Valentine’s Day is all about love, romance, and unforgettable moments. Whether you’re going out for a dreamy dinner, spending a fun night with someone special, or enjoying a cozy meal at home, your look can set the tone for the evening. Aalim Hakim, Chief Styling Officer at Set Wet, shares three trending hairstyles to help you shine this February 14th. These styles are not only easy to achieve but will also keep you looking your best all night long.

1. The Faded Faux Hawk: Bold and Edgy

If you’re aiming to make a statement, the faded faux hawk is a standout choice. With short, faded sides and bold volume on top, this hairstyle exudes confidence and style. Aalim suggests using a small amount of wax to style the hair upwards for a textured, edgy look. To finish it off, use a hair spray to secure the style and keep it intact throughout the evening. This modern take on the mohawk adds a unique, fashionable touch to your Valentine’s Day look.

2. Modern Spiked-Up Hair: Classic and Structured

Spiked-up hair is a classic hairstyle that never goes out of fashion. For this timeless look, apply a medium to strong-hold styling gel and distribute it evenly through your hair. Shape and define the spikes with your fingers, running them from the base to the tips. Choose a gel that gives you the desired level of hold for a sharp, structured finish. This style will have you looking effortlessly cool and ready for any romantic occasion.

3. The Effortless Date-Night Look: Relaxed and Stylish

For a more laid-back yet polished look, go for a textured style. Aalim recommends using hair spray or a matte styling wax to create texture and hold. As you blow-dry, scrunch your hair gently with your hands to enhance natural waves. This gives you a relaxed, “effortlessly cool” vibe—like you woke up looking this good. Perfect for those who want a carefree but chic style that’s great for both casual dates and fancier evenings.

Hair Care Tips for Valentine’s Day

To achieve these styles, Aalim Hakim recommends using Set Wet’s range of hair styling products, including gels, waxes, sprays, and powders. These products are free from alcohol and harmful chemicals like sulphates, ensuring they maintain your hair’s moisture and health while styling.

This Valentine’s Day, take your look to the next level with one of these trendy hairstyles and feel confident, charming, and ready for romance.
