High curly pony

When date night comes around, many of us automatically assume that to make a lasting impression, we have to go all out. As such, we often try sporting the most intricate hairstyles we can find. But in fact, keeping it simple can have more of an impact than trying to achieve complex ‘dos – especially when you’re dealing with curly hair.

Instead, why not opt for a high ponytail? Playful, fun and flirty, a high pony is a great way to show off your curls, while keeping them out of your face!

Let your curls flow free

Embracing the natural texture of your hair and showing off your curls in all their glory is sure to win over your date’s heart! We must admit, a perfectly undone look never fails to add an element of effortless romance and glamour.

To amp up the volume, we’d recommend using a healthy dose of the Toni&Guy Casual Rough Texturiser (£7.49*) to enhance the natural texture of your hair even further! You really can’t beat big, bouncy curls to make a memorable impression on that all important first date. Credit: @itsthevictorianera

Side pony

If you’re heading out to meet your date straight from the office, then you’ll need a quick and easy hairstyle that looks far more put-together than it actually is. And we have just the thing: A side pony! Chic and stylish, with just the right amount of playful charm, the curly side pony is the perfectly simple, yet polished look that’ll take you straight from restaurant to bar. 

To get the look, simply pull your curls over to one side and secure them into a pontail. Finish the look with a mist of TRESemmé Perfectly (un)Done Ultra Brushable Hairspray (250ml, £5.50) to tame any flyaways, while still allowing plenty of movement in your curls. Trust us, your date won’t be able to take his/her eyes off you! Credit: @emily23595_
