Funky Valentine's Hairstyles

A simple hairstyle for Valentine's Day can be just to stick a red rose behind your ear or into your hair.

Valentines Day has become a huge part of our society. Its colors tend to be red, pink and white. Hallmark has made it a day of love and hearts. Many people do their hair in sexy styles, but a great way to celebrate this holiday is with funky looks. You can work hearts into your hair, create a heart or look like a greeting card by adding some funk.

Braided Heart Hairstyle

You can either braid your entire head into two braids or tie your hair half up and half down, and then create two braids out of the ponytail. Tie the two ends of the braids together to create the "point" of the heart. You can then clip the top of the braids to create the heart shape. The website PrincessHairstyles.com suggests also weaving some colored ribbon into the heart.

Valentine Embellished Hair

Buy heart hair clips or heart-embellished bobby pins. You can also bobby pin in red felt cut into heart shapes. You may want to do an up do and add these clips onto the ponytail or bun. You can also clip these into a down style, or use them to pin back bangs. They turn a simple look into something fun.

Red and Pink Colored Hair

If you want to try a really funky Valentine's hairstyle, experiment with its signature colors: red and pink. You can spray temporary or wash-out hair coloring in or you can clip in red and pink hair extensions. Make the strands look like colored highlights, or spray underneath the crown of your head to make it more subtle. To really stand out, you may even want to use real bleach to strip natural hair, and then use red or pink professional hair dye.

Valentine's Headbands

Valentine's headbands add a funky and fast look. You can create your own by bedazzling a red headband. You can also purchase headbands that are pre-decorated. If you are going to a themed party or want to stand out in a crowd, you can push your hair back with a furry headband with heart antennas. This look is bold and fun.
