Nexxus Maxximum Finishing Mist is the secret to beachy waves. This product adds some serious volume and texture to your hair.

Comb the product throughout your damp hair and scrunch it to guide your curls into place. Let it air-dry or sleep on it for maximum ease. Top it with your favorite hat for the ultimate Galentine’s Day-approved hairstyle.

2. Straight and Sleek

This combination of products will give you the softest and sleekest hair you’ve ever had.

Start off by protecting your strands with Dove Style+Care Smooth and Shine Heat Protection Spray and run a straightening iron from your roots to your ends.

Setting your hair straightener on a higher setting will get the job done quicker and a few drops of Suave Moroccan Infusion Styling Oil combed through your ends will give you that added shine.

3. Top Knot

Fall back on your favorite style.

Embrace that just rolled out bed style that’s perfectly socially acceptable right now. Gather your hair up into a chic twisted top knot and let a few coats of mascara and your winged eyeliner do all the talking.

4. Deep Side Part

Switch up your part for a totally new look.

In need of a quick and easy hairstyle switch up? Just go for a deep side part to completely change your look in seconds! This look is particularly good for second day hair as it adds extra volume and conceals any oil build up.

5. Mini Braid Headband

If a braided headband isn’t your thing how about a real one? Statement headbands took the scene in 2020 and show no sign of going anywhere this year! Try a red or pink headband to really dress for the occasion, and some soft curls and your look is complete.

7. Pink Wig
