Valentines day is just around the corner, and whether you are going out or staying home it’s a great occasion to try out some fun hairstyles, so here are 4 hairstyles that fit the theme of romance perfectly!
This post is all about valentines day hairstyles!
To make these hairstyle work the best, you need to have medium to long hair! If you have some extensions to put in your hair to give extra length, even better!
If you want your half-up half-down hairstyle to have a more soft and feminine look, then simply curl or wave your hair – but this looks beautiful with straight hair as well!
In this video, there are only half-up half-down hairstyles, so next year I might do something else!

Braided Valentines day Hairstyles step-by-step
Valentines day hairstyle no. 1
- Take a section of hair from both sides and tie them together on the back of the head
- Split the section of hair into 3 sections (the right and left sections should be bigger than the middle one)
- Braid the right and the left section in a basic 3 strand braid
- Flip the 2 braids up and clip them down, so they are out of the way
- Take an elastic and wrap it around the bottom of the braids, so you create a little loop
- Optional: Cover the elastic with hair (Video tutorial: How to cover an elastic with hair)
- Braid the last section of hair in a basic 3 strand braid
- Takedown the 2 braids and tie all 3 braids together and shape the 2 braids as a heart
- Optional: Cover the elastic with hair
Valentines day Hairstyle no. 2

- Optional: Cover the elastic with hair (click here to watch an easy tutorial on how to)
- Split the ponytail into 2 equal sections and clip one side away with a clip so it’s out of the way
- Take a small section of hair closest to the elastic and split the hair into 3 equal sections

- Repeat steps 4-5 on the other side so you have 2 halves
