Half Up Half Down Beehive Style


Added: 25 Nov 2010
Create a stylish updo with this half up half down beehive hairstyle. The idea is to create volume, lift, and body on the top of your head by adding some height at the crown. This style suits most face shapes and hair textures, so this look will work for you whether you have straight or naturally curly hair.

Our dazzling model highlights a half-up, half-down beehive hairstyle with matte lips and thick eyeliner. The shimmery golden top compliments her beehive hairstyle well. She opts for the golden blonde color to compliment her skin tone. For this hair styling, the top of this half up half down hairstyle is teased at the roots and pinned to the head in a beehive style to achieve maximum height and lift, which makes it best suited for those with round face shapes. The length is left out to fall over the shoulders to soften the overall style. This hairstyle will greatly add to your casual look or formal events. This half-up and down hairstyle suits women with round, oval, and heart-shaped faces. Achieving this look requires a blow dryer and curling iron to create soft waves around your face. Use thick hair for this style to easily hold these waves in place. You can wear it in summer as well as winter days because it is both comfortable and stylish at the same time!

This half up half down beehive hairstyle is perfect for long, thick hair. You will need regular trims every 4-6 weeks to prevent split ends, and this style will last around six months or so before you need to change it up. Spray the roots with your hairspray for more volume and hold.

step 1

Apply styling mousse to damp hair, using your palm as a measuring guide, and evenly distribute it along the hair shaft. Styling mousse will add hold and can help achieve better results.


step 2

A paddle brush is used for detangling the hair and can be used to smooth out straight hair when blow-drying or styling. It is a must have for every household.


step 3

Working in sections starting from the back, place the paddle brush close to the roots and drag it through the strands slowly, taking care not to overheat your hair. Once dry, continue to a new section, completing the back, the sides and then the top section last of all.


step 4

Pick up a small selection of hair from your mid section no bigger than your tail comb. Place your comb at the roots and then comb up and down until the hair is standing up by itself. Continue to the crown and finish at the sides. Repeat this step if you require more volume.


step 5

To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.


step 6

Once your hairstyle is complete, hold your hair into place and then pin your hair into your desired direction.


step 7

Apply a very small amount of smoothing shine to the palms of your hands and then run it through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Be careful not to add any to the roots or a large amount to any section of the hair as smoothing shine can be very heavy on the hair, weighing it down and making it appear oily.


step 8

Lacquer is great for strong hold. A small amount is all that is required to finish and should be applied from an arms length distance to the entire style.
