The Tressed of Both Worlds: 7 Ways to Rock the Half-Up Hair Trend This Summer

Polished and feminine, half up styles combine the best of both (hair) worlds. You can enjoy the polished "done" vibe of an updo and the sexy look of hair that is down at the same time.

And because they straddle the line between casual and formal, they work perfectly for summer events, which tend to me more laid back. Click through the slideshow for 7 gorgeous ways to rock the trend.
