20 Fabulous Date Night Hairstyles

Valentine’s Day is a widely celebrated occasion for couples, friends and families all around the world, but why does it only have to be one day of the year? This blog post explores our favourite date night hairstyles so you can celebrate love any day of the year with your special someone. And, what better time than in a lockdown to experiment with some new easy date night hairstyles?

20 Easy Day Night Hairstyles

1. Effortless soft beach waves

Beach waves are such an effortless style compared to tight ringlet curls, and they take no time at all. If you're curling your natural hair, be sure to use a heat protectant spray to protect your hair. By gently brushing out the curls you can achieve a beautiful and natural hairstyle for date night or any special occasion. Steph demonstrates how gorgeous beach waves are whilst wearing the Mila wig by Jon Renau in one of our YouTube videos. The lace front of this wig is so realistic that you won't ever need to worry about being asked ‘are you wearing a wig?‘

2. The fishtail braid

A great way to curl your hair without heat and still get a gorgeous date night hairstyle is with a fishtail braid! Fishtail braids are an easy way to create an elegant and sleek hairstyle. All that you need to do is part your hair into two sections and take a small piece of hair about 1cm thick from the right side and pass it over to the left side. Then take a piece of hair from the last side and pass it over to the right side. Continue this pattern down your hair until a beautiful fishtail pattern forms. When you take out the braid the following day, you'll have gorgeous ringlets, making this easy date night hairstyle a two-in-one look!

3. Gorgeous voluminous curls

Not only are voluminous curls a top hairstyle trend for 2021, but they're a fun and easy to achieve for any special occasion. The best part with curling your hair is that there's no right or wrong way to do it; just however you wish!  For a voluminous look, curl your hair into tight ringlets and gently brush the curls out using a wide-toothed comb. The Empire Mono wig by Raquel Welch is a timeless look, leaving you feeling glamorous all day long.

4. The heart braid

Nothing quite symbolises romance like a heart! A heart braid can be achieved by creating two small classic braids until halfway down your hair. This may be a bit of a fiddly style to do, but the end result is worth it! This tutorial shows you how to style a heart braid in minutes for an easy date night hairstyle.

5. The glamorous updo

An updo is perfect for when you want to change up your everyday style. For this look, gently put your natural hair or heat resistant wig into a low ponytail. Next, you want to curl your hair, making sure to use heat protectant spray. The final step is to place the curls how you want them on the back of your head and to pin them into place. This style may take a bit of time and practise, but the result is gorgeous. This look is so versatile; you could plan on wearing your hair like this on your next date night or when we can next attend a large event!

The updo process is made so much quicker with the tousled wrap hairpiece. For a gorgeous date night hairdo in seconds, put your hair into a low bun and tie the hairpiece on!

6. Space buns

For those with medium to long length hair or hair extensions, space buns are a modern choice for a cute and easy date night hairstyle. To create this look, preferably part your hair in the centre and make sure that your hair is thoroughly brushed through. Take a styling brush and create two pigtails on either side of your head. Next, twist the hair around and around the base of each pigtail to create a bun on each side of your head. Once you have pinned each bun into place, your date night hairstyle is ready to go!

7. The voluminous high ponytail

This look is so easy and simple to achieve. Start by brushing your natural hair into a high ponytail and tie it using whatever you like. A scrunchie is a great way to add a bit of colour to your look! Or if you have short or fine hair, why not change your look with a high ponytail hairpiece? The clip-in Juice ponytail hairpiece is 16 inches long; giving you volume and length for a sophisticated look.

8. The blow-dry

Just because hairdressers are closed at the minute, doesn't mean you can't have a style that looks professionally done! Take some time for yourself and give your human hair or heat resistant wig a blow-dry.

For those with little time to get ready, the Revlon human hair extensions have a beautiful style to them, and at 16 inches long, give you the extra ‘wow' factor!

9. Hollywood glam

When you think of Hollywood glam, you think of big, bouncy and sleek waves. This style can take some time and practise, but with heated or bendy rollers and hairspray, you can achieve this date night look! The soft waves of the gorgeous Jasmine wig by Natural Collection look like you've spent hours styling it, when in reality you have just grabbed it off your wig stand.

10. Hair up half down

The elegant half up half down look is a very easy date night hairstyle. Whether you're styling long hair or short hair, the concept of the half up half down style is straightforward. Take the upper section of your hair or wig and gently pull it up towards your crown to create a ‘half up' ponytail and secure it however you wish. This style can be as simple or as detailed as you wish. For example, you could decide to curl the ‘half down' section or braid the upper section to make it more of an intricate look.

11. Sleek and sultry

Just because we are in lockdown doesn't mean that we can't look and feel our best. Whatever length hair or wig you may have, a straight style will have you looking sleek and sultry all day long. But if you're like us, you might not have picked up a straightener in quite some time! Be sure to use a finishing spray to prevent your har from flicking up at the ends. One of our favourite straight wigs is the Lea human hair wig by Jon Renau, and the beautiful full fringe helps to easily conceal the hairline.

12. Out of the way and pinned back

One of the easiest date night hairstyles for a romantic occasion is to pin the front two pieces of hair out of the way. You could French or Dutch braid the pieces back, or you could twist and pin them up. You can see for yourself how we've styled the Modern Curl wig by Gisela Mayer out of the way and in our video of the beautiful Arrow Mono wig by Ellen Wille.

13. The rope bun

Whether you have long hair or choose to wear extensions, the rope bun is a simple and effective date night hairstyle. Start by brushing your hair into a low ponytail and tie it into place. Then you want to split your hair into two sections and wrap each piece around each other until you've made your ‘rope'. Wrap your rope ponytail around your bun and secure it into place using bobby pins. A quick, easy and cute hairstyle!

14. The modern turban

Sometimes we plan on having our hair a certain way, and when it comes down to the big occasion you may have run out of time or don't have the energy, and that's perfectly fine! Luckily, there's gorgeous headwear that is decorative enough to show that you've put time and effort into choosing the right colour and design. The Lyra turban by Elle Wille has a beautiful 3D flower pattern and is available in 10 stunning colours, meaning that you have the option to complement any outfit. If this style isn't for you, the Christine headwear collection is increasingly popular.

15. The classic statement braid

You may be wondering how is a classic braid a hairstyle for a date night? The power of the classic three-strand braid is often overlooked. Simply braid your hair in either a high, low or side ponytail. Once you've braided your hair, you can pull at each strand to create an effortless look. If you don't feel confident braiding your hair, the Rave girl braided wig by Gisela Mayer is the perfect solution.

An easy way to make a classic braid look more glamorous is to create three small side braided ponytails. Next, use the classic plait technique with each braid to make one large, voluminous braid. This easy style looks like you've spent a lot of time and effort on it!

16. The voluminous front quiff

This versatile date night hairstyle is a great choice to get your hair out of your face and looks fabulous every day. You may remember this hairstyle being popular around 2010, but who said a throwback hairstyle couldn't be cute? To create the ‘quiff' take a small section of hair from the front and gently backcomb it. Pull the hair back away from your face and pin it into place. And voila! A sleek and elegant style that looks great on all hair, but especially striking on a bob cut. You can see how one of our customers wears this gorgeous style in the Kai wig by Rene of Paris.

17. The effortless messy bun

There's something powerful about a stunning date night hairstyle that looks like you haven't made much of an effort. A messy bun can be a very awkward style to achieve; you want to look like you've taken a minute to perfectly throw your hair up without looking like you've just gotten out of bed. Luckily, the Piccolo ponytail hairpiece makes this the quickest look on our list. Simply brush your hair into a bun and clip this fabulous faux bun right on top! For a more relaxed look, leave some hair loose around the front of your face.

18. The soft fringe

If you've been looking for a sign to get a fringe, this is it. A fringe is an easy way to soften your features and is one of the best natural hairstyles for date night. We understand that a fringe can be quite a commitment; that's where a fringe hairpiece comes in. The Fringe Flair Amore by Rene of Paris is the perfect accessory if you're looking to change up your look occasionally. The fringe attaches to your hair or wig with three small clips; a new look in minutes!

19. The shiny pixie cut

Short hair and wigs can be less versatile and difficult to style than other lengths. But, what you can focus on is how you take care of and style your wig with the right products and methods. For instance, the Tres Chic wig by Raquel Welch is a gorgeous pixie cut, and accompanied by a pair of earrings is a beautiful date night look. We recommend using the Ellen Wille anti-static spray to prevent any pesky flyaway hairs and to keep your hair looking soft and shiny.

20. The curled fringe

For those with an asymmetric style, curling your fringe is a subtle way to add a romantic touch to your look. This easy date night hairstyle will take you to any occasion; from date night to your first day trip out of lockdown. Take a look at the Vee Wig by Rene of Paris to see this gorgeous look for yourself.
