Greek Goddess Hairstyles – Pinned Half Updos

If you don't feel comfortable with your hair all the way up in a chignon or a stiff updo hairstyles, a Greek Goddess inspired half up/half down hairstyle might be perfect for you for prom or other formal occasions.

Many celebrities opt for this simple, but still glamorous and flattering hairstyle for red carpet events like Angelina Jolie, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Audrina Patridge and many more.

Here are 3 easy steps to follow to achieve a pretty half updo hairstyle:

Step 1

For fine hair, prep it with a volume-boosting spray, while for thicker, coarser hair, use a taming product before blow-drying.
Divide hair by pinning the top section up; take a two-inch section of loose hair and wrap around a medium barrel curling iron.
Repeat until all the loose hair is curled.
Unpin the rest of the hair and repeat the curling process, but create bigger, looser waves by taking larger sections of hair and not curling right up to the roots.
