What exactly is a Mom-cut?

Why is it that when your average woman gets her hair cut short she is considered hip and daring, but when a woman who also happens to be the mother of a baby or toddler gets her hair cut short she has gotten a “mom-cut”?

I mean, let’s face it, the dirty little secret of short hair styles is that they take more effort, more time, and more energy than just slinging (possibly unwashed) long hair back into a ponytail.

And what’s so bad about a “mom-cut” anyways?

    This makes me wonder if you have cut your hair again. Any pictures?

    That is so true! I cut my hair to just the style I wore for 10 years, having only grown it out during my pregnancy and gotten tired of brushing it. Suddenly it’s a mom-cut, no matter the years I wore it when I wasn’t a mom!
