20 Valentine’s Day Hairstyle to Wear from Desk to Date Night

Parting hair to one side, brush hair (or, if you have a flatiron handy, use that to smooth any flyaways). Follow with a touch of oil or serum for over-the-top shine.

Boost volume by working in dry shampoo throughout the hair. Loosely braid, leaving out several long pieces to frame your face.

Twist braids into a high top bun at the crown of your head—then add a pair of statement earrings.

A low bun with face-framing tendrils is the easiest updo there is. If you have the time (and the tools), brush hair first to smooth, and tease at the crown for some volume.

Sweep and part hair on your good side, securing with bobby pins. Add some flat iron waves to give it an edgy, rocker vibe.

Beachy waves hit that sweet spot between effortless and glam.

If you have long, lush hair, a high pony is the perfect style to frame your face while also showing off your killer hair.

Style your pixie with a some bends and texture spray for a rumpled (but still polished!) look.

Gemma Chan looks like a fairytale princess with this long and low braid. Finish the look with a silk bow to for extra romance.

Wear a high an sleek ponytail to the office, then pop on a scrunchie to make the look a little less serious after-hours.

A top knot works for every occasion and is the perfect style to go from the boardroom to fancy soirée.

A half updo is universally flattering, no matter the length. We like it with soft, face-framing waves.

Speaking of universally flattering, you can’t go wrong with layers. Add some loose waves for definition and volume.

Keep curls fresh for hours by using a styling cream to help tame frizz and keep them from falling flat.

Use a 1” curling iron for no-fail Old Hollywood curls. Set with hairspray for a classic look that will last all night.

Make a low bun more complex — with minimal effort, of course —by twisting hair before pinning it place. After work, pull out your face-framing layers to muss up the look.

Got unwashed hair? Try a twisted crown at the top of your hairline to elevate a low ponytail.

Keep ironed hair straight all day by locking in the style with a humidity-fighting oil (for thick hair) or shine spray (for fine hair).

The key to achieving the I-just-got-out-of-the-shower trend isn’t water—it’s hair oil. Slick hair back into a bun for work, then let your wet hair look down for date night.

A tight bun is perfect way to look put together if you’re in a time crunch. Dress it up in two seconds with a chic hair accessory, like a pearl, bow, or sparkly pin.
