15 BEST VALENTINE’S DAY HAIRSTYLES FOR AN AMAZING DATE NIGHT 

Whether you’re spending Valentine’s Day with your significant other, a special someone, your best friend, or treating yourself to some self-love, you want to look and feel fabulous. That means putting away your usual easy ponytail for the night (but don’t worry, you can do it!). Even if you have your makeup and outfit ready, finding the right hairstyle can be time-consuming, tricky, and even stressful. If you’ve ever struggled with tangled hair rollers, you’re not alone. To help you shine on Valentine’s Day, we’ve put together 15 easy hairstyles—some fun, some flirty, some romantic, and some bold. These ideas will inspire you no matter what style you’re aiming for.

BARBIE BOW

A Barbie bow is a pretty hair ribbon, often pink, shaped like a big bow. It’s perfect for Valentine’s Day because it’s cute and girly, just like the holiday! You can wear it in your hair or use it to decorate gifts or cards.

FLORAL-INSPIRED PONYTAIL

Match the gorgeous flowers your significant other gives you this Valentine’s Day with a stunning floral ponytail! This style features braids and twists arranged to mimic a rosette, adding a touch of femininity. If you have layered hair, clip in a few wefts from your Luxy Hair extensions at the back to enhance the flower effect. Complete the look by pairing this boho hairstyle with a white lace-detailed dress.

SIDE PART AND LONG WAVES FOR VALENTINE’S DAY

A side part with layered waves always makes a great impression—just ask actress Sophie Turner.

FUN & FLIRTY HALF-UP HAIRSTYLE

This hairstyle is playful and flirty, combining twisted and pull-through braids—perfect for a night out with your galentine. It’s inspired by Daenerys Targaryen’s look from Game of Thrones, because you deserve to feel like royalty this Valentine’s Day. Add some Luxy Hair extensions for extra volume and create thicker braids, then finish with loose waves for a regal touch.

SPACE BUNS

Space buns are a playful and charming choice for Valentine’s Day. Their whimsical, double-bun design brings a fun, youthful vibe that’s perfect for celebrating with a touch of flair. This hairstyle adds a dash of adventure and lightheartedness, making it an ideal match for a day full of love and excitement. Plus, it’s easy to achieve and can be dressed up or down depending on your plans.

EASY UPDO FOR SHORT HAIR

Got short hair and unsure what to do with it? No worries! We’ve got the perfect updo using just a headband. Go for an embellished headband if you want a glamorous look this Valentine’s Day, or choose a lace headband for a more feminine touch.

TRIPLE BRAID

Side-swept braids are perfect for second or third-day hair when you’re short on time. This romantic triple braid is a favorite of ours, adding volume and a refreshed look for your Valentine’s Day.

TWISTED CROWN BRAID

A twisted crown braid is a stunning choice for Valentine’s Day, offering a regal and romantic touch to your look. This elegant hairstyle involves braiding sections of hair and weaving them into a crown-like shape, creating a soft and sophisticated finish. It’s perfect for adding a touch of glamour to any outfit and works beautifully with both loose waves and sleek styles.

FLIRTY FIVE-STRAND BRAID

Love the fishtail braid? Take it up a notch with a five-strand braid, also known as a Dutch braid. This wispy braid gives off major mermaid vibes and creates the illusion of thicker hair, even if your strands are fine. What’s great about this style is that it suits all hair types and textures.

THE PERFECT LOW BUN

A low bun is the perfect elegant choice for Valentine’s Day, offering a sleek and sophisticated look. It’s ideal for keeping your hair neatly in place while exuding timeless charm. This versatile style works beautifully with both formal and casual outfits, making it a great option for any Valentine’s Day plans. Add a delicate accessory or a few soft curls to enhance the look and make it uniquely yours.

DOUBLE DUTCH BRAID

Surprise your sweetheart with a touch of intricate romance this Valentine’s Day with a stunning double Dutch braid! This hairstyle is not only elegant but also showcases your creative flair. Imagine two perfectly intertwined braids framing your face, symbolizing the beautiful bond you share. It’s a hairstyle that’s sure to make your loved one feel extra special on this day of love.

SLEEK & SEXY HAIRSTYLE

Got oily hair and short on time? No problem! This sleek hairstyle, reminiscent of Kim Kardashian’s polished look, will make you appear effortlessly put together in seconds. Use a drop or two of hair oil to tame the front, making the most of your second or third-day hair. Finish the look with a bold lipstick or statement earrings for a complete, standout appearance.

MILK MAID BRAIDS

Milk maid braids are a charming and romantic choice for Valentine’s Day, perfect for adding a touch of whimsy to your look. This hairstyle features two braided sections wrapped around the crown, reminiscent of classic, fairytale-inspired elegance. Whether paired with soft curls or worn on its own, milk maid braids can be adorned with delicate flowers or ribbons to enhance the festive spirit. It’s a lovely way to celebrate the day with a blend of romance and timeless beauty.

THINK PINK

Pastel pink hair is having a moment, and Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to embrace the trend. For a subtle yet stylish look, ask your stylist for a darker root to add depth and dimension to the pastel pink. If you’re hesitant to commit to full-on color, consider pastel pink hair extensions for a temporary transformation that’s just as fun.

BOW PIGTAILS

Bow pigtails are undeniably cute and playful, making them a perfect choice for Valentine’s Day. This hairstyle instantly adds a youthful charm to any outfit. Choose classic pink bows for a traditional look or experiment with different colors to express your personality. Your Valentine is sure to be delighted by this sweet and stylish surprise.

CONCLUSION

From effortlessly chic to undeniably glamorous, these 15 Valentine’s Day hairstyles provide countless options to elevate your romantic look. Remember, confidence is the true key to beauty, so select a style that makes you feel stunning and ready to captivate hearts.
