So, if you are excited as much as us about it, let's get right into it:
1. Wash and condition your hair with plant-based products
Undoubtedly, one of the most important Valentine's Day hair tips we can give you is to wash and condition your hair with vegan or plant-based products.
As opposed to other hair products, they are formulated with ingredients derived from plants, and they boast a variety of benefits - from being more gentle to hair to a lack of harsh chemicals that can be damaging or irritating for your hair and scalp.
In addition, plant-based shampoos and conditioners help maintain the natural oil balance of the scalp, protecting it from environmental damage and oxidative stress.
If you are looking for great plant-based shampoos and conditioners, look no further than the NuMe hair care line - you can choose between our vegan smoothing hair care bundle, or our new line NuMe Acai Hair Care Set.
2. Use a tourmaline-plated flat iron
Whether you are opting for a vintage hairstyle, or a romantic up-do for Valentine's Day, make sure to use a tourmaline-plated flat iron to not only achieve quick and beautiful results but also reduce the damage that regular thermal hair styling may cause to hair.
Hair tools made from the gemstone tourmaline provide a consistent and even heat distribution, reducing the risk of hot spots that can damage hair during hair straightening.
Tourmaline is also known for its ability to generate negative ions when heated, neutralizing positive ions present in dry or damaged hair - the result is a beautiful, shiny and less frizzy mane.
In addition, the efficient heat conduction of tourmaline-plated flat irons can help reduce the time needed to straighten hair, making the styling process a lot faster - and much more efficient.
3. Allow your hair to cool after thermal hair styling
Next on our list of Valentine's Day hair ideas for a great night out with your date is to allow your hair to cool after thermal hair styling. Achieving your desired hairstyle is one thing, but you won't be happy to see it ruined after spending so much time on it!
It allows you to set the style - if you don't give it a few minutes to cool, the style may not hold as well as for as long as desired.
Keep in mind that fine hair usually cools down faster, so about 1-2 minutes may be enough; for thick or coarse hair, you may want to give it a bit more, 3-5 minutes.
Heat changes the hydrogen bonds in hair, allowing it to be reshaped. Cooling sets these bonds back in place, fixing the hair in its new shape. It also reduces heat damage by reducing the time your hair is subjected to high temperatures.
4. Set your hairstyle with a finishing spray
Once you've finished your hairstyle for Valentine's Day and you are ready to stun your date, you can ensure a long-lasting hold with a finishing spray, such as NuMe Freeze Please Strong Hold Finishing Spray.
This quick and easy step will keep your hairstyle intact for the duration of the date (and after!), maintaining all kinds of styles - from curls and waves to updos and even sleek looks.
Its super-absorbent formula instantly soaks up excess oil, effectively taming frizz and managing flyaways. The NuMe Freeze Please finishing hairspray also adds a healthy shine to your hair, making it look more gorgeous than ever - and your date will surely notice it!
Simply hold it about 8-10 inches away from your hair, and spray it starting at the roots and working your way down to the ends.
5. Use a thermal heat protectant
Of course, one thing that can't miss from a Valentine's Day hair tips list is the thermal heat protectant. This product is an absolute must if you want to straighten your hair without damage - or curl it.
Using a thermal heat protectant is essential when styling hair with heat tools. It forms a protective barrier over the hair cuticle, reducing heat damage, dryness, and breakage.
This helps maintain hair health, enhances shine, and can improve the overall appearance and longevity of your hairstyle. It will definitely give you peace of mind when going out for the night!
6. Tame the flyaways with an anti-frizz spray
Nothing can be more annoying than finishing your gorgeous hairstyle only to see it ruined by frizz - and the night has to be perfect! For this reason, one of our next Valentine's Day hair tips is to tame the flyaways with an anti-frizz spray.
The NuMe Clout Control Anti-Frizz Spray is here to save the day if you are dealing with frizz on your romantic night out. Made with 16 amino acids, it provides defense against frizz and humidity, always ensuring effortlessly sleek and manageable locks.
Unlock the secret to perfectly styled, frizz-free hair, which will leave you feeling stunning and confident on Valentine's Day (or any other night!)
7. Add a romantic accessory
Next on our list of Valentine's Day hair ideas is to add a romantic accessory to spice up your hairstyle, and make your hairstyle look even more special for the occasion.
Accessories are often underestimated, but they can make the whole difference when it comes to styling your hair.
Hair clips, bobby pins, a ribbon, or a floral headband can be a great addition to any hairstyle for Valentine's Day. For example, hair clips like the NuMe Flower Hair Pin Set can make you feel like a princess all night long!
8. Be prepared for touch-ups
Going on a date on Valentine's Day can be a long event, which means that you might have to be prepared for occasional touch-ups to ensure that your hairstyle always looks impeccable.
For example, you can carry a small hair spray, a travel-sized hairbrush, or bobby pins with you for quick touch-ups. You can even opt for the NuMe Jet Setter Pro Mini tools if you need to re-do a curl or two at some point during the night!
9. Avoid tight hairstyles
As we just mentioned, the night can be long, which is why our next Valentine's Day hair tip is to avoid tight hairstyles. It's always better to opt for something that you can comfortably wear for several hours, instead of thinking constantly about how uncomfortable you are.
In addition, tight hairstyles can be extremely damaging over the long run - they put excessive tension on the hair follicles, which can lead to traction alopecia, a form of hair loss caused by constant pulling.
10. Enjoy the night!
The most important tip on our list of Valentine's Day hair tips is to enjoy the night and avoid worrying too much about your hair! Some occasional touch-ups are great, but don't be so focused on it that you forget to have a good time with your date.
