There are many ways to style hair half up/half down. Take a look at a few of these examples and remember to make it your own!
VA-VA VOLUME
Bouffant styles were around long before Snooki reinvented the pouf. Amping up the top keeps the focus on your face. Or opt for a tousled, sexy bed-head effect like Angelina Jolie, which will give your mane more texture.
PARTY IN THE BACK
Spice up your style by displaying more than just a ponytail at your crown. For an unique knot effect, twist the top part into a small doughnut shape. Then pull remaining ends through. Or create a mini French twist by splitting the top half into left and right sections. Pull back to the crown and twirl ends together in a downward spiral. Secure with hidden bobby pins facing upward where the sections meet at crown.
FRONT FLAIR
Face-framing fringe works perfectly with the ’do. If you’re a pinup pro, try a retro-rolled style, or keep it modern and simply deep-part your bangs for a side-swept look like Carrie Underwood’s. An easy way to separate top and bottom? Create ringlets on the loose hair but keep pinned-back sections sleek and straight.
SWEET AND LOW
If you’re a fan of the low ponytail, this Grecian look is an easy compromise. Your hair will seem fuller and longer, and look effortlessly elegant. Take two small front sections from both sides of your part and loosely twist (or braid!) back behind or over your ears. Pin above the lower half of your hair at the nape of your neck.
