
How does Sarah do it? The answer is simple: choose a quick and easy updo to wear. Busy moms usually start their day early to cook breakfast, get their kids ready for school, and get themselves ready for work. The latter is often neglected. But this need not happen any longer.
Here are three quick and easy updos that would fit various hair lengths and textures.
For short-haired moms, it's best to find accessories that would help you pull your hair back. One such accessory is an elastic band with teeth attached to them. You can style your hair in such a way that it will produce very fine curls, and use this band/comb to push your hair towards the crown of your head. This is already a simple but very elegant updo, and it wouldn't take longer than 10 minutes (minus the time it takes for curling) to do. You can simply leave the rollers in your hair as you prepare the kids' meals and wake them up.
For medium-length hair, prepare it by curling as well. Pull half of your hair from your face and secure it with a rubber band into a half-ponytail. Take the rest of the hair into your hands, twist it, and pull it upwards. The curls should now be visible from the top of your head. Secure with bobby pins.
For moms with long hair, gather your hair into a low ponytail at the top of your nape. Using two fingers, take one third of your hair from the top of your ponytail and gently pull. Make sure that the curl you made doesn't droop; secure it with bobby pins. Split the remaining sections of your hair into two and roll each one towards the ponytail. By doing so, you produce two other curls that sit directly beneath the first curl you made. Secure the new curls with bobby pins and finish by spreading the curls around your nape.
For busy moms, nothing is more valuable than time. Don't spend longer than necessary in styling your hair. Sarah Palin and other high-profile moms around the world have discovered how to look beautiful even while having so much on their hands. Why not show them that you can do it too?
