Things You'll Need:
- Barrette clips
- Claw clips in different sizes
-
Step 1
Begin any half up, half down hairstyle by pulling the hair from the sides and crown of the head.
-
Step 2
Create a smooth half up, half down look by gathering the hair into a low ponytail that lies flat against the head. Clip the barrette near the top of the ponytail and comb it smooth.
-
Step 3
Curl the sides of your hair for a half up, half down style that has more body and movement. Once the curls have set, gather the hair into a ponytail, twist it upwards and clip it in the middle of the twist. Arrange the curls around the top of your head and spray with hairspray.
-
Step 4
Pull the hair from the sides and the crown and create a ponytail in the center of your head. Twist the ponytail downward and then wrap it around in a bun shape. Leave a small amount of hair hanging down from the bun and secure it with a clip at the bottom.
-
Step 1
Gather the sides and crown of your hair into a ponytail in the center of your head. Twist the ponytail upward and secure with a handful of mini claw clips all the way up through the top of the ponytail. Arrange the hair that isn't clipped into a spiky style with gel or wax.
-
Step 2
Pull just the sides of your hair back towards the crown of your head. Using a large claw clip, secure the sides in the middle for a half up, half down ponytail style.
-
Step 3
Set all of your hair with rollers. After removing the rollers, pull the sides and crown of your hair back into the middle of your head. Make a loose style bun and secure it with small claw clips placed all around the bun. Gently pull a few strands of hair out of the bun for a fancy half up, half down hairstyle.
