Hair 101: The Half-Up Half-Down

Chloe Moretz

I don't know about you, but I love a sweet half-up half-down hairstyle. Half-up half-down looks are so easy and keep your hair out of your face while still being able to let your locks loose. The look can be as sleek as you want or as casual and it doesn't even matter what type of hair you have. All you need to recreate the look is a comb and a ponytail holder.

1. It's best to start out with slightly dirty hair whether you're going for a sleek or loose half-up half-down look.
2. Take your comb and create a nice part separating the top and bottom portions of your hair. Make it as equal, or unequal, as you would like. 
3. For a sleek look brush the top half back and add a little serum so the hair will sleek before securing it with a ponytail holder. For a more casual look use your fingers to hand comb the top half into a loose ponytails.
4. To add to the look try using ponytail holders with details, cutesy bobby pins, curl a few pieces of hair, or even pull out your bangs to frame our face.

This look is so perfect to wear for Valentine's Day with special hair details or just as a casual everyday look.
