Romantic Valentine’s Day Updos
1. Blingy Updo Bun
We are totally obsessed with this upgraded updo. Adding in super fun hair accessories are a great way to take your boring old bun and make it something really special. We like these super-thin hair bangles that add an extra metallic twist to this bun. How you will apply your hair accessories will be totally different depending on your personal style and what look you’re going for. The bottom line is to have fun and express your style through your hair!
2. Romantic Topknot
We love romantic Valentine’s Day updos that are extra voluminous on top. Air-dry your hair or blow-dry it, and then style the front half of your hair into a mini pompadour hairstyle. This will add extra height to your face, making it super cute and flattering. With the rest of your hair, pull it into a messy top knot and secure your style with some bobby pins. The overall look is romantic without trying too hard. Love!
3. French Twist
Calling all francophiles! We are in love with how elegant Valentine’s Day updos turn out when they incorporate a twist. And what’s more elegant than a French twist? This style is simple and sleek and looks great with any outfit, trust us. You can follow along with our easy French twist tutorial so that you can recreate this look at home. Just make sure to have bobby pins and Bed Head by TIGI Maxxed Out Massive Hold Hairspray on hand to set your style.
4. The Curly Twist
For a twistier, even more romantic Valentine’s Day updo, try this curly twisted updo. You’ll need to start off by curling your hair. We like tight curls for this look, so try a smaller half-inch curling wand to curl your hair. This hairstyle is set in two parts. The first is to create a half-up ponytail, resting right in the center of the back of your head. The second part takes all of the rest of your hair (ponytail included) to twist and cover the ponytail holder. Wear this one out for that extra special Valentine’s Day date.
5. Vintage Updo
For that charming vintage style, try this old school updo. You’ll have to create finger waves with the front section of your hair which, trust us, looks a lot harder than it actually is. Then all you need to do is fold the rest of your hair into a chic chignon. Follow our tutorial to replicate this vintage updo. We love this style for those all-day dates where you don’t want to worry about your hair. It’s one of those updos that are extra secure!
6. Curly Braided Bun
We’re all about this curly braided bun for our naturally curly girls. To get this style to look really nice, start off with defined curls. We like to use a curl-defining gel to help set natural curls in their curl structure. So, use a good dab of TRESemmé Flawless Curls Defining Gel while drying your hair. Then follow our tutorial to create this braided curly updo.
7. Tousled Texture
Throw your hair up into a messy bun and pull a few pieces out to frame your face. This tousled updo is instantly both glamorous and sexy!
8. Polished Ponytail
Add some polish to a classic ponytail by wrapping a 1-inch strand of hair around the base of the style.
9. Glitter Pony
You can’t go wrong with glitter! Use hair gel and small gems to decorate your low ponytail for instant shine.
10. Classic Curled Bun
This classic style will give you that coveted sexy undone look! Add some texture by finishing your style with Suave Dry Texture Finishing Spray.
11. Velvet Updo
Make the most of virtual Valentine’s Day plans and go the easy route by going with an easy trendy accessory.
12. Half Updo
Opt for a soft and romantic style and pull your hair back into a soft and sultry half updo. Are you thinking about trying out one of these Valentine’s Day updos? Be sure to snap a picture and tag us @AllThingsHairUS!
