Jun 19 2019

It's easy to see why the half-up topknot has become a go-to Summer hairstyle: not only does it take a simple, short process to create, but it also proves practical — keeping your hair out of your face through most summertime activities.

The look can take different forms, from undone and messy to structured and architectural. It's friendly for all hair textures and the addition of hair accessories. If you are looking for ways to switch up your half-up hairstyle and have no idea where to begin, check out our favourite ideas ahead.

Messy Half-Up Topknot

The messy half-up topknot has taken over Parisian streets and is your easiest take on the hairstyle. Celebrity hairstylist and T3 brand ambassador Laura Polko recently showed POPSUGAR how easily it can be achieved with just a curling wand and an elastic.

Half-Up Topknot With Braids

Working in braids — like these single twists that flow from the actual knot or the strategically placed braids shown ahead — is a simple way to upgrade the Summer hairstyle.
