With Valentines Day right around the corner, you’re probably wondering what you’ll do with your hair. Fortunately, there are quite a few sultry and romantic natural hair tutorials for special occasions. Take a look at these natural hair styles that will surely help prepare you for a special day!

Romantic Beachy Waves

If you’re more into loose waves, take a look at this tutorial from 4C natural, Jessica Pettway. On freshly blow dried hair, section your hair in small sections and tightly wrap the hair around your index finger. Next, remove your finger and secure the hair with two bobby pins, like you would secure a pin curl. Allow your hair to set over night. When you unravel your hair in the morning, your head will be full of fluffy waves. This look is excellent for medium and long hair.

Soft Wand Curls

To get wand curls that aren’t quite so tight for your special evening, natural hair YouTuber, DorianSheryce, offers a detailed tutorial. Starting off with blow dried hair (tension method), she sectioned her hair into small sections and wanded her hair away from her face. After wrapping each section of hair around and down the barrel, hold the hair in place for 10 to 15 seconds. As you remove the hair from the barrel, scrunch your hair together, then slide the barrel off of the curl. When your whole head is finished, separate your curls and fluff.

Elegant Updo

To get this look, Phoenix Monroe, has a simple updo that would be perfect for an evening out with your beau. This is great for short or medium length hair because braiding hair was added to create this style. With blow dried hair or stretched hair, part your hair in the back of your head in three sections. Next, secure each section with a hair tie and form a small bun for each section. Apply a pony tail holder to the middle of one of the packs of hair and attach it to the back of your head. Twist the braiding hair and wrap it around the bun. Follow the same steps for the next bun, but for the bun on the top of your hair, integrate your own hair into the braiding hair as you twist. Wrap the hair around and secure with bobby pins.
