I love wearing my half up half down when I don't want to wear my hair up but i still want to keep it off my face.

These girls look terrific with half up half down hairstyles. Not for me with short hair

Half up do's are very youthful and suites almost every hair colour.

Agree that Amy Shark has bought the top knot look back - the middle one even resembles Amy! I do love the last look - very feminine as is the first look - maybe it's the blonde hair.

Amy Shark has brought this look back. I love the look on my daughters and often style their hair this way, but I find it really hard to do on myself because I don't like uneven lines in my hair as I have super straight hair so precision is crucial.

Great tutorial, I've never thought that the half up and half down look suited me. But now my hair isn't so long I might give it another shot.

I often do a half-up half-down pony tail except I prefer it a bit messy and with lots of volume instead of the slick look (plus it suits my hair type better).
I also really like the first style here with the little top braid and the top bun.
