Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion to embrace the beauty of your natural hair with an elegant updo.
Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner, a casual outing, or a cozy night in, a stunning updo can elevate your look while keeping your hair protected.
From soft, voluminous buns to intricate braided styles, here are some gorgeous natural updos to try for your Valentine’s Day date.
1. Classic high puff
A high puff is a timeless, effortless style that highlights your natural curls. To achieve this look:
• Start with stretched or freshly washed hair.
• Use a soft brush to gather your hair at the crown and secure it with a satin scrunchie or an adjustable puff band.
• Fluff out your curls for volume and add edge control or gel for sleek edges.
This style is simple yet elegant, perfect for both casual and dressy dates.
2. Chic low bun with twists
A low bun with twisted details exudes sophistication and romance. Here’s how to create it:
• Part your hair into two sections in the front.
• Twist or flat-twist each section towards the back.
• Gather the rest of your hair into a low bun and secure it with bobby pins.
• Accessorize with gold cuffs or a decorative pin for extra charm.
3. Halo crown braid
For a regal and romantic look, try a halo braid:
• Divide your hair into two equal sections.
• Create two chunky braids on each side, bringing them around your head like a crown.
• Secure with bobby pins and loosen the braids slightly for a soft, romantic feel.
This style is perfect for an elegant dinner date.
4. Bantu knot updo
Bantu knots add a bold yet romantic touch to any look. To style:
• Section your hair and twist each section into small knots.
• Secure with bobby pins and let them set for a few hours or overnight.
• Unravel some knots at the front for added texture, or leave them intact for a sculpted style.
5. Curly updo with accessories
If you prefer to let your curls shine, gather your hair into a loose updo and secure it with pins. Add floral pins, pearls, or a sparkly headband for a romantic Valentine’s touch.
No matter which style you choose, these natural updos will have you looking and feeling stunning for your special date.
