Bec Judd’s Back to Routine Hair Essentials

The Tools Behind Her Effortless CBF (Can’t Be F*****!) Hair

Back to routine always arrives with a thud. One minute you are living on holiday time, the next it is school drop offs, early meetings and a calendar that does not care if your hair is cooperating. For Bec Judd, returning to routine is all about keeping things polished without overthinking it, especially on busy mornings when time is not on your side. Enter her approach to what she famously calls CBF hair. Effortless, put together and intentionally unfussy.

As a mum of four, Bec knows that getting yourself ready often sits somewhere between packing lunches and finding missing shoes. That is why her back to routine hair essentials are all about smart tools that do the work for you. The kind that turns five spare minutes into hair that looks considered, glossy and done.

What is CBF hair?

CBF hair stands for Can’t Be F***** hair. It is the beauty approach for mornings when time is short, effort is low and you still want to look put together. It is not about perfect curls or a flawless blow wave. It is about working with the hair you have, whether it is freshly washed or a week old, and using smart tools to make it look intentional.

For Bec, CBF hair usually comes in the form of a half up half down style. It is the ultimate low effort, high payoff look and works just as well on freshly washed hair as it does on week old strands. A little texture through the lengths, a sleek look to snatch the face and front framing pieces create that undone but put together finish.

The tools that make polished hair easy on busy mornings

At the top of the list is the Auto Curl Tong, the ultimate shortcut to soft, uniform curls without the learning curve. With its rotating barrel, it creates polished curls in seconds, making it ideal for mornings when you need hair to behave. It is perfect for adding movement through the lengths and face framing pieces before sleeking the top section back.

For flyaways, edges and those inevitable regrowth moments, the Wax Stick is a non-negotiable. A few light swipes smooth everything into place, instantly elevating a half up style, ponytail or bun. This is the quiet hero behind Bec’s CBF hair aesthetic. Clean, snatched and effortlessly cool.

Detangling is another step that should never slow you down. A good Detangle Brush glides through knots quickly and gently, whether you are working on fresh hair or refreshing day three or seven. Less tugging, less breakage, more time saved.

Then there are the Jumbo No Crease Clips. The unsung heroes of a fast routine. They hold hair out of the way while you do your makeup all without leaving a mark. Practical, yes, but completely essential.

Some more time saver tools worth having on hand...

Once you are back in the swing of routine, having a few extra time saver tools on hand makes all the difference. The Spin, an automatic curler, speeds through the curling process when you want volume and movement fast.

Digital Hot Rollers are perfect for multitasking. Pop them in while you get dressed, make the beds or get the kids ready, then take them out as you walk out the door. Instant bounce, zero effort.

And for days when you want texture without the time commitment, the Double Waver is the definition of clamp and go. A few quick presses create loose, beachy waves that look relaxed but intentional, even on hair that has seen one too many busy days.
