In this video, I’ll show you how to create one of the most popular and requested hairstyles — the Half Up Half Down look with sleek front sections and soft Hollywood waves at the back.

This style is perfect for long hair and combines elegance with practicality. The hair is smoothly brushed away from the face — a trend that is very актуально right now — while the back is styled into beautiful, structured waves.

💡 Why this hairstyle works:

Saves time compared to full curling

Easier sectioning and control

Long-lasting result thanks to wave technique

Perfect for weddings, events, and everyday glam

✨ Key techniques I use:

Curling iron: 32 mm (you can also use 25 mm or 28 mm for better hold)

Curling direction: towards the center for a balanced, symmetrical wave

Alternating technique: over the strand on one side, under on the other

Working with spray wax to define each strand

Fixing every curl with strong hold hairspray

💎 Important tips:

Always start with heat protection (preferably with light hold if hair doesn’t hold curls well)

For extra durability in humid conditions, use liquid hairspray (like Schwarzkopf Pump Spray)

If the crown area lacks volume or density, use crimping at the roots for a cleaner, fuller result

This hairstyle is not only beautiful but also very wearable and reliable — especially for long hair.
