Halfup Halfdown Styles For Long Hair

Half-up, half-down hairstyles are popular.


Long hair is always in style, especially when it is shiny and healthy. Hairstyles created with long hair go in and out of vogue, however. There a few half-up, half-down hairstyles that have become popular for weddings, proms and special occasions and are considered classic. You can certainly go to a professional salon and have a stylist create this look for you, but they are easily done at home with the right equipment and hair accessories.


Mini Twist


This style is popular for brides because a small bun or twist can be created on the upper half of the head, which will hold a headpiece or a veil. Divide the hair into an upper section and a lower section. The upper section should be gathered and twisted into a bun or twist. The hair can be secured first with a rubber band and then hairpins for added support. The lower section of the hair can be worn straight or curled with a curling iron to create long ringlets.


Ponytail


This look is popular for weddings, proms and other special events because adornments like jewelry, ribbons or flowers can be wrapped around the ponytail for an added festive touch. Divide the hair into two sections -- the upper half and the lower half. Gather the upper section and secure it with a rubber band to create a ponytail. The remaining hair will hang down and can be worn straight or curled.


Sixties Style


To achieve this retro look, divide the hair into two sections -- half down and half up. Brush the top section of the hair until it is smooth and wrap it around a hair insert, like the Bump-It or something similar. To achieve maximum results, it's best to tease the hair first. This will create a highly stylized dome on the upper half of the head. The rest of the hair can either be brushed straight or you can create long ringlet curls using a curling iron.
