The Puff
This style is all about simplicity and volume. With minimal effort, it transforms your everyday look into something special and romantic. Start by brushing out your hair and gathering it at the crown of your head. Then, tie a scrunchie around the base of the puff or secure it with bobby pins. Finally, fluff out the puff using a wide-tooth comb or hair pick to create extra volume. Add some product for extra definition if desired!
The Ponytail

For those days when you just don’t have time for an elaborate updo, try a simple ponytail instead! This timeless style is not only super easy to do but also looks effortlessly stylish. Brush out your hair (blow drying it adds maximum volume) before gathering it into a high or low ponytail depending on your preference. Secure with an elastic band and accessorize with a few pretty clips or pins for extra pizazz (and to keep flyaways in check!).
Bantu Knots
Bantu knots are another great option if you want something different yet still romantic-looking. To achieve this style, start by sectioning off your hair into 4-6 parts then twist each section until they form tight coils around themselves. Secure each coil with bobby pins or hair ties and voilà! You’ll be left with beautiful curls that are as unique as they are romantic!
Whether you prefer something simple like a classic ponytail or something more intricate like Bantu knots, there’s no shortage of romantic hairstyles for natural hair this Valentine's Day! So go ahead, experiment with these styles and make February 14th one to remember this year! Happy styling!
