Half Updos for Diamond Faces

Kim Kardashian's long half updo hairstyle is fierce for straight hair and will stay put through hours of dancing. Steal her style:1. Start by sectioning off hair into two parts: the top half of your head in a horseshoe shape and the bottom half, which you will leave alone for now.2. Apply an ample amount of strong hold gel or molding cream to your horseshoe shape and tease the hair, starting at the back of your head and working your way forwards until you reach the inch before your forehead.3. With fine tooth comb, brush that remaining inch over your teased section and start sculpting back, spraying with strong hold hairspray as you mold into shape.4. Slick back the sides of your hair and pin back underneath the ends of the teased section, hiding the bobby pins.5. Twist a couple large sections from the bottom half of your hair around the barrel of a curling iron. Spray with hairspray as needed. See More Kim Kardashian Hairstyles

Kim Kardashian's 'do is a great twist on the half updo style and works best on thick hair. What to do:1. If hair is straight, start by using a large-barreled curling iron and twisting 2-inch pieces around the barrel, holding for about 10 seconds each.2. Part your hair down the middle with a comb.3. Grab a 1-inch section closest to your scalp, along your part and start braiding away from your forehead, finishing after you pass your ear. Secure with a small hair elastic.4. Repeat Step 3 on the other side of your part. Then bring the two braids together and pin them into place at the back of your head. See More Kim Kardashian Hairstyles
