Of all the hair trends that are totally *in* right now, gorgeous half-up, half-down hairstyles might be our favorite. They look just as polished as a full updo or ponytail — plus, they're totally effortless, and they are perfect for a lazy hair day. Did we mention they're also versatile for any hair length or texture (yes, even for you short-haired and curly-haired gals!).
From the hottest stars like Taylor Swift to royals such as Meghan Markle, celebs are rocking this cute 'do to red carpet events and other outings — and take note of their gorgeous locks for your next great hair inspo. Whether you go for a classic sleek style like Jodie Comer's look at the Emmys or something trendy and bold like Ciara's super long-haired style, these 15 half updos are gorgeous, simple, and easy to achieve with just a few hair ties or pins.

For the recent Knives Out European premiere, Katherine Langford swept her long hair back into a half updo that allowed her makeup — including that gorgeous coral lipstick — pop. What really completed her look, though, is the slightly-teased crown and the tousled ends of her locks.

The Hun
To achieve the oh-so-trendy half bun (also known as "the hun"), take the top half of your hair and put it into a bun, leaving the rest to flow over your shoulders. This Is Us star Susan Kelechi Watson showed us exactly how to do it at the Critics' Choice Awards in January.
