With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, easy romance is in high demand (who has time for long and drawn out anymore?). But that doesn’t mean it should fall by the wayside. The trick is to work with what you have while embracing the romance of the season. Whether you’re celebrating with friends, having a steamy date night, or just staying in with someone special, a little extra care in your ‘do can add up to a sweeter result. The great thing about these styles is how they’re already working with your existing texture, so there’s no need to spend hours on styling. Give these romantic hair tutorials a few minutes and a handful of bobby pins and you’re set (pun intended). Have a look at these two easy styles below and pluck your favorite bloom to top off a perfectly romantic look. xo
#1. TWIST & PIN
1 – Begin by spraying dry hair liberally with sea salt spray for texture.
2 – Once hair is tousled, roll and twist hair on either side. Secure with a thick elastic.
3 – From the bottom up, begin rolling leftover hair into the two twists.
4 – Tuck into the two side rolls and secure with pins.
5 – Use a light hairspray to set.
6 – Tuck your favorite flowers into the ‘do. Pin if necessary.
#2. TOUSLED & TUCKED
1 – Begin with natural hair, with a small handful of mousse worked through for volume.
2 – Divide hair into four sections: top half, left, right, and pony tail in back.
3 – Twist left and right sections back over the pony tail. Secure with pins.
4 – Take sections from the top and lightly tease the roots.
5 – Pin sections from the top half into the back pony tail area.
6 – Take strands from the pony tail and twist and pin in circular motions to create interesting layers.
7 – Lightly spray hair with a moisturizing hairspray.
8 – Pin your favorite flower into the back.
