Straight hair looks sleek and sophisticated when left down, but it can be challenging to style it in updos as it does not have the same texture and grit as wavy or curly hair. A welcome alternative, and one that is easy to create, is the half up half down hairstyle, which shows off your hair texture while also pulling the hair away from your face. It can be made in several ways and can feel pretty and laidback, or it can be done to look stylish and sophisticated. It is a hairstyle that compliments all face shapes and will draw attention to your features.
