When I was pregnant, not only did my hair grow at lightning speed, but I also had absolutely zero desire to deal with getting it cut. I know, right now you're in the uncomfortable position of imagining the train-wreck of my maternity style, but bear with me, I have something that could have helped me, and it can help you too if you're in the same boat.

Beautiful, affordable, easy and stylish... Handmade headbands made by Precocious. She has so many fabrics to choose from, but I'll give you the best tip of all: flip through the hundreds of headbands she's already sold. If you find one you like just email her and ask if she can make the same one for you.

I've done this several times, and I think she's some sort of a magical fairy because she's made them up immediately and gotten them in the mail the next morning. Amazing service!

These are the perfect headbands if your hair isn't heavy enough for headbands which go all the way around your head. I don't know about you, but when I wear the kind that have the elastic in the back, my hair just flips up in a weird and totally unattractive way.

Precocious also solves another common headband problem for me: no headaches! Wearing one of her bands is incredibly comfortable and never leaves me with a migraine. They are very lightweight and hug your head just enough to stay on but not enough to give you the sensation of having your brain squeezed out through your ears.

Precocious sells her headbands for $10, which is a great price for custom-made work by a professional seamstress. Check her out if you need to get your pregnancy mane of hair under control. - Erika
