A first date can be nerve-racking! Will you like him? What will you wear?

For our beauties, the next question is: How will I wear my hair?!

We sat down at the NYC VIP screening of the Obamas love story Southside with You to talk first-date hair with some of your favorite influencers for the best first-date hair advice.

GO BIG

Actress, performer, and spokesmodel Africa Miranda spoke exclusively to HelloBeautiful about first-date hair. “Go big!” she recommends. Big hair will highlight your even bigger personality. Do a twist out, wear your Afro! Use Shea Moisture, Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie for soft, defined curls. Just know he’s going to want to run his fingers through your lovely hair!

TOP KNOT

Recording artist and Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta star Betty Idol was on the scene and talked first-date hair.

While she loves her loose beach wave tresses, a busy girl can be in a rush! She recommends a top-knot hairstyle for when you have a big date and a short amount of time to get ready. We love stylist Shana Charles’ top-knot look which she had on full display at the premiere of Southside with You.

When achieving your top knot, use Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen, Grow & Restore Edge Treatment to keep your edges laid, moisturized and growing!

LOOSE WAVES

Like Betty stated, loose waves are great for a first date. They give off a feminine vibe. We love how singer Ciara wore her hair for the Apollo Benefit Gala. With loose waves, you look effortlessly beautiful. To create and maintain a Yucca & Plantain Anti-Breakage Defining Lotion  It’s also a great summer hairstyle that will have your date jonesing to whisk you away to a beach vacation.

Beauties, which first-date hairstyle is your favorite?
