Macadamia Natural Oil's Director of Education Michael Cain discusses what hairstyle ideas to try for Valentine's Day using Macadamia Natural Oil products.
Q: What’s a good date night hairstyle to try for Valentine’s Day?
Michael Cain: It all depends on what you’re doing for Valentine’s Day. Going on a first date? In a relationship? Out with the girls?
First let’s start with probably the most exciting and nail-biting: the first date. A lot of anticipation and expectations are being place on a day like Valentine’s. Make it count since it may be a story retold for generations. Go for timeless beauty. Touchable, smooth, voluminous blowouts like Julianne Hough’s are polished, sexy and attention grabbers. Start by using Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment on damp hair. Proceed to blow dry by using the Macadamia 100% Boar Bristle round brush. The 100% boar bristles will soothe and flatten roughed-up cuticles and distribute the hairs’ natural oils creating a beautiful, smooth surface. The unique ceramic barrel provides the ultimate control in designing body, wave or curl for a full night of romance.
A night out with the girls is definitely more low-key and fun. Cupid still may strike on this fateful night so be prepared and go for something fun and sexy. A high ponytail like Olivia Wilde’s with slicked-back sides puts an edgy and fun twist on approachability. Start by applying Healing Oil Treatment on damp hair from root to tip, blow out straight with a Macadamia 100% Boar Paddle Brush with ionic pins. The Paddle brush is great for smoothing and straightening hair and the Boar Bristles will work to create a smooth glassy surface. Take a little extra Healing Oil Treatment and gloss down just the sides for added drama then pull high.
Being in a relationship you may feel like a seasoned V-Day veteran and this day may seem a little routine. Take this opportunity to capture some renewed romance and surprise your mate with some soft romance. A chignon with a few loose locks like Michelle William’s creates a romantic soft effect, drawing in a renewed perspective. Start by applying Reviving Curl Cream on clean damp hair ends, then slightly scrunch the ends and air dry or dry with a blow dryer on a low setting. When hair is dry, pull the hair back and twist and fasten at the nape of the neck. It is not necessary to pull all hair back as the loose strands create the soft and effortless style of the look. Finish off with Healing Oil Spray for some added shine and fragrance.
