- Hey everyone, Kayley here.
Today we're gonna do some Valentines Day hairstyles.
And I've done a mix of long and short hairstyles.
So hopefully, all of you can find something
that you wanna wear this time around.
Now, whether you celebrate Valentines Day
or not, whether you are your own Valentine,
or you have a Valentine, I hope that you enjoy
your day and pick out a hairstyle that will
make you feel that much more fabulous.
That being said let's get into it.
First things first, section off the hair on top of your head
and once you have that sectioned
braid all the way down and secure it at the end
with an elastic.
Now on one side grab another section of hair
and braid that.
I chose to do a rope braid with this once
just to mix it up a little bit.
And now let's mess it up.
Start with massaging each braid
to add some texture and volume.
Then grab a comb or brush and lightly tease
the ends of the braids.
Just enough to give them some texture too.
Now if you have short hair you can actually follow
the same steps.
And this is what it would look like on shorter hair.
I think it's still perfectly laid back.
And that's actually it.
This one makes me feel a lot more laid back.
And I feel like it could totally go with a casual
occasion or to calm down a kind of dressed up look
if you wanted to.
I can't help it, this year I was feeling very girly.
For long hair, start with a section at the crown
of your head and create a french braid.
And as you braid make sure that you're taking
larger sections.
Once all the hair is in the braid
you can secure it into a low ponytail with an elastic.
Then if you're feeling it you can add a ribbon.
I think the ribbon is such a great accessory right now
and I do love it for Valentines Day.
For short hair you could do the french braid
from the long version as a half updo,
but I'd actually alter it this way.
Grab a large section on one side
and braid all the way down.
Then do the same thing on the other side.
Now bring both together and secure it with an elastic.
And here's my classic fake out,
grab some more hair around the ponytail
and secure it with another elastic.
This is gonna make the tail of the half updo
so much more full and complete.
And now you add in that ribbon and you're done.
Gotta finish it off with a fresh braided up do.
This one starts with a french rope braid.
Don't worry it's not that crazy.
Start with a section of hair a couple of inches
back from your hairline and split it in to two.
Then create a rope braid by twisting the sections
toward your face and wrapping them away.
Once you've done that a few times
pick up a new piece of hair
and put it into your top section.
Twist toward your face and wrap away.
And continue going until you've reached
the nape of your neck.
As you go just pick up hair along the path of the braid.
Now secure everything into a low ponytail
and with the hair in the ponytail create
two more rope braids.
Finish this off by wrapping the first braid into
a bun and then wrapping the second braid around that.
And that's it.
Now you can swap out the rope braid for a dutch braid
if that's more your speed,
but I've really been feeling the rope braid lately
because it brings more life into these updos.
Now for my shorties, here's what to do.
Start by sweeping back one side of your hair
and bobby pin it in place.
Then do a french rope braid as I showed earlier
but aim for the middle back of your head.
Once you get there rope braid a couple inches normally
and hold your place.
Then sweep back some more hair from that side
and your braid and place them over the pins.
Secure in place by pinning up and into the section.
This will help everything hold without any awkwardly
exposed pins.
And that's it.
And there are some hairstyles that you
