#1. Romantic curls
Imagine your locks transforming into a sea of gentle waves, each curl falling gently like a melody. Sounds dreamy, right? Soft, romantic curls are not just a hairstyle but an experience. They bring a sense of nostalgia, a touch of old world charm and a dose of romance that is hard to resist.
And the best part? Creating these curls is a breeze! All you need is a curling wand, some heat protectant and a few minutes of your time. Simply wrap sections of your hair around the wand, wait a few seconds and release to reveal gorgeous bouncy curls. A hairspray can help keep your curls in place all day.
#2. High ponytail with ribbon
Let’s talk about one of my favorite cute hairstyles right now – the high ponytail with a ribbon. Picture this: your hair is pulled into a sleek, high ponytail, topped off with a charming ribbon tied into a bow. Pretty chic, right?
This hairstyle is not only trendy but also versatile, perfect for all hair types and for any occasion. The ribbon adds a touch of elegance, turning an ordinary ponytail into a statement piece.
Creating this hairstyle is relatively simple. All you need is a hair tie, your favorite ribbon and a few minutes. First, pull your hair into a high ponytail, secure it with a hair tie, and then wrap the ribbon around it, tying it into a neat bow. And there you have it, a high ponytail with a ribbon that is as elegant as it is simple!
#3. Knitted crown
This hairstyle is literally fit for a queen, with your hair gracefully woven into a stunning braid that wraps around your head like a crown. Talk about elegance, right?
Creating this royal hairstyle is simpler than it looks. Starting with a deep side part, grab three strands to begin your Dutch braid (inside-out French braid). Continue adding new hair to the braid as you move across the crown of your head.
When you’re done, secure the crown braid and pin the loose ends with bobby pins.
#4. Messy bun with heart pins
This charming hairstyle combines a loose, textured bun with playful heart-shaped hairpins.
Creating this romantic look is as easy as pie. First, pull your hair into a loose bun, allowing some face-framing pieces to escape for that perfectly imperfect vibe. Next, grab your favorite heart bobby pins (I like the ones with a bit of sparkle) and strategically place them in your bun. Instant Upgrade Charm!
#5. Half-Up Hairstyle with Floral Accessories
A half-up, half-down hairstyle with floral accessories is a cute Valentine’s Day hairstyle that combines the elegance of a half updo with the beauty of floral touches.
Creating this botanical beauty is a breeze. Simply pull the top half of your hair into a loose updo, letting some loose waves dance around your face for the perfect ‘I woke up like this’ vibe. Then, grab your favorite floral accessories (I’m a daisie clip freak!) and scatter them through your hair. Voila, you are a walking masterpiece!
#6. Heart-shaped bun
Ready to take your hair game to the next level? The heart bun is a trendy hairstyle that’s fun, stylish and surprisingly easy to create.
To begin, you will need to pull your hair into a ponytail at the back of your head. The height of the ponytail will determine where your heart bun will sit, so pick a spot you’re comfortable with. Once you’ve secured your ponytail, it’s time to shape it into a heart.

#7. Fishtail braid
Characterized by its distinctive woven look, the fishtail braid involves joining small sections of hair together to create a beautiful, intricate design reminiscent of a fishtail. This style can be worn casual for a relaxed, beachy vibe or dressed up for more formal occasions.
Fishtail braids are versatile and can be incorporated into other styles such as side braids, ponytails or updos.
#8. Side swept chignon
If you’re aiming for timeless elegance this Valentine’s Day, a side chignon is the hairstyle for you. This sophisticated style is just perfect for an evening of romance and elegance.
If you’re wondering what it means, a “chignon” simply refers to a bun that is placed at the nape of your neck. Swept to the side means this sleek bun is slightly open on one side, giving your look a sleek and asymmetrical vibe.
#9. Bubble ponytail
The bubble ponytail is a fun, stylish twist on your classic ponytail. This trendy hairstyle involves creating multiple ‘bubbles’ along your ponytail by tying hair elastics at regular intervals and then gently pulling the hair in between to form a rounded ‘bubble’ effect.
This sleek and playful style adds volume and bounce to your hair, making it the perfect choice for Valentine’s Day.
#10. Twisted Heart Hairstyle
The twisted heart hairstyle is a charming and romantic look that combines the classic heart shape with a twist for added elegance. In this style, two sections of hair are twisted or braided separately, creating a textured and dimensional effect.
These twisted sections are then joined at the back to form a heart shape, secured with bobby pins or a hair tie.
#11. Retro Waves
Retro waves epitomize timeless glamour, reminiscent of Hollywood’s golden age. This classic hairstyle involves creating soft, cascading waves that exude vintage charm and elegance.
With hot rollers, curling iron or other styling tools, retro waves offer a super glam look. Waves usually frame the face and fall gracefully, reminiscent of the iconic hairstyles of movie stars from the mid-20th century.
#12. Waterfall braid
The waterfall braid is a mesmerizing and intricate hairstyle that mimics the soft trickle of a waterfall. This braiding technique involves incorporating strands of hair into a regular braid while allowing others to fall gracefully, creating a waterfall effect reminiscent of falling water.
#13. Low bow
Wearing a big bow in a low ponytail is a chic and playful way to elevate a classic hairstyle. This trendy accessory adds a bold and feminine touch to the look, transforming a simple low ponytail into a stylish statement.
The oversized bow, placed at the base of the ponytail, draws attention with its eye-catching style and can be chosen to match or contrast with the outfit.
#14. Knitted heart
The braided heart is a gorgeous hairstyle that combines the art of braiding with a whimsical heart shape.
This intricate hairstyle involves creating two braids on each side of the head and carefully connecting sections of hair to form the top halves of a heart. The braids then converge at the back, where they are secured to complete the heart shape.
