How to Pin Up a Half Hairdo
There are times when you need a half-up hairstyle. Whether you need a simple hairstyle or a style for a special occasion, the half hairdo is flattering a flattering choice. If you have curly or wavy hair, the style is fairly easy to accomplish. With straight hair, you may want to curl your hair first. You can do it yourself or choose to have a friend or stylist help you.
You will need the following items to perform this task:
- Curlers, if you have straight hair or want more body for your hairdo.
- Comb
- Brush
- Hairpins
- Hairspray
- Decorative hair clasp accents are optional to dress up your style.
- Curl your hair first if this is your desired effect.
- Remove the curlers.
- Brush all of your hair removing tangles.
- Use your comb to part the top half of your hair and pull it forward leaving it hanging over your face.
- Gather a small middle section of that hair combing through it
- Gently tease this section.
- Spray that section and use your pins to curl it backwards, tucking it under creating a small hump. This will give your style more body.
- Pull back another small section combing through the hair to remove any tangles.
- Spray that section lightly to keep the hair in place.
- Pin the section over the hump you have created.
- Continue this process until all of your hair is pinned in place. When you have finished this you may take small sections of the hair hanging in the back and create loops for a dressed up style, covering any pins you can see. Another option is to add some decorative clips or soft hair accents to give your style a finishing touch.
