The image below is an adorable half up-half down style that almost anyone can pull off. Create two braids on the top of your head and make each end a bun. Secure the buns with elastic and, of course, bobby pins. This look is great for a lazy beach day or just hanging around the beach with friends. This simple look is great for those who want an easy but cute braided look that is not too tight or too loose. It is also a great option for those who don’t want to commit to a full braided head and keep some length.
So, like the braid above, this is a half-up half-down hairdo that gives off a carefree feel. To achieve a look similar to this, follow these easy steps:
1. Tease your hair if you are looking for a little extra bump or volume on the top of the head; otherwise, start by creating three small to medium-sized braids on each side of your head.
2. Gather the three braids on each side and bring them together. You can secure it with an elastic.
3. Finally, you will create a loose bun with the braids’ ends and secure it with bobbypins.
Try this look for the summer when you are looking to hang out. Remember, loose braids or braids secured with bobby pins alone may run the risk of falling out, especially in water. Apply hairspray and secure with what you feel is needed beyond bobby pins or a simple elastic.
This half-up half-down style has a unique spin to it while giving you volume. Begin with three to four braids on the top of your head. Try french braids or even cornrows if you prefer that look better. Then you will secure each of the braids with an elastic. Bring the three braids together with another band. Brush out the ends and teach the high pony you created. Take one of the ends and wrap it around the base of the pony to cover the elastic. If you want to add a little more personality to your look, you can use a curler and curl the ends and run a comb through it to have loose curls throughout your look.
For a final half-up and half-down look, you can try two braids of your choosing and gather them into a half knot on the top of your head. The look is simple and easy to create, as you can do any type of braids on the top, especially if you want a more full look. Half knots are quite common when it comes to having one’s hair up these days. So combining adorable summer and spring braids with a half knot makes perfect sense. You can dress up this look with embellishments; of course, add flowers, diamonds, or other cute hairpins and accessories to create a look that is unique to you.
