Turn up the glamour this party season with this elegant half-up hairstyle from Cat Nicholson at Charlie Miller, Edinburgh Ocean Terminal. This gorgeous style is full of strong styling techniques- height at the crown, sleekness at the sides and volume through the mid-lengths and ends. Clever structuring adds a dramatic element so you’ll be sure to make a statement. Perfect for both long hair and short hair, Cat says “this style is incredibly adaptable. You can just slick back the sides if your hair is short, or secure your hair into a ponytail or bun if you have long hair”. Follow her step-by-steps below, created in association with Your Hair magazine, to recreate this party hairstyle.
Step 1. Generously apply L’Oréal Professionnel tecni art pli all over the hair, then loosely tong.
Step 2. Split the hair into two sections. Keep the top section out of the way and tie the rest into a ponytail.
Step 3. Backcomb the top section to create fullness throughout the crown. Smooth the hair back gently using your hands, then pin it onto the top of the original ponytail.
Step 4. Puff texture dust onto the ponytail and backcomb to give a tousled look.
