It's almost February which means the month of love is upon us. What better time to embrace romantic, loose waves than this time of year? If you're anything like us however, squeezing in a full-blown GRWM sesh before going on a date, especially on weeknights can be a real challenge. Here to help us take our hair from daytime to date night, is our beautiful friend Elanna. Enjoy the video below, or scroll down for a step-by-step tutorial.
Tools Needed
- Luxy Hair Extensions
- 1 1/2 Inch Curling Wand
- Scrunchie or Hair Tie
- Wave Spray
- 3 Bobby Pins
- Hair Brush
Daytime Effortless Waves
Step One
Starting with freshly blow dried hair, section off the bottom portion of your hair. Tie the remainder of the hair up in a hair tie or scrunchie for easy access.
Step Two
Using a 1 1/2 inch curling wand, begin to curl small sections of hair. When curling, be sure to curl the pieces away from your face and leave out about 1 inch of the hair at the bottom for a more piecey and effortless look.
Quick Tip: If you have shorter hair, be sure to leave a 1 inch section out at the bottom of the curl to maintain some length.
Step Three
One your full head of hair is curled, lightly mist your hair with a wave spray of your choice. Then, use your fingers to break up the curls and add volume at the roots.
Date Night Glam
Step One
Section off the bottom of your hair, clipping the rest of your hair out of the way. With this bottom section of hair, braid the strand into a small, tight braid and pin to the back of your head. This will prevent your shorter layers from peaking through when adding your Luxy Hair extensions.

Step Two
Clip two three-clip wefts of Luxy Hair extensions in at the base of your head and use your 1 1/2 inch curling wand to blend in your natural hair with the extensions. Continue sectioning off your hair, adding clip-in extensions, and blending with a curling wand until your entire set of Luxy hair extensions have been added.
Step Three
Clip two three-clip wefts of Luxy Hair extensions in at the base of your head and use your 1 1/2 inch curling wand to blend in your natural hair with the extensions. Continue sectioning off your hair, adding clip-in extensions, and blending with a curling wand until your entire set of Luxy hair extensions have been added.
Quick Tip: Pre-curl your extensions so you can quickly clip them in to take your look from day to night.
Step Four
Finish off your curls by spraying your hair with hairspray and smoothing out everything with a brush.
Step Five
To elevate your look for a romantic date night, smooth the left side of your hair to the side of your head and secure with three sparkly bobby pins for some extra glamour.
Step Six
Play up the old Hollywood vibes of this look by adding a bold lipstick in a vampy shade. So romantic!
There you have it - a simple way to transform your everyday curls into a romantic date night look. Now there's no excuse to say no to that cute guy who invited you out for drinks after work ;)
