Wavy half-up twist

The feeling

A closer look

This simple arrangement uses a small top section and leaves most of the length free. It suits days when you want a little structure without restyling all your waves. Place the fastening where it feels comfortable and avoid a tight pull at the temples.

Make it work for you

Styling notes

Separate a small section above each ear without disturbing the lower waves.
Twist the sections gently towards the back and secure them with a clip or pins.
Ease out a little crown volume and check the clip is not pressing against your scalp.

Everyday upkeep

Remove pins carefully to avoid catching or breaking strands.
Change the section size or placement if the style pulls at your hairline.
