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 :)

@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. :)

[waterlily716]

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