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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
High bun with curls - elegant and luxurious
A high bun at the back of the head is an excellent hairstyle not only for gymnasts and ballerinas, but also for all fashionable women and girls, because this option perfectly emphasizes facial features and looks great with a festive dress. If the traditional tight bun seems too simple and boring for you, try this interesting option - a bun with curls. First, you should curl your hair with a curling iron or use large rollers.
Make sure that the curls do not lose their shape while you are doing your hair - to do this, apply a fixing agent to them. Then gather your hair into a high ponytail at the back of your head, form a loop from each curl and secure using bobby pins and masking the ends under a ponytail clip. If your hair does not hold its style well, then it is better to first collect it in a “tail” and then make curls out of it. You can arrange the hairstyle elements in one direction or create a creative mess.
To add volume, use your fingers to straighten your curls as you style, and don't forget to set your hairstyle with hairspray at the end.

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.
Long bangs
If you have long bangs, then you can diversify your hairstyle for long curls as much as you like. So, you can comb it any way you like, or you can even disguise it by hiding it in your hair. You can comb it to one side, and a ribbon or any other decorative element, the function of which will be to secure the bangs in the right place, is perfect as a fixative.
One of the quite popular styling ideas for medium hair is dividing bangs in two. However, this option is not suitable for chubby girls. But owners of oval shapes should consider a similar idea.

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.

Matched hair
There are a number of hairstyles that feature completely raised hair. For many years, the only and therefore very common representative of this group was the “French shell”. That is why, as soon as the trend for various braids and plaits developed, the “shell” was forgotten. In evening fashion, it is still not exactly bad manners, but a completely hackneyed option.
- However, take a closer look at it as a business hairstyle. Her long absence from the stylist arena may work to your advantage; she may turn out to be original. And if you complement it with some aggressively fashionable detail such as colored toning, large expressive bangs, braided braids or backcombing, then it will “sound” more than relevant.
- By pinning the “shell”, you can leave the strands framing the face free. Once the hairstyle is secured with pins, these strands (or a strand on one side) can be pinned over the top. If you separate the strands and “throw” them over the shell alternately, you can achieve a funny effect.
- Based on the classic “shell”, you can create a completely fresh version of a ponytail or braid (if the hair is long enough, you can braid the released part).

False Mohawk
A very fashionable, quite aggressive look that can be very feminine at the same time. This is a form of hairstyle called the fawhawk, or false mohawk. The effect of hair gathered at the temples is created either by small French braids or by hair smoothly combed towards the center, which, in contrast to the voluminous central part, is not striking. In the central part, on the contrary, there is either large weaving, or disheveled strands, or backcombing. Additionally, to make the hairstyle last longer, the adjacent part of the hair is treated with gel (regular or with a wet effect) and tightly attached to the head, hidden by the central hair.
Braids
A whole class of hairstyles are braids, chosen above the level of the neck. In this article we will not delve into this topic and describe all their thousand and one varieties. It should be said that independent braids have already left the forefront of fashion. Of the dozens of fashion houses, only a few showed them last season. But, as we have already said, they are so diverse and interesting that they will reign among hairstyles for a long time. If you pick up the braid vertically, you will have a very interesting braided hairstyle. And if horizontally, then it’s a nice and stylish bun.
