If you’re looking for an effortless look that screams out romance, look no further, as these looks from Pinterest can be easily recreated to wear this Valentine’s Day.

1. The messy up-do

Take some inspiration from Alexa Chung and recreate this messy up do. Simply tie your hair up in a ponytail, then play around until you reach a messy bun. You can pull out your fringe or extra strands of hair to achieve the ‘effortless’ look and then finish with some dry shampoo such as this Co Lab one from ASOS that specifically will provide you with that va va voom. This look can go from the day to evening by adding a red lip and darkening the eyes.

4. Braids

A dutch braid is a flirty and fun look that you can easily play around with and make it your own style. For example, you can switch it up by choosing to do a side braid or braid only your fringe and leave the rest wavy.
