Lovely DIY Valentine’s Day Updo

Hello lovelies!

Valentine’s Day is almost here and I’m filling my home with hearts and flowers, writing love notes and marveling at the 80+ weather we are having in February in Southern California! Whether it’s date night or Galentine’s for you this year I have the perfect and Oh So Lovely DIY Valentine’s Day Updo for you on the blog today!

I love throwing my hair up in a headband crown. It’s unbelievable elegant and yet so simple and easy to do! With Valentine’s Day right around the corner this romantic headband crown makes for the loveliest of DIY Valentine’s Day updos! Would you believe this is my signature go to look? I can’t tell you how many times this pretty little headband crown has saved a bad hair day! You can start the day with this look or throw your hair up for a little evening elegance. You’ll need an elastic hair band and a few bobby pins. The great thing about the headband crown is that it works for most hair lengths.

 

My gorgeous roommate Hannah modeled for me. Isn’t she a beaut!

DIY Valentine’s Day Updo

1. Start by parting your hair. For this look I like to go with an off centered part.
2. Place headband straight down over hair. Adjust so that it fits comfortably.
3. Start tucking small portions of your hair around the headband alternating back and forth from side the side. Tuck by pulling a section of hair over the band looping over and pulling back out under.
4. Once you’ve tucked in most of your hair, take your last section at the back and roll all of your remaining hair into the headband. To keep extra secure add a few bobby pins in.
5. For a more romantic, whimsical, look take the last section of hair and backcomb it on the top before tucking it into the headband.
Tips: For Hannah’s hair I tucked it to the nape of the neck on one side and then tucked the other side to meet it in order to create a lovely side poof. I also like starting with damp hair because it tucks into the headband more tightly and stays better all day.
Wishing you all a very Happy Valentine’s!
