#25: Easy and Creative Half Up Knot

On hurried mornings, it’s hard to get out the door looking flawless. But if you’re in a time crunch, just pull the top quarter of your hair back into a messy knot. The coif radiates effortless style, but no one has to know how much time you actually put into your appearance that day.

#26: Straight Half Down Hairstyle

Straight strands can be a pain because they easily fall out of ponytails and for many, won’t hold a curl. So, dress up your locks with braids, a failsafe for any hair texture. Bring two fishtails together at the back of your head and pin them down for a modern style that stays in place all day.

#27: Ethereal Gray Tresses

Long hair is gorgeous, but how to keep it out of the way when you’re out and about? Down hairstyles are notorious for having a mind of their own, so why not try a partial updo. It’s a step up from a basic ponytail and can help keep those locks settled. Braids mixed with a loosened twist pinned across the back of the head will enhance the beauty of your lush locks.

#28: Voluminous Caramel Hairstyle

Pump up the volume of your hair with a perfectly teased, half up coif. Use a thin braid as a barrette holding a waterfall of chic layers to bring a unique finish to this hairstyle. Let your long, caramel-tinted locks flow, instead of pinning them up into an updo. This hairdo is way more noteworthy.

#29: Wavy Blonde Balayage

So simple yet stunning, these wavy tresses could take you anywhere from a festival to a semi formal event. The loose twists complement the effortless allure of the coif, while the blonde ends give it a natural sun-kissed finish.
