From Clips to Colors; Everything is In

Lisa White ISSA & AFPA CPT
Whether you plan to go out on a big date for Valentine's Day or for an afternoon stroll with your special someone looking nice is still important; especially if this is a real first date. Looking your best for a first date is nerve racking and can often lead to hairstyle mishaps because your so focused on making a good impression that nothing seems to work. Or, perhaps your tired of the hairstyle you have but don't feel like doing something dramatic that you'll regret for the next six months. Still interested in a hair style change though? Check out these suggestions that may simplify your hair dilemmas for your Valentine's Day date.

Faux Bob

Cutting your hair for a single date is a bit extreme but if you're hanging by a thread to do something different with your long tresses a faux bob may be just the right style for you. 2010 offered bob styles to make everyone happy but the faux bob means you can keep your long locks and look like a trendsetter at the same time.

Bangs

To cut or not to cut? Your bangs that is. Cutting your bangs is a deeply personal decision since you'll be the one who has to wait for them to grow back but there's a way to have bangs with out shearing them. Clip on bangs are a hot trend that makes having bangs simple. This is one way to have stylish, blunt bangs without the use of your stylist.

DIY High lights

Luckily, hair extensions have come a long way when it comes to keeping up with the trends. The options come in real and synthetic hair, long and short lengths and a multitude of colors. You may want to keep your natural hair color during your lunch date but there's no reason why you can't have dark magenta high lights during your Valentine's dinner.

Silk Headband

A simple scarf used as a headband can really accent your outfit and keep your hair out of your face especially if you have bangs and are trying to let them grow. Choose a red scarf for Valentine's day or another color that is in contrast to your hair or outfit.

Au Naturelle

Going au naturelle is a great way to use what mother nature gave you and still look fashionable for your Valentine's date. Not only can your hair be beautiful for your date but it will give it a break from the heavy styling you may normally do to it.
