17 Celebrity-Inspired Valentine's Day Hair Ideas You'll Swoon Over (2024)

Hair chameleon Rihanna kept it classic with this retro-inspired look at Fenty Beauty event. First, invest in a good blowout. Then tease your hair at the crown for a bit of added volume. Congratulations, you are now Rihanna.

This slicked-backlook channels The Queen meets Simply Irresistible video. Use a wide rake comb (try this one from Mason Pearson) and a very powerful holding gel (like this one from Bumble and Bumble) to achieve Foy's look.

Chan went for a bow and braid at the Critic's Choice Awards. A simple messy braid is quickly elevated with a sleek velvet bow like this one from Lelet NY.

Let your face be the star of the show. Channel your inner J.Lo with a clean, snatched top knot. The man behind the hair, Chris Appleton, recommends leaving out a few wispy pieces around the face to add a bit of softness.

The '90s hair trend isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Opt for a middle part adorned with embellished clips for a sweet throwback vibe.

Soft curls are a classic because they look beautiful on just about everyone. Use a flat iron or a wand to create gentle curves that frame your face. Brush them out and smooth your wispies with a serum. Voila.

We are loving Rowan Blanchard’s exaggerated side part. Choose your best side, conquer the hairs, and divide. Add a bit of texture spray like Jen Atkin’s Ouai Texturizing Spray to spice it up if you have a blunt bob.

Tracee Ellis Ross looks like she belongs on Themyscira, the island of goddesses Wonder Woman came from. Get the look by creating a low ponytail and braiding your hair down one side. You can do a classic braid or experiment with a fishtail.

It’s all in the details. Turn the ballerina bun on its head by creating individual braids in the back sections before you pile the hair on top of your head. The high bun also shows off Brown’s cool ear jewelry and winged cat eye. We’re in love.

The Insta It Girl loves to pull her hair back and tight off her face (if we had those cheekbones, we would too). Show off your own bone structure with a similar sleek look: Section off the top of your hair to create a high, tight pony and smoote it down with a styling cream or gel. Use a flat iron to add a bit of flip to your ends for a retro touch.

Natural curls are inherently sexy, so brush yours out like Yara Shahidi. Part in the center, and massage hair oil throughout for maximum shine.

Veronica Lake waves are one of the most romantic hairstyles, but the addition of a gold accessory modernizes the look. Loop a few strands of metal chain onto a bobby pin, then secure and hide the pin underneath.

Lily Collins' hairstyle combines a sleek middle part with a messy low bun. After parting your hair in the middle and curling the bottom half of your hair, twist both sides back and twirl random sections into a bun, securing where necessary. Leave a few stray pieces at the front to frame your face.

Give a side braid hairstyle some added texture by teasing at your crown and flipping your hair over it with a messy deep part.

Vanessa Hudgens, a modern-day flower child, gave this braid crown a sweet touch with the addition of delicate flowers placed throughout.

Beach waves work mid-February, too. Try Jennifer Lawrence's beachy bob for a pretty yet undone look.

Here’s a look that turns flyaways into the star of the show. Leave a few curly pieces free in the front and place the rest in a high pony. Tousle the pony to create a carefree, easy style.
