Arrow Braid Heart Hairstyle For Valentine's Day
Our hair tutorial this week is a pretty half-up heart hairstyle. We have combined an arrowhead/ladder braid with a "heart knot" to create this fun new Valentine's hairstyle for 2018.
Over the years, valentines and heart hairstyles have been some of our favorite styles to create. If you are looking for heart hairstyle ideas, we have more than we can count on our website, some of them dating back to 08'! You can check those out here: Heart Hairstyle Ideas
Arrow Braid Heart Hairstyle Video Tutorial: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
You might remember a style we posted several years ago called the "heart knot hairstyle" which has been quite popular on social media. And then last year we added one of our favorite and easiest Valentine's hairstyles, the "hanging heart ponytail" which uses the heart knot technique shown in today's video. We decided to combine the heart knot technique with a ladder braid... which sort of ended up looking like an arrowhead braid or fairy wings braid and we are loving how it turned out!
Supplies needed to recreate this hairstyle:
- 4 small/medium size hair elastics.
- Several clips or hair ties to temporarily hold the hair while you are working.
- Pomade, gel, hair wax or other product to help avoid flyaways.
- Long or medium length hair.
This style would not only be cute for valentine's day, it would also make an adorable flower girl hairstyle for a wedding or other special occasion. Hearts can really be worn year round!
Valentine's Day Hairstyle For Teens! Braided Faux Hawk With Heart Braid Accent
Looking for heart hairstyles? You'll love this braided faux hawk with an adorable heart accent.
We love heart hairstyles and have traditionally added a few heart themed tutorials each year on our hair4myprincess YouTube Channel and Princess Hairstyles blog. As my daughter is now a teenager, we wanted something a little more grown up this year. We are loving the combination of an edgy and contemporary faux hawk mixed with a super cute and dainty heart. Like denim and lace, this unexpected combo is very chic! This Valentine's hairstyle would be perfect for school, work, Valentine's Day parties and dances, weddings, and other special or casual occasions.
Braided Faux Hawk and Heart Accent Video Tutorial: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
This style was created by combining several techniques: a voluminous french braid faux hawk, a standard ponytail, and a cute heart accent braid which was inspired by several tutorials we have seen on Instagram and Youtube. Cute Girls Hairstyles, Brown Haired Bliss, Learn Do Teach Hairstyles, Two Little Girls Hairstyles, Easy Toddler Hairstyles and Toddler Hair Ideas are just a few accounts where we remember seeing this type of braided heart.
If you would rather rope twist, fishtail, or leave the hair unbraided in your heart, you could do that instead for a slightly different look. You could also add another heart directly underneath the first one for a double heart look! As mentioned in our video tutorial, a piece of hair could be wrapped around the top of the ponytail for a modern and sophisticated looking finish.

Prom & Wedding Hairstyle! Romantic Updo With Twists & Braids
In today's hair tutorial we show an easy, elegant, and pretty updo for special occasions. This romantic hairstyle with twists and braids is glamorous, sophisticated, and fancy. Similar to something you might see on the red carpet, but can be created quite easily in your own home! This gorgeous style would be great for many occasions such as Prom, Homecoming, Weddings (bridal, bridesmaids, and flower girls) recitals, communions, holidays, date night, Instagram photos, etc.
Romantic Updo With Twists and Braids Video Tutorial: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
In our step by step video tutorial (above) we use a topsy tail to create the first twisted section. These tools can be found online (affiliate.) This tool is optional, if you do not have a topsy tail, the twists can be made by pulling the hair through with just your fingers. As mentioned in our video, there really is no exact science for creating this hairstyle. After making the basic twists and braids, you can use your own creativity to loosen, pull, and pin up the final look and much of this will depend on the length and texture of the hair you are working with.
This up-style will work best on long hair and medium hair. Curly, wavy, or straight.
Supplies needed to recreate this hairstyle:
- Several small/medium clear hair elastics. (We used 5.)
- Bobby pins. Our favorite brand and best we have found for holding the hair in place is Sally Beauty Supply min pins (affiliate.)
- Topsy Tail (affiliate) (optional.)
- Finishing hairspray.
- Flat iron, curling wand, or curling iron for face framing curls.

Sleep Styler Review and Demo!
Today we are testing The Sleep Styler (as seen on Shark Tank) on long, straight, and fine hair! As mentioned in our video tutorial and review video (below) their instruction manual did state that you may not get great results if you have straight/fine or hard to curl hair and recommend their mini rollers instead. The large rollers that we used in this video were typically made for people with long and thick, frizzy, curly or textured hair. We wanted to try them out anyway to see what kind of results we could achieve. My daughter has been loving loose, wavy curls lately over tight ringlet type curls. Maybe at some point we will test the mini rollers to see if we like them better. This is our first impression of the product as we have not used them before!
Check out our Sleep Styler review and demo video to see our results below! (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
In this video we give some tips and tricks for using these curlers as well as showing our results. The most important tip is to start with slightly damp, but not wet hair. Even though these are made with "absorbent yoga towel fabric" your curls will not dry completely if your hair is soaking wet when you roll it up (even overnight.) We also show how to place the straps so that the velcro ends up facing the correct way at the bottom of the rollers.
The core of these rollers is memory foam, so they are super soft, although my daughter said they weren't extremely comfortable to sleep in. I don't think any heat-less overnight curlers really are!
The sleep styler can be found online on Amazon. (Affiliate)
I would recommend adding hairspray or other product when the rollers come out for longer lasting curls.
