3 Perfect Valentine's Day Inspired Hairstyles

Hello & welcome back friends! I hope you are having a fabulous February and enjoying the Instagram Style Party! I am excited to share with you a few of my favorite Valentine’s Day inspired hairstyles. For those of you who don’t know, I’ve been collaborating with Remington and their blog, Remington Ready, for a while now (see here, here and here) to bring readers different hairstyles to try out. Today, I am bringing a hairstyle tutorial post straight to Rachel Lynn and showing you a few of my favorite Valentine’s Day inspired hairstyles to do with a headwrap.

Whenever I think of headwraps or headbands, my mind immediately goes to the queen of all hair accessories, Blair Waldorf. That girl seriously knew how to pull off anything. If I’m being honest, sometimes I can get into this mindset where I convince myself I can’t wear a headband. I’ll go weeks without one and then one day I’ll decide to be a little adventurous, get up the courage to wear one and I find it adds so much to my style. Headbands and headwraps are the perfect accessory to take your hairstyle to the next level.

This post has been sponsored by Remington Products for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. 

Style 1:

This first style is by far my favorite. I’m honestly not sure why I’m drawn to this particular style so much, but there’s just something about the simplicity of it, paired with the pop of the headband that I love.

For this style, I will be using a headwrap. You can use a headband if you like, but I’ve found that the wrap adds stability to the look. Personally, I find them easier to style.

Start by curling your hair in loose waves. You can also create this look with straight hair, but curled hair gives it a more romantic feel. I used my Remington TStudio Thermaluxe Curling Wand to create this look. Then, position your headwrap over your hair and a little further back. You want to give some space for the front section of hair. Slowly take all of your hair out from under the wrap (as your normally would) except for a front section of hair. This front section of hair can be as large or as small as you’d like!

Take that front section over the headwrap and to the side, pinning it down towards the back. You can use a bobby pin if you’d like, but if you’re wearing this style on a date, I would recommend dressing it up with a pretty barrette or clip. And there you have it! I like the looser look, so I usually pull my hair out a bit from the pin. This style is subtle, but it does an excellent job framing your face and the hairwrap gives beautiful dimension to an otherwise simple look!

Style 2:

This second style piggybacks off of the first one. Starting where we left off, take your hair and position it in a low ponytail.  Then, wrap a strand of hair around the hair tie. Whenever I’m going out and wearing a ponytail, I like to wrap my hair around the hair tie. This gives the look a more elegant, pulled together feel.  Now you have a look that still gives dimension to your hair, but is more laid back for those casual Valentine’s Day dates!

Style 3:

What I love most about headbands and headwraps is that they elevate a simple, everyday hairstyle into something chic and new. This next style gives the typical curled hair a cute, “girl next door” feel. If you’re constantly curling your hair and want to do something different with it without having a ton of time to create a complex look, this style is for you. Simply curl your hair and add a headband! I used a darling maroon headwrap to keep with the Valentine's Day theme without being too loud. God knows Blair rocked this style time and time again on Gossip Girl and there's no reason why you can't, too. Chic, simple, elevated, elegant.
