half updo

Semi-elevated hair arrangement

A half updo is a hairstyle where the top portion of hair is pulled back and secured—pinned, clipped, or tied—while the bottom layers hang loose.

It splits the difference between wearing hair up and wearing it down: She wore a half updo with soft curls falling past her shoulders.

Common for weddings and formal events, but casual versions work for everyday wear.
