DIY Beauty - Hairstyle: Half Up / Half Down

Step 1.) Smooth hair with straightening iron such as Farouk CHI 1 Inch Ceramic Flat Hairstyling Iron by Chi, which allows you to adjust the temp. to your individual needs. Apply a smoothing gloss for shine.

Step 2.) Make a side parting about 2 inches back. Take hair from ear to ear, 2 inches back, and move out of the way. Secure with a barrette clip.

Step 3.) Next, take the top, back section of hair. Tease or use large hot rollers for slight volume. Jet Set Purple Rollers 2-1/8" are perfect for quick easy styling with volume. Simply put into dry hair, hit with a blow-dryer, allow to cool and remove! No pins necessary and hair is finished with volume in minutes! I love these things!

Smooth then fasten in the back with barrette or pins.

Step 4.) Take the front section you put to the side. Separate that into 2 sections, divided by the parting. Take the right part of the section and apply a small amount of a smoothing product. Pull to the low, back of the head, tuck under barrette and fasten with bobby pins. Use comb to get rid of any small bumps that might have occurred. Now do the same to other section. Spray with hairspray.
