Wedding Hairstyles Half Up

A report by Slough Hairdressers

Among the selection of wedding hairstyles, half up suggests a hairdo where the hair is partially up and the other half is set in a down style. The word half is not to be taken literally as it is meant to indicate a hairstyle where some of the hair is set up and the remaining is let down usually in the front or falling from the sides. Many hairstylists feel that wedding hairstyles half up give the perfect balance of being somewhat informal and at the same time having a formal feel which is perfectly suited for a wedding. This hairdo lends elegance and offers many alternative styling options.

A bride has a lot of things to plan just right for her wedding day and apart from the gown, the hairstyle has to be perfect, to make her look the best. While choosing the type of half up hairstyle the headpiece also has to be accommodated comfortably. There are various styles in half up wedding hairdos which will get you the look you want for your special day. With the right styling you can give accent to whether you want to look formal or have a more casual look, and at the same time portray sophistication and an elegant charm. The availability of the many options makes this hairdo much more popular than a simple up or down styling.

In wedding hairstyles, half up suits almost all hair types and even when the hair is thin you can include a hair piece or hair extension to complement the styling. Naturally curly or wavy hair can hold loose sections falling from the sides to give you a more feminine look. Your face will also appear softer. These strands on the side give a romantic air that elegantly frames your face.

It’s better to plan the half up hairstyle well in advance and do a trial run or rehearsal with your stylist. Your hairstylist should be experienced in wedding styles as these hairdos can be a disaster if not done well. The stylist should have an eye for symmetry and make the whole hairdo look neat, as there is a good chance that it can become quite asymmetrical and look a bit messy. A really bad half up hairdo will look like a comb-over haphazardly parted into chunky pieces the don’t have much appeal.

Apart from being one of the more famous wedding hair styles, half up is also quite popular for other formal occasions. Watch the television any given day and you’ll see them quite often during the Oscars and other presentation ceremonies. The appeal for this hairdo is widespread among women of all age groups and therefore will suit a bride of any age. One of the famous types of the half up hairstyle is the “faux bob”, which was made popular by actress Eva Longoria. Here the hair is held up and tied behind then also made to fall loosely from the sides towards the front and curls near the chin level.
