Editor-in-Chief

As Valentine’s Day approaches, it’s not just about what’s in the box of chocolates or what you wear. Your hairstyle can be the cherry on top for this special day. Who better to look to for advice than Linda Miller, a top hair guru? Linda knows the ins and outs of hair. Let’s tap into her wisdom and get her advice for the perfect Valentine’s Day look.

Hair Type and Valentine’s Day

For those with long, wavy locks, Linda offers a simple tip. “Use hot rollers,” she says. “They are super easy. Just roll your hair up and pin it down. Let it cool off then take them out.” She reminds us that it only takes a few minutes and gives you voluminous curls. For those who want a different look, a curling iron is just as good. A wand can give you a loose wave or a popular beach wave if you use it that way.

Understanding Your Face Shape

If you’re rocking short, fine hair, Linda has a pro tip. She suggests a volumizing product. “Use it at your roots,” she adds. This simple move will help give your hair the fullness it needs. Style it with a round brush to make it look its best.
