‘Hair’s’ To Valentine’s Day!
Victoria's Secret models Candice Swanepoel and Lily Aldridge promote the brand's Valentine's Day sale 2013.
Lifestyle, Local Lifestyle, Style, Style Observer, Tuesday Style, Under the Dryer
February 12, 2016

‘Hair’s’ To Valentine’s Day!

With Valentine’s Day less than 24 hours away you’ve no doubt got today double-booked, ostensibly to primp and pamper. Consider these options sourced especially for you by your glam squad before you go

Under the Dryer.

Fee Fie Faux Fum!

The dramatic effect of shorn locks can give you a whole new look, but before you take that giant step try out the ersatz version of a famous ‘do.

Faux bob

The faux bob is an elegant illusion that’s all pins.

Elizabeth Olsen exudes easy elegance with a faux bob.

Loose curls are a great way to add volume to a bob, and Kerry Washington has got that all locked up.

Channelling old Hollywood glam – Zoe Saldana’s faux bob is pure refinement.

Bob aficianado Jessie J shows that choppy bangs give can take this clean look and give it some edge.

If you’re ready for the real deal, a tousled bob with blunt bangs will make the world go, wow!

Faux-hawk

All the glamour of the real thing without the anxiety of an actual cut.

Janelle Monae is never one to disappoint, and her ‘wondabraid’ takes the faux-hawk game to another level.

Colour me fab!

A cut isn’t the only way to shake things up – a new colour is a great w ay to make things fresh without taking scissors to your tresses.

Here to stay, Grey!

An ash blonde ombre makes for a striking statement.

Teyana Taylor

No matter the texture, colouring is a great way to give some flair to your hair. Teyana Taylor reps for the natural girls with this curly ombre look.

Khloe Kardashian

Khloe Kardashian adds drama to her wavy locks with a honey to blonde ombre look.

Runway Ready

Runway looks don’t always translate well to the everyday, and the reverse is also true. There are, however, looks that are so elegant that they become style staples. Besides, who doesn’t want to look like a model on V-Day?

Eva Mendes

With a deep side part you can give yourself an air of mystery – perfect for a day of romance.

Charlotte Ronson

A deep side part with small fishtail plaits is a great catwalk-to-sidewalk look.

Yaya DaCosta

Shorter cuts are more on the edgy side and a deep side part provides the right amount of vamp.

Caution! Stylists at Work!

Some looks require just a bit more time in the chair, but the results are well worth the wait.

Brandy Norwood

Take a note from Brandy Norwood’s style book and glam up box braids with this pompadour look.

Tia Mowry

Versatility is one major advantage of box braids. Wearing them down creates an effortless look that’s chill yet chic.

Low Rider

Be it a ponytail, a bun or a chignon ­– styles that emphasise the face by pulling back hair to the nape of the neck are very of the moment.

Iman

The sleek, low ponytail is a style staple, a simple yet chic choice.

Sandra Bullock

Great for romantic occasions – a messy chignon can lend a devil-may-care aura.

If it ain’t broke, dont fix it.

Romantic waves are nothing short of timeless. Instead of looking for the next big thing, why not take this classic out for a twirl?

Amy Adams

Wavy tresses are the go-to romantic hairdo and the perfect style upgrade to make you the leading lady.

Lauren Conrad

Opt for softer waves if dramatic statements aren’t exactly what you’re looking for. A subtly romantic feeling will still brighten the day.

Jennifer Lopez

Combining styles can have great results. Jennifer Lopez pairs a deep side part with long waves.
