3 simple hairstyles for valentine's day
hope you have all had a good week! this week has been quite busy but SO good. i have been waking up about an hour to an hour and a half earlier every day this month and have also been trying to be a lot more intentional and mindful and it’s working well. i know most people have moved past new year’s resolutions and are deep into the swing of things, but you can change absolutely anything at any time and if you put in effort, the results are so worth it.
anyways.. i wanted to share three quick little hairstyles you can do for valentine’s day or really any other day. i don’t consider myself to be a hair expert so these are all really easy to do and don’t take much time, either. they can be done on any length or thicknesss of hair - call it coincidence or the fact that i don’t like to do anything elaborate and have never worn extensions.
lastly, i know some people aren’t into valentine’s day and i am not ride-or-die for the day but i have always loved how holidays make things a little more fun than usual. so no matter what i hope you enjoy the day ♥️
1. rose gold bow
maybe it was because i was a cheerleader in high school, but i will always love a good bow. obviously i don’t think my big oversized cheer bows are great for everyday anymore, but i will still use little ribbons now and again. the bow pictured was actually part of a headband at a kid’s clothing store that i just cut off and attached to a bobby pin to, then pinned to the end of my bow. adding ribbons or bows finishes a look and slightly elevates it without having to do anything fancy - i just did a regular three-strand braid and pulled it apart slightly to make it bigger.
2. bandana pony
i think this is a fun twist on a simple pony that we all do all the time. i chose pink but you could use literally any bandana - they are super cheap at places like Target or craft stores. to create this look, i placed the bandana flat on a table with one corner pointing towards me (like a diamond shape), rolled it from one end to the other.. and then you tie it in a simple knot in your hair. done :) if you want it to be extra soft and lived in, wash it first.
3. rose gold hair
saving arguably the most fun for last. i tried out this product last summer and not only was it so fun and easy to do, but it became one of my most popular posts to date and i still get questions about it.
the Rose Gold Temporary Tint is available to buy at Target. you apply it to wet hair - the product is a spray, and you have to spray everywhere that you want the color (it doesn’t blend out or transfer around). the color will last for 3 washes (about a weekend) and won’t damage your hair, color treated or not. the color will show up best on lightened hair but will still add a tint if your hair is brunette. and who doesn’t want pink hair on Valentine’s Day? haha
