Two Cute Date Night Hairstyles with a Touch of Color

Last Updated January 08, 2026

Need an easy date night hairstyle that wows them every time? Celebrity hairstylist and makeup artist Millie Morales (@bbellabymillie) shows us how to create two night out hairstyles that are sure to go with any fun date idea: a romantic braided low bun and a glittery high ponytail.

To get ready, strengthen your locks by massaging in Fructis Sleek & Shine Fortifying Shampoo with protein-rich argan oil. After rinsing, achieve effortless shine by applying Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum. Give it a good blow dry with a large round brush, and you’re ready to style your date night hair!

LOOK 1: Romantic Braided Low Bun

This first night out hairstyle is a low bun braided with a dash of color that looks hot from every angle. While it works for most hair lengths, the key to this romantic hairstyle is getting everything nice and smooth for an elegant finish. Millie Morales shakes up this cute braided hairstyle with a silky scarf, but any ribbon or fabric strip also works like a charm.

STEP BY STEP ROMANTIC BRAIDED LOW BUN

Step 1

Comb out hair and make a clean middle part. Apply a little Fructis Humidity Control Hair Spray to your hand and smooth down each side.

Step 2

Leaving a few strands above each ear, tie hair back into a low ponytail. Apply Fructis Flat Iron Perfector Spray on these strands and carefully straighten with a flat iron.

Step 3

Tie a thick ribbon or silky scarf around the base of the ponytail. Separate hair into two equal parts, braid with the ribbon and wrap an elastic around the end. (Don’t worry if the ribbon is longer than your hair!)

Step 4

Twist the braid into a bun and tuck in any extra ribbon. Secure the bun in place with bobby pins.

LOOK 2: Glittery High Ponytail

Millie Morales’s second romantic date night hairstyle is a high ponytail with a hint of glitter. This super easy hairstyle always creates a striking effect that draws attention to the eyes. Go big and bold with accessories and try a dramatic eye look!
