Today’s how-to hair tutorial is an easy half up half down hairstyle, perfect for wedding guests, bridesmaids, and of course the bride! This half up hairstyle is soft, romantic, and works beautifully on medium – long hair lengths, and even works on short hair.
I love adding hair extensions for weddings and special events, they give that extra fullness and length that elevates every hairstyle. You already know, Luxy Hair has been my go-to brand for over a decade, and today I’m wearing their 20” Dimensional Beige Blonde Halo Extensions. I always recommend them because they’re so versatile and easy to apply!

How To Step-By-Step Tutorial
Step 1: Apply Luxy Hair Extensions
1. Start by placing your Luxy Hair Halo Extensions around your head, about 2 inches back from your hairline.
2. Use the two clip wefts on each side for extra fullness around your face.
3. Let your hair down over the halo, and comb through to blend.
Step 2: How to Create the Half Up Half Down Hairstyle
1. Trace from your temples to the back of your head, and completely section it off.
2. Comb through the section for a smooth, clean look, and pull out any face-framing pieces.
3. Secure the section tightly with a hair elastic.
4. Pinch and pull gently at the hair around your crown to create volume and give it that effortless, soft feel.
5. Take a small hair elastic and attach two bobby pins, one on each end.
6. Clip your ponytail up and out of the way.
7. About an inch above your elastic, slide one bobby pin into the right side of your section.
8. Hold it in place with your thumb, pull the elastic across, and insert the second bobby pin inward from the left side.
9. Unclip your ponytail and flip it down, fanning it out to create soft, pretty volume.
10. Finish by adding a touch of oil to smooth flyaways and give your hair a polished look.
