Valentine's Day holds the promise of love and time spent with your special someone. Whether you plan on going out on the town, or staying in for a romantic evening, you want your hair to look and feel great. The key to sexy hair is healthy hair, so be sure you use professional products to keep your hair looking and feeling its best. A great cut is essential. Find one that fits your facial shape and lifestyle. Your stylist can help you with this. If you find a celebrity style you love, ask him/her to make it yours.

For sexy Valentine's Day hair you have several choices. Hair accessories will make any length or style special. A pretty jeweled barrette, simple gold headband, or a large silk flower adds romance. Braided headbands are also very on-trend.

Volume can be achieved with root lift spray and volumizing mousse applied to towel dry hair. Then, try blow drying your hair while bent over, keeping your hair pulled forward. This adds a lot of volume and lift. A popular secret used by celebrity hairstylists is dry shampoo. Apply a bit of dry shampoo at the roots, and lightly brush your locks to boost the volume. You don't need much, just a spray or two will do the job.

A very chic option for Valentine's Day are curls on the ends of your hair. This is a nice switch from all-over curls or waves, and works best on medium and long length cuts. Use hot curlers and roll your hair halfway to a few inches up the hair shaft. Once your hair is cool, gently brush it out to create soft waves and curls. Use a bit of styling paste for a pieced out look.

Bone straight hair is another option for Valentine's night. Always remember to use a heat protecting product before using a flat iron. Section out your hair to make it easier to get the sleek look you want. Work from the nape of your neck towards your front hairline. Turn the very ends under to get a professional, polished look.

If you choose to wear a headband, backcomb the crown of your hair to get a current look. Simply lift your hair up just behind the hairline and gently comb back toward your scalp with a fine tooth comb. Continue to the middle of your crown until you get the lift you want, and then smooth the top hair with a brush. This technique also works well with a half updo. Bangs can be worn to the side, or chunky just above your eyebrows. The key is to keep everything balanced.

Although you want to smell great for your special date, don't spritz your hair with perfume or cologne. These may contain alcohol and can dry out your hair. Instead, choose a leave-in conditioner that smells great. Use a shine spray for an extra boost, and you'll be ready for your special night.
