Starting with a cute new hairstyle to go with your cute new outfit.Worried your frazzled locks won’t stand up to another session on the heated tools? Don’t stress, babe – looking good doesn’t have to come at the cost of your strands. Our round-up of 100% heatless date night looks will have you looking HOT – while ensuring your hair stays comfortably cool. Read on.1. Velcro Roller Bouncy ‘Blow Out’Date night hair calls for va-va-voom volume – and Velcro rollers will give you the root lift you’ve dreamed of. Plus the type of smooth, sexy, shampoo commercial locks you’ll love swishing about. Get the look: A dreamy date night look can be achieved with Velcro rollers on damp or dry hair, with or without a hairdryer. And you’ll get a different result depending on your hair’s natural texture, layering, the size of roller you use and your desired look – from a big ‘90s blow-out effect to bouncy curls and soft waves. As a rule, big rollers = big volume and small rollers = soft curls. You’ll want to leave rollers in for at least 15 minutes on dry locks, and much longer if air-drying. Not sure how to position your rollers and use over-direction for maximum volume? There are nearly 150 million views for #velcrorollers content on TikTok – so find the one that works best for you. The products: This look is all about that volume, so we recommend starting with a volumising spray or mousse on your roots. One of the biggest bugbears with Velcro rollers is that they can get caught in your strands (been there!). So make sure you comb through a leave-in conditioner before popping in your rollers. Ours hydrates and detangles like a dream while fighting frizz and improving manageability. 2. Bubble PonyA ponytail’s a date night no-brainer – but why not give yours a TikTok-approved twist?
