Hairstyle How-To: Half-up, Half-down

Freida Pinto at the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards

Play up your hair with one of my favorite styles: the sophisticated half-up, half-down. Pulling some of your front strands back will let you show off your luscious locks, while drawing attention to your bright or natural eyeshadow hues and oh-so-perfect pout.

Actress Freida Pinto looked glam with this hairstyle at the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards. The half-up, half-down style was also spotted on models at New York Fashion Week Spring 2012 for designers Monique Lhuillier, Tadashi Shoji and Ohne Titel. Though this look is straight off the red carpet and runway, you, too, can rock it like an A-lister.

Get the Look in Three Easy Steps:

1. Add some height to your roots with Regis DesignLine Root Boost (available at Regis Salons).

2. Pull your front strands to the back of your hair, and tie them with an elastic.

2. Spritz a little bit of Redken Quick Dry 18 Spray (available at Redken salons) to hold your ‘do in place.

You’ll be looking gorg in no time.
