The Doable Updo: A Half-Up Braid

First, section off the top third portion of your hair (leaving out some hair on the sides) and secure it into a ponytail. Then, spritz all over with amika Un.Done Volume and Matte Texture Spray targeting the roots for volume and the lengths for texture. Use your fingers to massage it in for a lived-in, tousled look. Create two classic side braids, securing with elastics, and gently loosen the braids to make the style feel breezy and fuss-free. Join the braids together with your ponytail and top it off with a barrette for a little flair (and to mask your hair tie). Finally, if you want to add extra oomph, use a curling iron to create waves to the bottom of your hair and give your style a blast of Fave4 Texture Takeover Oomph Enhancing Hairspray to secure your look all day.
