"The 13 Prettiest Date-Night Hairstyles\\nRomantic waves. Shiny blowouts. Sexy tousled curls. The most feminine, flattering hairstyles also happen to be perfect for a first date, third date, bazillionth date...you get the idea.\\nDrew Barrymore\\n\\nA smooth blowout with a soft bend and incredible shine\u2014now that's romantic, says [Matt Fugate](http://www.allure.com/salon-spa-reviews/new-york-city/blowout), a hairstylist at Sally Hershberger Downtown in New York City. Use a large round brush when drying hair to add body all over and a lend slight curve at the ends (turn your face-framing layers away from your face and your ends under). When your hair is dry, mist on a shine spray from an arm's length away.\\n\\n\\n\\n__*ALLURE* TIP:__ A boar-bristle brush, like the [Ibiza EX3 round brush,](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/brush/2012/ibiza-ex3-medium-round-brush) grabs on to strands and creates tension, \\\"so you get really glassy hair,\\\" says Fugate.\\nKerry Washington\\n\\nSweeping your bangs to one side sexes up your look. (Hi, Kerry!) That's the easy part. Getting them to stay in place, however, is trickier. When your hair is still damp (it won't stay as well if you try pushing bangs over when they're dry), grab a small round brush and pop a nozzle attachment on your blow-dryer. Focus the heat at the roots of your bangs and brush them to one side.\\n\\n\\n\\n__*ALLURE* TIP:__ Hairstylist Nathaniel Hawkins recommends setting side-swept bangs with a water-free hair spray (we like [Tresemm\u00E9 Tres Two Spray](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/2010/tresemme-tres-two-ultra-fine-mist-hairspray)) to hold the shape and avoid frizz.\\nLily Collins\\n\\nTo get Collins's chic, subtle waves, wrap big sections around a one-and-a-half-inch curling iron, and then finger-comb through to separate. \\\"The bigger irons add a bend so it's not curly,\\\" says hairstylist [Nunzio Saviano.](http://www.allure.com/salon-spa-reviews/new-york-city/2013-best-of-the-best) And \\\"there's just enough movement so the hair doesn't fall flat.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n__*ALLURE* TIP:__ Every time you curl a piece of hair, Saviano suggests going in the opposite direction of the previous one. The texture will be less uniform and more natural.\\nDoutzen Kroes\\n\\nAnd now for the [Victoria's Secret moment](http://www.allure.com/hair-ideas/2012/victorias-secret-hair-how-to): big, extra glossy, and superwavy. To get Kroes's pretty (and relatively tame) waves, start with a rough blowout. \\\"You don't want it to be perfect,\\\" says Saviano. Then wrap just the ends around a large-barrel curling iron and smooth on a shine serum from the midshaft down.\\n\\n\\n\\n[](http://www.allure.com/hair-ideas/2012/victorias-secret-hair-how-to)\\nSarah Hyland\\n\\nWant to look polished and sexy? Pair glossy, defined waves with a deep side part. Use a one- to one-and-a-half-inch iron, holding it horizontally to create an old-school barrel curl like Hyland's, says Saviano.\\n\\n\\n\\n__*ALLURE* TIP:__ If you're working with second- or third-day hair, spritz dry conditioner (we love [Oribe Soft Dry Conditioner Spray](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/hair-spray/2014/oribe-soft-dry-conditioner-spray)) on from midshaft to the ends to add hydration and sheen.\\nJennifer Lawrence\\n\\nThere are only two things you need to know about styling a pixie cut: A piecey texture looks really friggin' cool, and you never, ever want a defined part. That's the key, according to Fugate: \\\"Otherwise, you start looking boyish or frumpy.\\\" Rub styling cream between your fingers, then run them forward from your crown to your forehead to dissolve the part and create a beautiful, disheveled style. Fugate likes [Dove Style+Care Frizz-Free Shine Cream-Serum.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/defrizzer/2014/dove-style-care-frizz-free-shine-cream-serum-review)\\nBeyonc\u00E9\\n\\nGo for a deep side part, gather your hair over the opposite shoulder, and boom\u2014you've upped your style quotient by about a billion. Plus, \\\"it looks like you're hiding under the hair, which is so flirty,\\\" says Fugate. The trick is getting it to stay that way for the entire night. To prevent an awkward mid-dinner flop, apply a strong-hold gel around your part when your hair is damp and blow-dry the spot.\\n\\n\\n\\n__*ALLURE* TIP:__ Insert a clip or a large bobby pin at the temples to help set the style. Place a tissue between the clip and your hair to prevent denting, and remove both before you leave.\\nKristen Stewart\\n\\nConstantly worrying if every strand is in its proper place will make you a very unfun date. Defeat hair anxiety by trying Stewart's intentionally unperfect hair. \\\"Scrunch a dollop of volumizing mousse through your hair and let it air-dry,\\\" says Fugate. (__Bumble and Bumble Thickening Full Form Mousse__ bulks strands without leaving a crunchy finish.) And forget about defining a part; keep it easy.\\nTaylor Swift\\n\\nLanguid waves and a ton of volume at the crown make Swift's half-up style soft and coquettish (and her awesome bangs don't hurt, either). Prep damp roots with a volumizing spray, like __L'Or\u00E9al Paris Everstyle Volume Root Lift Spray,__ and blast the roots at the crown while lifting your hair with a big round brush. For extra credit, wrap the hair at the crown around large Velcro rollers to set the height. Tousle the rest of your hair while you blow-dry, take out the rollers, and curl the length around a one-inch iron. Secure the half that's up with pins crisscrossed into an X (it looks cute and gives you the most secure hold).\\n\\n\\n\\n__*ALLURE* TIP:__ If your hair is fine, lightly back-comb your roots for lasting volume.\\nEmmy Rossum\\n\\nThe best way to revive limp hair is with texture. A lot of texture. To get Rossum's cool-girl waves, twist random sections of hair around a one-inch curling iron from the midshaft down, then douse them with dry shampoo for a roughed-up finish. By keeping the roots and ends straight, the style stays effortless and laid back.\\nLea Michele\\n\\n\\\"The bangs are relaxed, almost unfinished,\\\" says Saviano. Dry your bangs using the lowest airflow setting on your blow-dryer as you rake your fingers through to \\\"enhance the movement and separation on the ends,\\\" he says. Finish with a light-hold hair spray; pomades and waxes tend to be too heavy and greasy.\\nOlivia Wilde\\n\\nThis is the ultimate zero-effort hair. Wind the midshaft of your hair around a one-inch curling iron, leaving the last inch or two free. As the pieces cool, gently tug them at the bottom to loosen the shape, says Saviano. Tousle just the ends of the waves with your fingers to break up the curls and get Wilde's fullness.\\n\\n\\n\\n__*ALLURE* TIP:__ Mist a texturizing spray such as [Shu Uemura Art of Hair Liquid Fabric Mineral Texture Spray](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/2010/shu-uemura-mineral-texture-spray) all over for an even more piecey finish.\\nAmanda Seyfried\\n\\nShiny, bouncy curls are hyperfeminine. Seyfried's twist adds a hint of playfulness and ensures her hair falls over just one shoulder (hello, sexy). To make naturally curly hair superglossy, comb a lightweight curl lotion like [Redken Curvaceous Full Swirl Cream-Serum](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/curl-definer/2013/redken-curvaceous-full-swirl-cream-serum) through damp hair, coil two-inch pieces around your finger, then dry with a diffuser. (Yep, it's that easy.) Gather a small section of hair above one ear and (duh) twist, securing with small bobby pins that match your hair color.\\n\\n\\n\\n__*ALLURE* TIP:__ If you prefer a plait to a twist, try a reverse French braid: Layer the pieces under each other rather than over."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
