Daywear half-up half-down hairstyles

Keep your long, trendy fringe out of your eyes at work by wearing the top half of your hair in a pretty, asymmetrical ponytail, a smooth little bun or a curly puff. Then braid your fringe to frame your forehead and finish on the same side of the bun.

Professional or pretty

Or just pin your fringe back from the forehead with hidden hairgrips and wear the top in a sleek, smoothed back style for a neat, professional image. And you can wear the top half in a curly style, with pretty tendrils softening the forehead and sides, and have the rest of your hair totally straight and glossy.

Go with the flow

I know we all want hair that’s the complete opposite of what we’ve been given by Nature, but it’s best to get a half-up half-down hairstyles style that works with your hair texture. Curly hair looks fabulous in half-up half-down hairstyles, as it has so much natural volume you don’t have to faff about with heated tools and expensive styling product!

Wiry or wavy hair can easily be given added curl or straightened, and as this hair type is usually quite thick, you won’t have to struggle to get volume into your half-up half-down hairstyles either.

Fatten up your braids

Straight, fine hair looks great in a glossy, smooth look or for attractive height, with a few large curls pinned around the crown, so they won’t drop out in damp weather. Braided ropes, buns and the latest diagonal braids are another trendy option for fine, straight hair.

And if your plaits look too thin, just plait in some pretty coloured cord or ribbon from a sewing shop, or a silk scarf or two and you’ll look fabulous!
