When it comes to styling, special events like weddings and parties challenge us. Even if you go to the hairdresser, chances are that the haircut will not last long or that the result will not put you at ease.
One of the possible reasons is that you are not used to seeing yourself with your hair very tied up or pulled back, or that opting for something loose, such as waves or curls, will straighten it in a short time. Do you feel identified? So let’s talk about a hairstyle that turns out to be a solution as long as it’s done with a good technique and here I will show you how to achieve it.
The half collected, they are so called because they are hairstyles that help us keep the hair, half tight at the top and the rest loose. It is very useful for people who are not used to wearing pigtails or bows, and feel more comfortable and beautiful, with their long or short hair, without picking it up.
Do you like the idea of wearing a semi-updo? But how do you make it a long-lasting hairstyle for a party? The key is in the preparation of the hair and the structure to create this hairstyle, it’s not as easy as putting in a few bobby pins and curls with a flat iron, but it’s not complicated either. I’ll teach you the process so you can put it into practice at your next special event.
This hairstyle can be done in medium length hair as well as long hair.. So it’s a versatile idea for many styles, it can include braids or be simpler, but it usually looks best with waves as the base of the hairstyle.
To start, we’ll use pliers to create waves through the hair. If you want the semi-updo to last longer and last longer at the party, prep your hair first with a product that provides texture and body, such as a curl mousse, salt, or sugar texturizer. This will help fine or straight hair to wear waves for longer and with more volume.
Divide your hair into horizontal sections and create waves from near the nape to the top of your head, in ascending order. It is ideal that you take strands of the same size in each section so that the hairdo has a more polished finish.
Once all the waves are done, you can comb them together and apply a little shine hairspray or moisturizing serum to the ends. To fix the hairstyle, you will need some hairpins and a small-toothed comb. Use the comb to part a section of hair in a circle at the crown of the head, which is the top base of the semi-updo, and secure it with a few bobby pins at the back of the head. If you have a lot of hair, you can use several crossed hairpins to better fix the hairstyle.
At this point in the process you have the waves ready and the crown attached. To finish the semi-updo, take a lock of hair from one side of your face and roll it up just like the previous waves, this coiled strand will have a lot of texture and if you pinch it a bit you can make more voluminous.
Take the textured strand to your liking to the back of the head and secure it with a bobby pin where the others were on the crown. Repeat the same steps with the other side of your hair and you have the complete hairstyle.
You can cross back just two strands, or do it with several, the more strands you include in the hairstyle, the more detail and texture it will have. You can also add braids and the result will be beautiful. Practice it and be creative with your hair!
