Virtual Date Hairstyles Ranked by Popularity
1. Straight
It’s no surprise that the most popular first date hairstyle is a sleek straight style. Upgrade your usual straight strands by washing with Suave Cactus Flower Shine Shampoo and Conditioner before you style! This duo adds shine and nourishment to your strands without weighing them down. Be sure to plug your ring light in before your date starts so the glow catches that newfound shine in your tresses!
2. Ponytail
After that, the next most popular style is a classic ponytail. Make your go-to ‘chilling at home’ style date night-friendly by grabbing an accessory. A simple ribbon will do the trick! Simply knot it around the base of your ponytail and then tie the ribbon into a bow.
3. Down
It’s no surprise that a super popular first date style is simply…wearing your hair down. Give your strands some oomph by blow-drying them! Prep with Nexxus Weightless Style Smooth & Full Blow Dry Balm and turn your head upside down while you blow-dry for some major volume.
4. Curled
Nothing says ‘romantic date night’ like some glamorous curls! Use a 1 1/2-inch curling iron to create these movie star inspired curls.
5. Casual
Many women prefer a casual hairstyle for a first date for a super laidback look. Upgrade a casual ponytail with an easy braid!
6. Bun
A classic bun is a chic and romantic style so it’s no surprise that it’s pretty popular, too. Change it up by pulling out a few face-framing pieces for a sexy and sultry look.
7. Braids
Braids are a super popular first date style and we couldn’t be bigger fans! Upgrade the look by wearing a pair of statement earrings to draw even more attention to your style.
8. Box Braids
Show off those braids and keep your hair out of your face for your virtual date night by pulling them up into a half-up bun! This style is date night appropriate without requiring too much effort. Win-win!
