Step 1: Prep Your Hair Before we dive into the styling, it's essential to prep your hair. Start by washing and conditioning your hair to ensure it's clean and smooth. If you have curly or wavy hair, consider blow-drying it straight for easier styling. Once your hair is dry, brush it out to remove any tangles.
Step 2: Part Your Hair Next, part your hair down the middle using a rat-tail comb. This will help ensure that both sides of your Crisscross Heart are even. Clip one side of your hair out of the way so you can focus on working on one section at a time.
Step 3: Create the Base Sections Starting on one side of your head, take a small section of hair near your hairline and part it into two equal strands. These will be the first pieces you'll use to create the crisscross pattern. Repeat this step on the other side.
Step 4: Start the Crisscross Take the front strand from the left side and cross it over to the right, then take the front strand from the right side and cross it over to the left. You should now have the beginnings of a crisscross pattern. Secure each crossover with a small clear elastic to hold them in place.
Step 5: Add More Hair Now, add a small section of hair from the left side to the existing strand on the right, and then add a small section of hair from the right side to the existing strand on the left. Continue this crisscross pattern, adding small sections of hair as you go to create a fuller and more intricate heart shape. Secure each crossover with clear elastics to keep the pattern tight and neat.
Step 6: Shape the Heart As you continue adding hair and creating the crisscross pattern, start to shape the sections into a heart. The key is to make sure the top of the heart is wider and gradually tapers down to a point at the bottom. Use your fingers to gently mold the sections into the desired heart shape as you go along.

Step 7: Secure the Heart Once you’ve completed the crisscross pattern and achieved the heart shape, secure the ends of the crisscross sections at the bottom of the heart with a small clear elastic. You can also use bobby pins to ensure everything stays in place and looks neat.
Step 8: Finish and Style To finish off the look, gently pull on the edges of the heart to make it appear fuller and more defined. You can also use a bit of hairspray to set the style and keep any flyaways in check. For an extra touch of glam, consider adding some cute hair accessories like clips or pins around the heart.
Step 9: Final Touches Lastly, make sure the rest of your hair is styled to perfection. You can leave it down for a natural look, curl it for some added volume and texture, or even pull it into a low ponytail or bun to keep the focus on the Crisscross Heart.
