Whether you’re in a relationship this Valentine’s Day or you’re hoping to catch your crush’s eyes these hairstyles are great choices. Popular hairstyle choices for this day of love include soft and whimsical styles that enhance your natural beauty. Intricate and eccentric styles are best suited for another date. You’ll want to do a hairstyle that is not time consuming so that you have more time to spend with your loved one. These are a few options to help you get your hair Valentine’s Day ready.
Curls or Loose waves
Curly and wavy hairstyles have always been a popular choice for romantic occasions such as Valentine’s Day. These hair styles create a soft and whimsical look as it softens your jaw line. Various products, techniques and tools can be used to create different curl and wave patterns. For wavy hair styles I recommend using regular (if you have time to spare), steam or hot rollers. For curly hair styles use an appropriately sized hot iron. Remember, the larger the barrel, the larger the curl will be. For a natural look I recommend using a hair wand. Always use heat protectant on your hair when using hot tools. If you have pin straight hair I recommend using a curling product that contains heat protectant and using a medium hold hairspray to keep your curls in place.
Low chignon
You can do this hairstyle if your hair is shoulder length or longer. Depending on the look you’re going for, your hair can be curled or straight, which means you can save time by not heat styling your hair and letting it air dry. Without heat styling, this Gather and tie your hair just above the base of your neck. Make a small part above the hair tie and use a topsy tail to loop your pony tail through the part. If your hair is shoulder length, loop it through the part once more with the topsy tail and pin it down with bobby pins. If you have longer hair, wrap it around your hand to form a roll and pin it down with bobby pins. Use a medium to high hold hairspray to tame fly away hairs and to keep your style in place. Use a bejewel or floral comb to decorate the chignon.
Messy Side ponytail
This is another hair style that can be changed up and adapted to suit your hair length and texture. Prep your hair by either using a hair texturizer or curling your hair with a curling iron. Your part should be on the opposite side that you want your side ponytail to be. Create a loose regular braid or chunky fishtail braid. Once you’ve completed and tied your braid, gently pull the braid apart to make it wider and loose. If you have layers so can pull a few short pieces completely out. If your hair is not long enough to form a big single braid, make one or two thin braids before tying it to your side. Use a topsy tail tool to create texture and movement. Use a light hold hairspray to keep your braid in place and you can also attach a flower or some decorative pins just above the hair tie.
These hairstyles are a great choice to complete any outfit and will ensure that you look your best this Valentine’s Day.
