No matter what your plans are, we have something to suit every occasion keep reading to find out how to recreate these beautiful styles.
Smooth and Shiny
Sometimes less is more at our Solihull salon, keep it simple by smoothing the hair through with straighteners and adding a touch of serum to smooth any fly aways and give you maximum shine. This look is quick and easy for everyone to achieve and suitable for all hairstyles and lengths.
Romantic Braid
Side swept braids are great if you have second or third-day hair, and no time to wash it. This romantic triple braid is one of our favorites and will leave your hair looking voluminous and refreshed for your Valentine’s Day. The key to braid hairstyles is lots of volume, you can achieve this by working dry shampoo throughout the hair. Our Solihull hairdressers think this style looks best by leaving out several long pieces to frame your face.
Simply stunning updo
A low bun with face framing pieces is a perfect date night look. Although this romantic updo does require a bit of practice, the result is truly stunning. This updo hairstyle gets its drama from the mega thickness of the bun, so our Solihull stylists recommend backcombing to recreate that extra volume.
Pick A Side
Brush through hair and take a pin tail comb to part your hair deep to the side. Take your favourite grips or statement slides and secure in hair. Our Solihull stylist suggested adding some loose waves using a flat iron to give you an edgy cool girl vibe.
Short textured waves
It’s not all about long hair! At our Solihull salon we are obsessed with short effortless waves. If you have a long bob then these textured waves are the perfect go to look, using a curling iron take large sections of hair and hold for a few seconds. To finish run your finger through the curls and spritz with texturising spray.
Fun & flirty half up hairstyle
This hairstyle is fun, flirty and versatile. This looks great on all hair lengths, colours and textures. This style can be kept simple by leaving hair smooth and straight, then section your hair from the top of your ear and secure, if you want to add a pop of colour then try adding a scrunchie! If you want to step it up a notch then add some loose waves through the ends to give you an ultra glam style.
Big and bouncy
If you have time to spare this valentines day then why not give a big and bouncy blow dry a go? The results are ultra glam but does require a little bit more time and patience to achieve a great finish. Our solihull hairdressers give us their best tips to recreate a salon worthy blow dry;
Products – you need the right products when blowdrying, we recommend a heat protector, a mousse to create volume and keep hold and to finish a serum to control any fly aways and boost shine.
Tools – styling tools are an important part of achieving a successful blow dry, you will need a hairdryer with a nozzle to concentrate the airflow, sectioning clips and a round brush to create volume and bounce.
Hollywood glamour
These S waves are perfect for any occasion, to recreate these waves take a small curling barrel and curl the hair towards the face rather than the current modern wave where you curl away from the face. Keep repeating this curling towards the face in the same direction each time. Spritz with hairspray and leave to cool, when ready brush the curls out to form signature vintage waves. Our Solihull hairdressers always recommend using a heat protector when using styling tools.
Tight curls
Loose waves are as popular as ever right now but let’s not forget about tight curls. Tight curls are the perfect way to create a dramatic look, giving you mega volume! To recreate this style you will need a small curling tong, sectioning clips and hairspray. Take a small section of the hair and curl in different directions, set with hair spray. A top tip from our Solihull hairdressers is to use your fingers to brush out the curls rather than a brush or comb, this is so the curls don’t lose their shape and to eliminate fly aways.
