It's hard enough for us mom's to find time for a pedicure and highlights, keeping up with what's hot off the runway is a whole other ball game.. or is it? Looking and feeling great doesn't have to be difficult! Don't have time to style your hair? Drop the hair tie. You can now put in the effort without feeling guilty, or showing up late!

Fabulous (and easy) waves are hitting the runways. You can get the lush look in about 10 minutes.

1. While your hair is still slightly wet, apply a bit of Moroccan Oil or a similar product to smooth your ends. Do not apply at the root. This will create an oily looking scalp. If you accidentally do apply oil to the scalp, don't panic! You can fix it with a bit of dry shampoo.

2. Blow dry your hair. If your hair tends to look flat, try blow drying while your head is upside down.

3. Using a clip, part your hair half up and half down. If you have thick hair you will need to part into smaller sections.

4. Using a thin flat iron, start at the root and then twist the hair through the flat iron. Keep twisting, all the way down. Do this all the way across until you have waved/curled all the hair that is down, then part again and repeat. For a more red carpet look, twist away from the face. For a tousled, beach look, twist away and toward the face.

5. Spritz with your favorite flexible hairspray. Voila! Your hair looks perfect for a spring red carpet.. or the beach!
