In this tutorial, I'm going to Show You how to take the half up half down style to the next level by adding volume and texture. This elevated version of the hairstyle will make it more exciting and beautiful, giving you a look that stands out from the crowd.

To achieve this elevated half up half down style, you'll need a few tools and products. I recommend using a high-quality mannequin from Hair Art, such as the one I'm using in this tutorial. Additionally, you'll need a Detangle brush, a rat tail comb, a curling iron, elastics, bobby pins, and hairspray. Some recommended products include the Kenra Luxe Shine Oil for added shine, the Paul Mitchell Hot Off The Press Heat Protectant to protect your hair from heat damage, and the Osis Volume Up Hairspray for volume and hold.

Before getting started, it's important to prepare the hair properly. You can use a shine oil like the Kenra Luxe Shine Oil to tame any frizz and add shine to the ends of the hair. Then, use a detangle brush to comb back some of the hair and Create a bump for added volume. Next, create a diagonal zigzag section on the top of the head using a rat tail comb. Part all the hair forward on both sides, following the crown area's Shape.

Now it's time to curl the hair. Take small sections of the hair and curl them using a curling iron. Leave about an inch of the ends straight to create a more textured look. After curling each section, spray a bit of the Osis Volume Up Hairspray to hold the curls and provide shine. Comb through the hair to ensure it's smooth and use the curling iron to seal the ends. Alternate the direction of the curls as you work your way up the head to create a natural look.

Once you've finished curling the bottom section, Gather the hair and secure it with a clip to maintain the curls. Let down the top section and tease it at the roots using a comb to add volume. If desired, you can use a texturizing powder like the Schwarzkopf Soft Dust to enhance the volume and texture further. Be sure to tease each section and spray it with hairspray for added hold.

With the crown area teased and volumized, gather the hair into a ponytail and secure it with an elastic. Split the ponytail in half using a comb and twist each section for added texture. Pull the sections tightly to create volume and secure them with bobby pins. Take out the clip from the bottom section and curl the hair, alternating the direction of the curls. Spray each section with hairspray for hold and shine.

Finally, smooth out any frizz and comb through the curls to create a Cohesive look. Pinch and pull out sections of hair to add even more volume and texture. Take Care to not make the hairstyle too frizzy and keep everything clean and smooth. Secure any loose sections with bobby pins and use hairspray to set the final look.
