Romantic hairstyles: ideas for straight, wavy or curly hair

“THE short hair is enhanced through light textures and targeted details, while on long hair, soft waves or unstructured updos are particularly effective. The goal is always to enhance the hair, not transform it” specifies the hairstylist.
Romantic accessories: bows and jeweled hairpins
«The ideal accessories are minimal and refined. Jewel hairpins, thin clips, golden details or small ribbons they can enrich the hairstyle without weighing it down. On Valentine’s Day the accessory must communicate with the looknever overpower it: elegance comes from balance and measure” continues Alessandro Maritato.
