How To: Half-Up Half-Down Hairstyle | Twisted Pull-Through Braid

Hey guys welcome to my channel and the first video of my new series, hashtag hair, tutorial Tuesday, where I'll be posting a new hair tutorial every Tuesday. I'M really excited about this and I'll have more information at the end of this video, as well as on my blog, but today's hairstyle is this really pretty feminine half-up half-down twisted hairstyle? I got inspired off a picture that I saw on Pinterest and I wanted to try to recreate it. It'S actually a lot simpler than you might think. So, let's go ahead and get started For this tutorial. All you're going to need are about 4 to 5, clear elastics, depending on your hair's length and a quick tip. If you're going to practice this hairstyle before wearing it out, I suggest using larger elastics they're a lot less damaging on your hair, at least that's what I do start by throwing all of your hair behind your shoulders and then you'll want to grab the hair at The side of your head to create a half-up, half-down ponytail easiest way, is to just go to the back of your part and draw a line straight down to the top of your ear. Then. At this point, I like to take out small pieces to frame my face and cover my ears to give me that boho look and then with those two sections. You just want to twist them a couple of times away from your face nice and loosely and then to secure them at the back of your head with the hair elastic. So now that we've done that step, you want to create a Topsy tail, so just grab your ponytail and flip it up and through just to give this hairstyle more of a tighter twist and then to give this hairstyle that wow factor you want to pull apart. Twists and make them more voluminous anchor the ponytail with one hand and then use your index finger and thumb on your other to grab small sections of hair at the top of the twist and just gently pull them upwards. For this look, I wanted most of my volume to be in the center at the Topsy tail but feel free to play around with it. Now for the rest of the hairstyle. We want to create Topsy tail pull throughs grab about one-inch sections from the side of your ponytail and try to grab them from the top layer of hair, then bring those sections in front of that first ponytail and secure the hair elastic. I usually wrap mine around two times so that first ponytail is going through that new ponytail and that's what creates the pull through and now with our new ponytail. We want to create another Topsy tail so just flip it up and pull it through. Tighten it up. A little bit and then begin pancaking by pulling on small pieces and this time pulling them up and outwards almost like a fan to make them more of luminous and give it that effortless appearance don't be shy with this. I think the more voluminous the better to create our second pull through grab that first ponytail we created that's underneath and you want to divide that into two equal pieces and then I'm going to grab one inch sections from the sides of the ponytail to make it Thicker and the trick with this is the less perfect. The better then bring those two sections in front ever previous ponytail to create our second pull through and secure it with the hair elastic and then create a topsy-tail with that pull through and be sure to pancake. It to help fake that voluminous appearance repeat the pattern as many times as you like down your hair and then grab the ponytail. That is, behind your section, divide it into two and bring those pieces in front of our previous ponytail, secure with a hair elastic and create Topsy tail and then the best parts pancake the twist. So I do this for a total of four Topsy tails and three pull through so there you have you guys, that's how easy it is to achieve this. Really pretty half-up half-down twisted chunky hairstyle. I just love how girly this hairstyle is. Is so beachy it screams summer to me, I just think it'd be perfect for any outdoor events gatherings concerts showers, I love that makes a statement, but it's simple enough to do.
