HALF UP, HALF DOWN HAIR - OUR NEW FAVORITE GO-TO STYLES FOR EVERY OCCASION
One of the most versatile styles, half up half down hair is perfect for just about every occasion, from work to date night, weekends to weddings. Depending on how it is styled, it can be sophisticated and sleek, or sultry and sweet. Not quite an updo or a ponytail, it lifts hair away from the face while the rest of the hair is free-flowing. Quick and easy to do, it’s a style that is ultra-flattering for all face shapes and works with most hair textures. Celeb stylist Bradley Leake gives us his step by step tutorial to create volume at the crown with cascading waves for a luxurious half up half down version of the look. Adding extensions gives the fullness and length needed to make an impact as shown on these celebs, showing a range of styling options that we are pinning for Spring:
