Your Ultimate Guide to Achieving a Picturesque Valentine’s Look 

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner so get ready to make heads turn. This will surely be one to remember as you strut across the streets with your picture-perfect hairstyle making a long-lasting impression. Be it hair gems, bows, or the iconic Miu Miu plexiglas hair clips, this guide has got you covered. 

If you’re up for a drastic change, red and pink hair shades are here to stay in 2024. Whether it’s the deep crimson like Dua Lipa, the subtle auburn as seen on Fahy, or Kylie Jenner’s bubblegum pink comeback from the King Kylie era, these hues are set to make a statement and elevate your style this year. 

Take your hairdo to the next level with a braided updo that makes a statement. Opt for a sleek middle part and allow the elaborate swirls to cascade towards the edges to draw attention. While we’re in the realm of braids, you could also embrace ballet-core braids. Get experimental.  Creatively up-cycle those Christmas and New Year’s ribbons and incorporate them into your ponytail, braids, or headbands to spice them up to attain a delicate and soft aesthetic. 

Get your hair looking runway-worthy by embracing the power of accessories. If you’re looking for some high-fashion inspiration, look at the Tory Burch Spring 2024 collection, where the show-stopping bedazzled embellishments were a major appeal. Additionally, you could consider incorporating pearls and delicate gems into your hair for a touch of classic elegance, as seen in the Alice and Olivia Spring/Summer 2024 show. These fine embellishments not only create an air of refined elegance but also add a dash of subtle glitz. 

To achieve these impeccable hairdos, contemplate integrating the effective duo of Living Proof’s Control Hairspray in addition to Gisou’s Propolis Infused Polishing Primer. To commence the styling process, apply a layer of Gisou’s Primer. This exceptional product works as a hair base, efficiently priming the hair for an effortless styling procedure. It not only diminishes pre-existing frizz but also reduces it, thereby crafting a refined and sleek finish. Now comes the part where you utilize Shark FlexStyles Air Styling and Drying System where you can customize and build the perfect tool suited to your hair type. Whether you have straight, wavy, curly, or coily hair, there’s an attachment out there for everyone. 

I wholeheartedly advise making use of the Living Proof Control Hairspray to set your look. This hairspray reinvents the process of maintaining a stylish hairstyle throughout the day. Keeping your hair in check without succumbing to stiffness, its lightweight formulation paves its way toward a flexible yet firm hold. Lastly, The Conair Quick Gems Styler redefines the process of applying jewels to one’s hair. With its ergonomic design, this groundbreaking tool is ideal for occasions when you desire to elevate your appearance without devoting countless hours to being in front of the mirror. Dial your selected gem out of the 30 colors and shapes, place it on your hair strand, and press the button to insert it and voilà you’re ready for Valentine’s!
