Once upon a time the ponytail was a simple, yet predictable hairstyle that could be worn either casually for a day on the town or formally for special gatherings and occasions. Hollywood and the runways season after season always have variations of the high ponytail, often worn slicked back or low. But a new trend for the ponytail is trending now and it’s called the half up hairdo!
This extra high ponytail is all about natural wave and curl, purposeful texture that screams personality with its volume and height. Bella Hadid is a big fan of this look, sharing her “half up” look, but so is Ariana Grande who is often seen sporting just about the longest half ‘do imaginable.
Vogue is credited with naming this new variation on the classic top knot, noting the evolution of Barbara Eden’s signature hairstyle from the classic tv series, “I Dream of Jeannie”. Now, with this modern version all about waves, rings and curls as opposed to stick straight sleekness, the likes of Kim Kardashian and Jessica Alba are using the style to demonstrate their individuality and personality.
