Curly Hairstyle: Three Half-Up Styles

[earlynovemberlove]

I love the look of half-ups, but my problem with doing them is that my hair is mostly curly on the top layer and the curls are just kind of stretched out on the bottom layers, so when I pull the pretty curly part back it looks kind of bad. Any advice for getting the bottom to curl better? Or should I do half-ups when it's wet so the bottom layer has a better chance to curl without being weighed down?

[waterlily716]

@earlynovemberlove Yes, definitely see how the bottom layer dries on its own. What you could also do is do the style dry, and then spritz in a little water and spray gel and scrunch up the curls. hth :)

@waterlily716 Thanks! Btw I followed you on tumblr and twitter... Hope that doesn't sound creepy lol

[lov3music22]

Love the hair styles!!! Quick question, what is that song called that was playing in the background?

[waterlily716]

@lov3music22 at the beginning? it's a piece by chopin - nocture in f sharp :)

[blondeindisquiseable]

Ur hair is bea-u-tiful!

[waterlily716]

@eMiLyIsMyNaMe99 My hair (currently) is an inch or two past bra strap length when curly and dry. When stretched I am getting rly close to waist. :)

[eMiLyIsMyNaMe99]

how long is your hair when its dry?

[RiseToOffend]

so pretty, im going to try this once my hair is longer :>

[waterlily716]

@RiseToOffend how short is your hair? most of these styles should work on shoulder length hair. :)

[corrinebarba]

your hair is gorgeous!!! i clicked because of the thumbnail!! it is really pretty!!

[divyaism007]

u make me love my curls, ty xD

[jezuzfrekify]

what shampoo do you use?

[waterlily716]

@jezuzfrekify i don't use shampoo very often. check my profile for a list of the products I use everyday.

[ImSoAmelia]

Your natural hair is so pretty! You look exactly like this girl i know but an older version

[miamitchell91]

when u do ur hair is it wet or dry?

[waterlily716]

@miamitchell91 it's dry in this video. you get nice volume if you do it dry, but you can do it either way.

[MultiTheused]

i like all of them! the things is my curly/wavy is cut up into short layer ( the damn stylist) so can i still do this hairstyle

[EatSleepSingg]

You either need to speak more clearly or get a better camera, because I can't understand you at all

[Maristiger15]

I literally just did this on my hair right after watching your video! I love it! Thank you so much!

[3211peace]

Gorgeous!!!!!

<3

[83susieqt]

I love your videos! I'm a "new" curly - I've straightened my hair for years, and now am trying out leaving my curls in! Question on these styles - when you're fixing your hair like this, should your hair be wet or dry? Or does it matter? Thanks!

[BELLAinMIAMI]

I LOVE YOUR HAIR! Soooooo beautiful!!

[ilysarbear]

I liked all three of the styles! I'm probably going to wear the third one most often (once my hair grows out).

quick question: Will my curls become a little tamer/weighted down if I grow my hair out? It's just at the top of my shoulders now and I still get what I call "triangle" shaped hair. Any suggestions, or will I just have to wait for it to grow?

[waterlily716]

@ilysarbear growing your hair out will definitely weight your hair down, but there is also stuff you can do now. how do you part your hair? side parts are usually better than middle parts. also a haircut with long layers will help--is your hair all one length? and lastly, it's important to use lots of moisture and heavy products when you style your hair if you want to weigh it down. hope that helps! i use to have triangle shaped hair when i first started taking care of my curls.

[segarmini55]

[mgoularte1]

Hi Sarah, Thanks for the great tutorial, I love your videos, what mascara are you using in this video, your eyelashes look amazing in your intro picture...keep the great vids coming! Thanks! =)

[ussrealize]

I will have to try the last one, never have but looks really easy!

[Dadacomero]

Your new new haircut is perfect !!! Especially on your face!

[toastedkittens]

It's so nice to see naturally curly hair tutorials without straighteners and curling irons. Keep up the good work, you have beautiful hair!

Have you ever tried any Shea Moisture products?

[waterlily716]

@toastedkittens yeah i just got a conditioner and shampoo by them. i will be reviewing soon. :)

[Vjf5]

Your new haircut looks great!

[IncenseNPeppermints]

Our hair is about the same length. :) My heat damage is still growing out but I'm getting there though. It's been 4 or 5 months now. Cute tutorial!

[mldavis79]

Just like everyone else said, your hair looks awesome in this video!!! This is the look I strive for daily and always seem to miss, haha.

BTW, do you have a tattoo on your right wrist or was that just one of your hair ties?

[waterlily716]

@mldavis79 lol it was a temporary tatoo. if i get a tatoo it will be someplace where no one can see it. :)

[stuffstuffstuffyay]

thanks! very cute.

[waterlily716]

@ColombianaXO7 i have no idea honestly. the most important thing is to find an experienced hairstyle. it sounds like your hair would like longer layers rather than shorter ones though.

[yahaira8a]

Love your hair and love ur videos! :)

[curlyhairlove]

These hairstyles are really cute. =)

[tugtug9]

how do u get your hair so soft? I tried scrunching out the crunch, but it doesnt work :(

[waterlily716]

@tugtug9 it sounds like you need to use lighter products. try using a light gel or a curl creme.

[happysavy]

what products did you use?! your hair looks GORGEOUS today!

p.s. can u do a video on how to prevent frizz? ur hair never seems frizzy and i need help during this rainy season

[waterlily716]

@happysavy suave naturals CO wash

GVP matrix biolage conditioning balm rinse out CO

[biracialcurls]

I like your belt. super cute.

[Kerianna]

I have been using these same styles as well =)

Though for the bun one, I sometimes use Goody's spiral pins (two of them) to make the process easier and the buns to stay up better.

[MitchieMouse77]

You hair looks as beautiful as always! An advice never dye it! lmao I dyed it a shade lighter about 4 months ago. Never again! I just feel like there not as loopy. Well that is what I believe since I dont use hair product. I learned my lesson though. Now im working at it. Im glad there someone out their making videos for us curly hair girls! thankyou(:
