Concentrated romance - choosing a hairstyle for Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is approaching... You already know exactly where and with whom you will celebrate it, you bought a dress, signed up for a manicure and thought about your makeup. But what about the hair? What hairstyle should you get for Valentine's Day? Should you leave the everyday hairstyle that your man is used to, or surprise him with something unusual and festive? We offer the top 5 win-win options for the most fashionable hairstyles 2020 for Valentine's Day.

Perfect smoothness

The main trend of modern fashion is the desire for practicality and versatility, simplicity and conciseness, comfort and convenience.
And this applies not only to clothes and accessories, but also to makeup, manicure and, of course, creating beautiful holiday hair looks. The simplest styling you can do at home yourself is perfectly smooth straight hair, which will make it look beautiful and well-groomed. It doesn’t matter how long the curls are - shoulder-length or waist-length. It also doesn't matter too much whether they are straight all the way to the ends or slightly curled at the bottom. The most important thing is to create a perfectly smooth and mirror-like shine. The easiest way is to dry your hair with a hairdryer with an air-directing nozzle and a special brush. Don't forget to keep the hair dryer at a distance from your hair so as not to dry it out. And don’t ignore thermal protection products.

If desired or necessary, you can stretch your hair with a wide iron or a narrower curling iron. Here you will also have to use a spray with protection against overheating. After styling is complete, you can apply conditioning oil to the ends of your hair. Just don't do this BEFORE using a hair dryer or straightener! An excellent option would be to apply a final shine spray that gives a mirror shine or a light hairspray without a strong hold.

Conclusion

Often the high price for styling in a beauty salon is not always justified, because most of the existing options can be easily repeated at home without much difficulty and without spending too much time. And using your imagination in the process will allow you to get a wide variety of hairstyles for all occasions.

Hollywood curls

Even those who constantly wear their hair straight or in a ponytail or bun, from time to time strive to create beautiful curls.
Especially if we are talking about a holiday, and you want to look not just romantic, but stunning, like a Hollywood star. Well, the “Hollywood styling” in the form of large curls will be just right for Valentine’s Day - simple and at the same time seductive! Curl options that start not from the root, but from the middle of the hair length, look especially impressive. In this case, you need to try to create sufficient volume at the roots. In some cases, if the hair is thin and lacks volume, you can lightly backcomb it and fix the roots with hairspray. Smaller, lighter waves can be used on shoulder length or shorter hair. They do not “remove” the length as much as voluminous and large curls and curls. To create them, you can use not a round curling iron or curlers, but a triple curling iron for light waves.

But Hollywood styling does not imply small curls, but rather large, voluminous curls. The strands should lie one to one - this is a variation of perfectly smooth and neat waves in a retro style. These can be done using a narrow iron or a special curling iron. You can also wash your hair, dry it with a towel, apply foam or styling mousse and curl individual strands with curlers. It is convenient to use Velcro curlers or hot rollers, onto which you can direct the warm air of a hairdryer.

Evening hairstyle curls for medium hair

The ideal evening hairstyle for medium hair is curls. You can easily make them yourself. There are no limits to imagination here. Curly curls can be made from a French ponytail, throw the curls to one side, add a backcomb, etc.

The most popular hairstyle can be called “Hollywood curls” - these are smooth waves-curls or lush curls.

It is mandatory to apply a heat-protective spray to your hair. The hair is then separated into several layers.

The bottom layer of hair must be divided into equal thin strands of width. Hair curling comes from the roots. A more voluminous hairstyle is obtained if the curls are twisted in different orders. Next, the remaining layers are wound in the same way, except for the front strands. Their cheating is always done on behalf of the person.

Tip: The hairstyle will be a bomb if you part it on the side, pin up the strands on one side, and let the magic curls fall off your shoulder on the other!

Bouffant in an evening look

Fashionable evening hairstyles for women are just combed hairstyles. They always look stylish and unusual! One might even say boldly!

Let's take a step-by-step look at the process of creating a bouffant.

In fact, backcombing doesn't take much time. But first you need to wash your hair and dry your hair thoroughly. For this procedure you will need a round comb (brushing), hairspray and a hairdryer. Separate the first strands (they should be thin), sprinkle hairspray at the roots of the strands, and backcomb them with a thin comb, moving against the hair growth. You need to act in the same way from the sides of your head.

After completing this action, we fold the strands back and mask the unevenness with brushing. The resulting pile is secured with strong-hold varnish.

Original corrugation

If you are afraid of ruining your hair with combing and other manipulations, then you can use corrugation for the root volume. By the way, hairstyles with corrugations will look like festive styles for both women and girls.

Voluminous curls in the African style are suitable as a hairstyle for an evening dress for medium hair.

Evening hairstyles in Greek style

Those with bangs constantly have the question of what to do with them? For them, you can use a version of the Greek hairstyle.

Instructions for creating a hairstyle in the Greek style:

Option 1. The presence of decorative elements is mandatory. Greek style is a sophisticated look. Most often, this type of styling is complemented by a small, light dress with thin straps. The gentle image of a Greek woman is a great LooK for a prom. So, you can simply leave your hair in a loose, slightly curled state. But a Greek headband is put on top of the head.

Option 2 . Neat and elegant styling in the Greek style:

-hair strands must be straightened and smoothed; - you need to put a thin headband on your head so that your hair is underneath it; -next we separate the front strands, twist them into bundles, bring them back, thread them through the headband and connect them with other hair; -now all the hair needs to be gathered into a ponytail and twisted into a rope, while simultaneously forming them into a bump; -we thread the resulting cone through the headband and secure it with invisible pins.

Women's evening hairstyles for medium-length hair have a wide range of options.

When choosing a hairstyle for medium hair, you need to pay attention to all kinds of buns. It is much easier to create a medium length hairstyle than long or short hairstyles.

Also, high styling always looks great.

High evening hairstyle for a celebration

In what cases should you not wear a high evening hairstyle? Owners of a model height of 170 cm or more should know that a high hairstyle will only add extra cm. Therefore, minimal backcombing and volume is the success of the image.

For girls with a height of less than 160 cm, too much volume will make the image look bulky. Therefore, when choosing a styling, you should take a closer look at other styling options.

High, collected hairstyles are ideal for ladies with a height of 160 to 170 cm. But here you need to take into account the shape of the face, figure, and dress.

Any evening hairstyle for medium hair, be it for a kindergarten or graduation party, a wedding, a party, is a reason for little fashionistas or big ones to look stunning, breathtaking. It is very important that when choosing a hairstyle for any celebration, the hairstyle does not seem pretentious or technically difficult to move. Use our simple tips for choosing a hairstyle for an evening event.

Ponytail and bun

Are you used to having your hair tied up and not getting in your way? Then your Valentine's Day option is a high ponytail or bun. The pony tail hairstyle is relevant regardless of the situation, season or clothes you wear. It is appropriate in the office, during training, and on a date. And yes, on Valentine's Day you can also make a high ponytail and look very elegant at the same time.

You can choose the option of perfectly smooth combed back hair. You should style them using styling foam (use it on damp curls) or using a gel that adds smoothness and shine. You can, on the contrary, lightly comb your bangs and lift them to create disco-style volume. Or you can even leave the bangs and the front strands around the face, not tied into a ponytail. This will add playfulness and deliberate negligence.

Another variation is to put the same ponytail into a bun, like a ballerina’s. To add volume, you can use a special insert for the bun - then it will turn out symmetrical and round. Or you can leave deliberate negligence and a few strands released from the bun. Don't forget to use decorative elements: satin and velvet ribbons, hairpins with rhinestones or pearls, beautiful hairpins.

Choosing a weaving technique

Don’t think that a braid is not suitable for an evening look, because it is too simple and banal. Currently, there is a great variety of different weaves that bring creativity and unusualness to the evening look.

To choose the right weaving method, you should pay special attention to the shape of your face. How the chosen evening hairstyle will look depends on it. Those with an oval face are the luckiest ones. Absolutely any type of weaving is suitable for this form. Therefore, having long and thick strands, you can create a real work of hairdressing art to shine with an irresistible evening look.

For girls with a round shape, a braided hairstyle that starts above the crown is most suitable. To create it, you need to use the entire length of the hair, and leave the tip free or braid it into a knot. Graceful hairstyles based on a dragon will look perfect in the evening hairstyle of girls with a square face shape. They can take their toll from the bangs themselves. And to give a more festive and evening look, you can decorate them with small stones or add a couple of stray curls.

For girls with a triangular face shape, it is better to take a closer look at weaving like a spikelet. It has been gaining particular popularity lately and is often used as a basis for creating an elegant evening hairstyle. It is best to use not all the strands in the braid, but leave some of the hair to fall freely onto your shoulders.

Braids and weaving

Braids, plaits and a wide variety of weavings have not gone out of fashion for several seasons in a row.
You can make a very impressive hairstyle when your hair is completely pulled up and braided into curly braids. You can also use braids on loose hair, taking only bangs, top or side strands into the braid. One such option with loose curls is the waterfall braid. It weaves, starting from the bangs and encircling the head around the circumference. And the loose, loose strands seem to “flow” down from it - hence the name. Loose hair under a braid looks impressive if it is curled into light, weightless curls. The braid itself around the head can be single, asymmetrical, or you can braid two identical braids on both sides so that they “meet” in the middle of the back of the head.

A French braid also looks beautiful, but not an ordinary one, but an “inverted” one; it is much more voluminous and festive. In this case, the strands are braided not under each other, but above. After you secure the braid with an elastic band, you should also “disassemble” the braided strands, fluff them up, and make them visually more voluminous. If you braid two French braids, you can create an innocent and playful country style look - it goes perfectly with plaid shirts and dresses, as well as jeans and denim sundresses.

Weaving is a peek for Valentine's Day

What could be more tender? It’s good that we have already left the age when boys could show their love in one way - by pulling their braids.

Braid with hair out

This hairstyle is also called “waterfall” - the strands under the main weave look so impressive. To create this style, move the French braid (“spikelet”) from one temple to the other. Regularly exclude the bottom strand from work, and add thin strands from the parietal area to the top. Hide the end of the braid just below the ear and secure with bobby pins.

Tip:
Thin, straight hair needs to be lightly combed first to make the “spikelet” look fuller. To complete your styling, curl the cascading mass of hair into light waves.

Side braid

Since we are doing the styling for Valentine's Day, we will focus on the version of the side braid with a reverse “spikelet”. Weaving can begin directly behind the ear, or from the parting. Gradually add strands from the total mass of hair into the braid without pulling them into a tight braid.

Tip
This hairstyle is suitable for both natural long hair and extensions. Already in the process of weaving, slightly pull the strands out of the braid, thereby increasing the volume of styling.

Malvinka with weaving

Separate a section of hair from the forehead to the back of the head, leaving loose strands on the sides, and braid a reverse braid about a third of the way. Having secured it with an elastic band, straighten the weave, pulling the strands to the sides. Using the remaining free length, braid a regular tight braid and form it into a bun at the back of your head.

Tip
The bun should look more massive than the braid, so on hair that is not too long, you should not loosen the parietal braid excessively.

"Heart"

This hairstyle seems to be created for Valentine's Day: a little childish, cute, but sensually revealing the neck and shoulders. It's not difficult to make. From a straight parting, start weaving a one-sided loose braid (strands are taken from only one side of the braid) from the crown to the forehead, and then smoothly roll the braiding towards the back of the head. On the other side of the parting, make a similar braid. Bring the ends of your hair together at the base of your neck, twist with a loose rope and secure with bobby pins.

Use hair accessories

Don't forget about hair accessories: they can instantly transform an ordinary everyday hairstyle into a bright and festive one.
Today, beautiful “twigs” for styling are considered the most fashionable - they are even suitable for wedding hairstyles, and will look especially romantic on Valentine’s Day. They can be made of pearls, beads and beads, rhinestones and stones, artificial flowers. Speaking of flowers: if your look for Valentine's Day is delicate and feminine, insert a flower or even several into your hair. Whether it will be a bright red passionate rose or delicate snow-white daisies is up to you. It all also depends on the outfit you choose and the place where you celebrate February 14th.

Of the hairpins, voluminous snap-on options with spectacular decor: rhinestones, pearls, beads are definitely suitable. They resemble “school” hairpins, and therefore are very convenient for securely fixing unruly strands or creating a beautiful decorative accent in your hairstyle.

For the ponytail, use invisible thin elastic bands and tie them with ribbons on top. In favor are strips of lace and guipure, ribbons made of shiny satin or iridescent velvet, pieces of fabric in sequins, beautiful silk multi-colored scarves and scarves. The longer the piece of fabric, the more impressive it is, and the ribbon can also be woven into a braid.

And another mega-relevant accessory in 2020 is a headband and a hair hoop. If previously a headband was worn to hold back unruly bangs, now it is a bright accent in any look. Headbands can be inlaid with rhinestones, stones, pearls, beads, sequins, or they can be covered with beautiful fabric to match the color of your outfit.

Bangs and face shape

Let's consider how bangs are selected depending on the shape of the face.

For chubby girls, straight bangs are rarely suitable because they visually make the oval of the face even shorter and wider. Here it is better to lay it on its side and leave a few strands along the edges of the face.

Girls with oval faces are suitable for different types of bangs, which can have different lengths. Side-swept bangs will add femininity and sophistication to your look, and photos of many celebrities with these types of faces and a variety of bangs are further confirmation of this.

For triangular faces, straight bangs will not be the best solution. Especially if it is short. Here it is also better to comb it to the side. The same applies to representatives of the fairer sex with rectangular faces.

Step-by-step hairstyle analysis

How to do an evening hairstyle for medium hair step by step? Instructions are given above. You need to comb your hair and divide it into two parts. Then braid a pigtail on each side. But don't use all your hair for braiding. The braid should simply be a frame for the face. When the braids are ready, they need to be secured at the back of the head. Use bobby pins to attach the braids one at a time. You can do this in various variations. For example, as shown in the picture, placing one braid on top of another or placing braids one below the other. Use your imagination and fantasize.

Simple hairstyle

There is nothing complicated about this hairstyle. Even a schoolgirl can do it. But she looks very impressive at the same time. DIY evening hairstyle for medium hair can be done in just 15 minutes. With the help of mousse, your hair should be given a slight carelessness, something like the effect of wet hair. Just the waves should not be too strong. Next, you should collect the hair on the back of your head into three tails, which will be located on the same vertical line. Weave a braid from each ponytail and then fluff it up, pulling out the strands. Pull one strand at the end of the braid and it will form an accordion. Wrap the resulting braid around an elastic band. Do a similar operation with each tail. Those strands that are not included in the ponytail need to be attached to the head using hairpins or bobby pins. There is no need to leave something like a fuzz around your hair. It should be spectacularly casual and neat.

In Chanel style - feminine and elegant

This hairstyle, known to us as “Malvina” and presented by Chanel stylists at the latest shows of this fashion house, is distinguished by impeccable simplicity and sophistication. To repeat it, you just need to blow dry your hair as usual, and then apply a little mousse to the top of your hair to fix it, comb the strands back from your forehead and secure with a bow clip or any other clip of your choice. If you like perfect smoothness, you can use a hair straightener, and if your style is slight negligence, then add volume to the combed strands and release a few curls that coquettishly frame the face.

Hairstyle with braids

The easiest option to create an evening hairstyle for medium hair at home is to braid your hair. But they should also be done correctly. A beautiful hairstyle is voluminous braids that frame the face and end elegantly at the back of the head. How to create a similar hairstyle? You need to braid the braids that frame your head. Do them in as large increments as possible and do not pull the curls too tight. On the contrary, it is better to braid your hair as relaxed as possible. Don't be afraid that your hairstyle will fall apart quickly. If you fix everything with hairspray in time, the hairstyle will hold up well throughout the evening. How to lay braids at the junction? Braid the braid up to your ear, attaching it to your head, and then braid it separately from your head. You need to attach it to the back of your head with hairpins. First make the bottom layer, and then place the top braid on it. Secure your hair with hairspray for security.
