I started Mamalicious Monday way back in the day. Okay, so when I say way back I mean July 2008 when I started The Posh Parent. My good bloggy friend, Danielle covered all things Mama fashion related. I then took it to another level and started a dance segment on New Baby. Now, with being a GLAMBASSADOR {yes, it must be in caps because it is that amazing} I decided to take it to another level and make it a "Tips & Tricks to being Mamalicious"
Where better to start then at the top? Your hair, girlfriends. Glamour's website has a great slide show of 39 Gorgeous New Hair Ideas that you must check out for some inspiration.

When I was in 6th grade I was voted "Best Hair". I only wish I had some rad picture to show you how wonderful my hair was. Actually, let me paint you a picture...I had long dark hair down to my mid-back and it was curly. Not the spiral curls like Mariah Carey had in the 90's, no I had curly as is poodle curly hair. I had spiral curly hair and decided it would be better if I got a perm! Someone {like my MOM!} should have stopped me. Nonetheless, I styled the heck out of my hair. I worked it so that it actually looked cool to have overly curly hair. Thank GOD it grew out and relaxed. Several girls actually got perms, too! I guess I started a trend in a way...enough so that they awarded me.
One of my style tips has always been "comb your hair before you leave your house". Even if you are just taking out the trash. Think about it, what if you left your house to take out the trash, your door closes behind you and you are locked out of your house? What do you do? Try to find a window to crawl into? Umm, yeah lady with the crazy hair crawling through a window...nice! Or, better yet you go to run a few errands and bump into an old friend. "Nice to see you again, Clarissa! So, what have you been up to lately? Let me guess...you have kids!" :) Please don't go around looking like you let your 5 year old comb your hair. All it takes is a little mousse, gel, pomade or hair pins and a hair tie and you can get something decent in a few minutes!
I will post a short video later this week to show you a few variations of a quick "do".

Love your blog! I'm soooo with you here! I will NEVER go out even if it's just to take out the trash without fixing my hair or smearing on a dab of lipstick or balm. :) Got to look your best...you never know where prince charming is...lol
Those hairstyles are so pretty! I wish my hair was long enough!
I love to wear my hair up (I mean, it's all I have time for, really. feh) But I would love to change it up. How do you create sorta a little bump at the front? I try teasing but it doesn't stay. Any tips?
I love these tips! I am one of those that just does not leave the house without my hair done and at the very least some lip gloss. I used to sport an uber chic short do but have let my hair grow shoulder length so when I don't feel good I can run a comb through it and still look good.
BTW- cute blog design!
I was "most stylish" in 8th grade but the prize was some sweat socks... not cool!
My hair has totally changed texture since the birth of my second child and I don't know what to do with it anymore. The last time I dyed it, I got a horrible reaction, too. So much for my glamorous life.
