Partial Updos & Hair Up Styles You can Create at Home

Whilst partial updos or 'hair up" styles are usually associated with parties and formal events, the pictures below show that the style is equally at home for every day occasions.

As you can see, these photos were taken locally - but show the kind of style that can easily be created. Whether you're going for a curly half up half down look, or a pin-straight one, these pictures should help you get off on the right foot.

Prom Half Up Styles

The prom half up hair style is ideal for events such as prom and other formal evening events.

Whilst this partial updo is one of the classic hair styles for prom, the half up-do is becoming increasingly popular.
