Date night always gives a fun excuse to get all dolled up and pretty. Most week days, I don’t do much with my hair or make-up, but when date night rolls around I always make a big deal out of getting done up and looking pretty for my date – my hubby!

Date Night Hairstyles for Medium Hair

Here’s one of my favorite date night hairstyles for medium hair because it’s so simple to do and yet makes my hair looks like it has body. Start by straightening your hair, if your hair is not naturally straight. Once your hair is straight, curl 6-8 sections of hair about 1″ or less thick of hair at different points around your hair. This gives you just enough curl to have interest and body.

Date Night Hairstyles for Medium Hair

Have you been watching Andi on The Bachelorette? I love watching The Bachlorette and seeing the drama as it unfolds and the romantic dates as they happen. Plus, I’m always wowed by the gorgeous dresses! I have to admit, the commercials this season have been catching my eye as much as the show! Suave Professionals is showing off some of the previous Bachelorettes and sharing beauty tips with getting an update on the past contestants.

Suave Date Night Hair

I loved the date where Andi and Eric headed from the beach to a snowy mountain top in a single day, that would be such a surreal experience. My husband and I may not go on such amazing dates, but we do love getting out and the excuses to get all dolled up and pretty.聽

The Bachelorette airs Mondays at聽8|7c on ABC and features tips on how to get date night worthy hair. You can create your own beautiful date night ready hair with Suave. The Suave Professionals product gives you great results just like top salon brands with cleansed and conditioned hair and naturally-infused moisture!

  2. I’ve never seen the show. I don’t have a TV (and don’t consider watching on my computer)
    Thanks for the contest.

  5. I’m enjoying this year’s season of the Bachelorette, it’s been great so far!

  6. My usual routine most definitely involves me straightening my hair. It is unbelievable how much of a difference my hair makes that way. I look like a completely different person with straight hair 馃檪

  10. i put mousse in my hair and blow it dry to get ready for a date night with hubby

  17. I actually like this season of The Bachelorette. I like that Andi is a highly educated woman and she has a mostly well-rounded set of guys.

  18. I dont watch the bachlorette! But to get ready for date night with the hubs I get dressed up and do my hair wear it down!

  19. I’m not a fan of the show. When I go out with my man I put on make up and a nice dress or nice top.

  21. I have been married for 28 years and evened when we dated I never took much time getting ready since I never wor make up and my hair is easy to style. I only spend more time when we go to special functions like weddings or something like that.

  22. I get ready for date night with cosmetics, doing my hair and sending my daughter to her sister’s house. 馃檪

  25. I’m divorced so I have way to many date nights where I have to squeeze into spanx! =)

  26. I get ready for date night by having the sitter come over early so I can take a shower and get ready in peace.

  27. I rarely have date night anymore.I do good to make sure I have something other than a t-shirt to wear out lol.My teenagers like to play with my hair and either curl it or straighten it.

  28. Date nite? Usually that is on my birthday and involves throwing on some jeans.

  29. Date night = show time so I’m like a freshly unwrapped human female. Clean skin, clean hair, shaved skin, shiny rounded nails, etc . . .

  30. The main thing I worry about when planning to go anywhere special, including a date is the clothes I will wear. I get them ready ahead of time and everything else goes pretty smooth.

  31. I get ready by doing my hair as nice as I can….make up and a cute outfit

  32. I don’t watch the show. On date nights, I try to do a smokey eye to look hotter.

  33. I get ready for date night by taking a bath and putting up my hair up in curlers. I listen to music as I get ready.

  34. I actually shave my whole leg not just the bottom halves, use the expensive shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, and facewash not that it’s better but it makes me feel good.

  35. I don’t really do anything special for date night except for maybe wearing a new outfit
    annabella @ centurytel dot net

  39. I am not real familiar with the show but first I get a baby sitter, then pick out an outfit do my hair and makeup

  40. Sorry, I think The Bachelorette (and The Bachelor) are mind numbingly horrible and I regret the 20 minutes I watched one night as 20 minutes I will never get back.

  41. I get ready for date nights by making myself have more flair with my hair, makeup, and outfit choices. I tend to be pretty basic with my everyday dressing so I like to take it up a notch for date nights.

  42. Date night doesn’t happen very often around here, but when we do go out, I try to spend some extra time getting really dressed up. I like to make the most out of the few dates I get!

    coriwestphal at msn dot com

  44. I always get a pedicure and a manicure before doing my own hair, make up and picking a new outfit.

  46. I just fix my hair, wear makeup and wear my best jeans to go out on date night.

  50. We havent had a date night since my 1st daughter was born and she is now 7 years old. Think its about time!

  51. this season is ok, I dont really see a lot of potential people that would be a good fit and from the previews it looks like at some point she is going to say she is done, makes me think she walks away from things easily

  53. I curl my hair and put on my make-up, my going out perfume and a Western shirt and cowgirl boots.

  54. Do my nails, use hot rollers, apply makeup and try to wear a fav of my hubby’s.

  56. I always wash my hair and let it air dry as my husbands loves it down and with curls, put makeup on (which I don’t wear around the house), and my nicest outfit for a night out with my hubby.

    jweezie43[at]gmail[dot]com

  59. Usually I start planning a date night a week in advance and try to find lots of fun, creative things to do- then I will spend time before doing my hair and possible putting on some make up!

  60. I don’t watch the bachelorette series, I use light make up with a nice dress , Thank you!

  62. I do not watch reality shows on tv. I honestly do not watch much tv. For a date night with my husband, I like to get dressed up and have my hair curly;)

  64. I pick out and outfit do my hair and off we go we always have a fun night

  67. I don’t watch that show and I haven’t been on a date in 30 years. However, I am newly single so it’s possible I could have a date in the future.

  69. I don’t take long to get ready! I usually blow dry / straighten my hair and put on light make up!

  70. I haven’t had a date night in ages! Now it would just comprise of dropping my girls off. We really need to schedule a night out! Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!

  71. On date night I usually keep it simple, a few curls or sometimes all straight. It depends on the weather.

  72. for date night I put some curls in my hair and apply make up…things I normally don’t do

  74. I get ready for date night by styling my hair, wearing my makeup and jewelry and putting a nice dress on.

  75. I do about the same thing with my hair. I like it longer but it is very straight and thin. I like to try and add a little curl and wave here and there and sometimes put it up in a hairband which makes it look a little bit fuller. I haven’t watched the bachelorette (can barely remember how to spell it) in a while because I don’t have broadcast television.

  76. i take a relaxing bath and take my time getting ready… always pretending the date is an hr before it really is.

  77. I take a shower, fix my hair, and wear something nicer than a t-shirt with basketball shorts.

  78. I DON’T blow dry my hair but do squeeze it in clumpy handfuls as it dries precisely to bring out and enhance the natural waves and slight curliness!

    I’ve only seen The Bachelor/Bachelorette shows once or twice and that was YEARS ago. Honestly, I consider these shows (and others like them) to be glaring examples of how “TV is (but shouldn’t be) a vast wasteland” and evidence of how far we have fallen culturally that we actually enjoy watching this stuff!

  79. For date night, I usually put on a little more make up, straighten my hair, and put on the high heels.

  80. my husband works 6 days a week long hrs so his day off is family day kids then later date night, so i get all dolled up to look my best and am always looking for changes..

  83. Whenever my husband and I get ready for a date night I always like for him to pick out my outfit because I love it when he is happy and enjoying what I am wearing. I also take time to curl my hair and really make it look extra special.

  84. To get ready for date night I actually straighten my hair instead of my everyday ponytail!

  86. I haven’t had a date night in soo long! And with a 3 week old baby, I don’t forsee one in the near future.

  87. We don’t get to have date nights often. But when we do, I do my hair and makeup. I wear a pretty shirt and some cute boots or heals.

  88. Date night means being clean, fresh, and relaxed, so showering, lotioning and powdering are a must. Taking a bit of time to put stylish barrettes or a headband onto loose curls and a light application of makeup put a little sparkle into my appearance!

  90. Well since I have been married for 20 years, I just throw on my good jeans and I am ready to go. LOL

  91. I’ve never seen the Bachelorette. And I don’t get to go on many dates. But when we do go out, I make sure to blowdry my hair straight. It’s naturally curly/wavy and always looks messy if I keep it that way.

  92. For a date night I spray my favorite scent on my body and hair, and put on more than my usual minimal makeup. I style my hair with some root lifter and a curling iron.

  93. I dress more carefully for date night and maybe put on a little makeup, but generally my husband likes a natural look.

  95. I take a nice cool shower and get pretty for my husband for date night. Make sure the kids are fed and take them over to the sitter.

  97. I get ready for date night by having a mini spa session at home beforehand: Mani/pedi, lovely bubbly bath, etc.

  98. I haven’t seen the bachelorette the last few seasons, but I used to hooked. I spend a moderate amount of time on my hair, but not as much as I used to when I was in my 20s and 30s.

  100. I don’t get a date night too often, as hubby works..a lot. But when I do, I do my hair, nails and makeup. It takes a while sometimes..lol

  101. When I have a date night I get all cleaned up and smellin’ good 馃槢 straighten my hair, cute top and jeans and natural makeup.

  103. I am a low maintenance girl and almost always were jeans and a ponytail, so I ttyr to step it up a notch and wear my hair down with a special flirty outfit!

  104. I get dolled up for date night by spending extra time fixing my hair up. I usually blow dry it straight and then take a flat iron to it and I wear my hair down. Thanks for the chance!

  105. I do my makeup, and I do my hair which doesn’t happen every day, lol.

  106. I like to take an actual shower for date night, not just a 5 min shower I get while the kids are entertained by Paw Patrol

    demureprincess7(at)gmail(dot)com

  111. I really don’t do anything different for date night other than dress up a little! I don’t watch the Bachelorette so no idea on that one!

  112. This season of the Batchelorette started out sad because one of the contestants died in a hang gliding accident. I think that it is very interesting to see all the gorgeous men and I can not wait to see who Andi picks.

  113. I only watch the Bachelorette when my best friend is over, it is like a guilty pleasure.

  114. I usually like watching the bachelorette but as years go by the show just gets more boring

  115. My husband and I usually spend our dates doing something outside or attending some sporting event so I don鈥檛 spend a lot of time getting dolled up. I鈥檒l just wear a nice headband or clip that my husband likes, put on some concealer and lip gloss, and a flattering outfit.

  116. I think this season of the Bachelorette is exciting to watch. I like seeing how the men try to get time with Andie and what dates they go on

  117. i get ready by making sure i don’t need a pedicure, and making sure i have had plenty of sleep, thanks!

  118. The Bachelorette is RIDICULOUS this season. My hair looks the same all the time…too short to do anything different for date nights.

  119. I soak in a bubble bath to relax then I put on a nice outfit and do my hair.

  121. I have had one date night in 4 years, but I really dolled up. I did my hair, nails, put on makeup, and did it right for my man. Of course, I am the type to wear eye makeup, perfume, and fix my hair everyday so tha tI stay attractive to him

  126. I get ready by putting makeup on. I don’t have to “do” my hair because it’s really short. And, I don’t watch the bachelorette.

  127. Gosh I haven’t been on a date in years.I haven’t found my prince charming yet but I’m sure he’s out there somewhere.When I used to get ready to go out I’d curl my hair and do my makeup. I don’t watch the Bachelorette.Thank you for the awesome giveaway 馃檪

  130. I get ready for date night by curling my shoulder length hair. Thanks SO much for the chance to win!

  132. Yes I get dressed up for date night I don’t have many chances to wear my nice clothes anymore so i take every chance I get to get all dolled up I think it makes me feel better!

  134. I love soft curls for date night. I also use Jewelery to play up my outfit. It’s fun to dress up for your spouse and have fun

  136. to get ready for date night i like to do straighten my hair, put on some natural looking makeup and then put on some nice clothes so that i can impress who ever i am going out with.

  137. This season of the bachlorette is fantastic. There are so many great guys to choose from. This will be tough. I’m sure she’ll make the right decision.

  138. I take a warm bubble bath and get my hair pinned up and wear something that is dressy casual.

  145. I get ready for date night with natural looking makeup, styling my hair in loose waves and dressing up my skinny jeans with cute boots and a flowing top.

  149. Date night requires my sister coming over and helping me pick out what to wear since I’m severely fashion-impaired!

  151. I get ready for date night by styling my hair, wearing my favorite makeup and jewelry and putting a nice dress on.

  153. Wow ! This season of the Bachelorette has been eye opening! Sh does have some real winners to choose form.

  154. We both have office jobs so our date night involve dressing down – wearing comfortable clothes out

  155. I had very high hopes for this season’s bachelorette that they would show Andi as the very smart woman that she is, and not let it be just like every other season. I would have liked to see smarter guys too. She has a doctorate…come on ABC!

  156. I get ready by planning ahead and not getting nervous..Thats the good thing about having OCD.

  157. My husband and I are very low maintenance. He’s a very liberated, modern 21st century guy and he only wants me to dress and ‘pretty’ up if I want to. So I don’t do it very often but sometimes when I feel like it.

  158. I’m pretty low maintenance. A shower, some clean clothes, and I’m good to go.

  161. Date night. What’s that? It’s been a long time since I had a date night with my husband. But, I would definitely do my hair and wear a nice outfit.

  163. I like to have a nice relaxing shower and take my time getting pretty and dressed up. I dont get to do it often so when we do go out I want to do it right. Go big or go home haha

  164. I don’t do too much but I do take some time to make sure my hair is clean and blow-dried and I put a little makup on, just so I don’t look like a frazzled mom! I like your hair, it’s a little special without being over the top or super hard.

  166. Make sure I get enough rest stay hydrated take a nice long walk and before I head out on my date a refreshing shower

  167. With 3 young boys, my husband and I rarely get a date night, but when I do, I always dress my best and go a little more dramatic with the makeup and my hair usually gets curled instead of straightened.

  168. I like to get ready by picking out a nice outfit/shoes and jewelry. Fixing my hair and making myself gorgeous with makeup.

  169. It has been many years since I’ve had to get dolled-up for date night. I’d love an excuse to get my hair fixed and I think I remember how to apply makeup. Maybe I should get glammed up to watch “The Bachelorette” and fantasize 馃槈

  170. My hair can’t take a lot of hair spray so I use a very light mist for those stupid flyaways, and sometimes I will curl the ends to give it more body. But since I already have thick hair, there isn’t much I can do to tame the beast!

  171. what is date night? I haven’t been anywhere with just hubby and I in years. I would actually wear makeup if we were to go out alone. I would also straighten my hair instead of just throwing mousse in it. Thank you!

  172. I make sure I get a trustworthy sitter. He cares more about that than how I look!

  173. I make sure my makeup is perfect, I smell good and have something on that looks good but is still comfortable!

  188. I like to get out of “mom” mode when my husband & I go out so I take more time with my hair & makeup!

  190. I might put on some makeup and body spray for date night with my husband. I do my best to look nice but not overdone and go enjoy time with him.

  191. I rarely watch tv other than the news, so have never seen the Bachelorette. I usually take a shower and put on fresh makeup for a date.

  192. I try to get a nap in before date night, and I pay way more attention to my hair.

  193. I get ready for date-night by taking a nice relaxing shower and shave. After I’m all dried off I put my make-up on and then I get dressed.

  194. I usually straighten my hair and put on some makeup for date night. Nothing too special.

  200. We hardly ever get the chance to have a date night but when we do, I try to dress up and do make up and stuff I don’t usually do. Date night is so special.

  201. I think this season of the Bachelorette is pretty good, I liked Andi a lot last season, I am hoping she finds true love!

  202. how i would get reddy for a date night i would start with a long hothath and then i would put on some smelly perfume stuff and then i would carefully pick out the clothes that i would be useing for the occasion put them on adjust my hair check myself out in the mirror brush teeth and use mouthwash and breath spray to bring along and away we go

  203. To be honest, I slip on my pj’s, pop some popcorn, and curl up on the couch with my 2 dates, my loving dogs.

  205. everything seems so dramatic and staged on the bachelorette I’ve seen the previews but just won’t watch it

  206. How do I get ready for date night? Well I wash my hair and shave the night before. I also pick out my outfit, so all I have to do is worry about taking a quick shower and fixing makeup before I leave. With 3 kids that is a must.

  208. Date night??? Is there such a thing anymore? I wish I’d get Date Night. What I get now is “date Matinee with a GRANDKID” The husband just sleeps on the sofa all the time whenever he is home. *sigh* Oh how things do change. LOL
    But, when I get dolled up, I DO love to curl my hair with hot rollers. Oh those make your hair turn out so nice.

  215. Don’t do to much to prepare for date night, just try to look nice! Don’t watch The Bachelorette!

  216. I take a shower, Wash and shampoo my hair, Put tons of conditioner in my hair. Perfume and little black dress and pumps. Foundation and lipstick good to go

  218. I get ready for date night by putting on makeup and doing something with my haor- oh and not wearing my Crocs from gardening. He doesnt like the Crocs 馃檪

  220. I like to either curl my hair or put it up, maybe a pretty maxi dress and jewelry, and some light makeup does the trick.

  221. I don’t get to go out on date nights very much anymore, but when I do I like to spend a little bit longer on make-up and clothes.

  223. To get ready for date night, I usually just take more time on my hair (add a few more curls to fluff it up) and spend a little time on my makeup. Maybe wear a deeper pigmented lip gloss.

  224. I would get dolled up if the boyfriend liked to get himself duded up. Alas, he does not, so there’s no point in my doing it most of the time. But it’s fun when it happens!

  229. I haven’t had a date night in awhile we are long over due, but I usually find a cute dress and straighten out all the frizz from my hair and pray it doesn’t rain.

    1. Oh man, that’d be a sight doing dishes and laundry in heels. I can hardly walk in them when I wear them out somewhere nice, let alone trying to wear heels chasing kids! That’s too funny!

  238. I can never get my hair to cooperate when I need it to! Although that doesn’t stop me from getting all dolled up and attempting to do my hair and makeup for date night 馃檪

  240. Date night the eye make up gets more dramatic & I love to put on fake nails!
    thank you

  242. I’m still trying to get into my groove of date night hairstyles. I had my hair cut short and love it, but am still getting used to it.

  247. I just take a shower and wash my hair before a date. I don’t typically go to extremes.

  249. I don鈥檛 do anything special for date night, just put on some make-up and casual clothes.

  253. I like to have my hair and makeup done nicely and I like to dress nicely too.

  258. lol my hair is naturally wavey– it get itself more or less ready for date night– I wedge it for the summer and its just poofy and bouncy because of the cute– I don’t watch the Bachelorette’s any long– to much to do outside, and kids

  260. I don’t do much with my hair but try to step it up a little on the rare occasions that we get to go out. So i might take the extra time to blow dry and straighten it. I have serious hair envy of Andi!

  261. I get ready by showering, straightening my hair,applying some make up and finding some clothes I feel confident in.

  262. I usually don’t have time to do anything special to get ready for date night (too busy making sure everything for the kids are taken care of before we head out, so I shower.. get dressed and do my hair & make up quickly lol). I’d love to be able to go get a mani/pedi before date night though.
