Valentine’s Day is almost here, and whether you’re planning a romantic date, hanging out with your friends, or enjoying some well-deserved self-care, the perfect hairstyle is a must. Natural hair gives us so many ways to express ourselves, so why not show off your crown with some creative looks?
In this article, we share Valentine’s Day hairstyle ideas to inspire you! Ready? Let’s get into them.
1. The Classic Twist-Out

Nothing says “effortlessly chic” like a defined twist-out.
Perfect for a soft and romantic look, twist-outs are a timeless style that lets your natural curls shine. To achieve the perfect twist-out, prep your hair with MPL Clove Hair Oil for added moisture and definition. Don’t forget to fluff for volume!
This hairstyle is low-maintenance yet stunning. Pair it with a bold lip and you’re good to go!

If you’re going for elegance and sophistication, a sleek low bun is the way to go. Smooth your hair down with gel, brush it into place, and secure it at the nape of your neck. Add some flair by swooping and styling your baby hairs for that extra edge. A simple and versatile hairstyle that pairs well with both formal and casual fits.
3. Fluffy Afro with a Floral Accent
Since Valentine’s Day is all about big gestures and expressions of love, why not make a big expression with your hair?
Rock your afro and add a little flare to it with a floral touch, whether fresh or faux, just for a romantic touch.
Use MPL Black Castor Oil to ensure your hair is moisturised and looking its best.
4. Half-Up, Half-Down Twists

For a playful and youthful vibe, try a half-up, half-down hairstyle with twists. Gather the top section of your hair into a puff or bun and let the rest flow naturally or twist it into defined sections.
5. Braided Crown

Feeling regal? Try a braided crown for a romantic and goddess-like look. Whether you opt for cornrows, flat twists, or chunky braids, this hairstyle exudes elegance and creativity.
This Valentine’s Day, let your hair reflect your mood—whether it’s romantic, bold, playful, or all of the above. Natural hair gives us the freedom to experiment and create, so don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try something new.
Love, MPL
