On mornings when you don’t have a lot of time to focus on a hairstyle, it can be pretty tempting to pull it all back into a ponytail or bun. Thankfully, there are some great hairstyles that take just about the same amount of effort but they look so much better! This half up twist under hairstyle is definitely one of those hairstyles.

How to Style Curly Hair
It isn’t a great idea to work with curly hair while it is dry. Wetting down the hair first will prevent a lot of frizz that can be avoided otherwise. Before you begin to style, be sure to spray it down with water. We also like to spray it with spray conditioner to give it extra moisture.
Take a section of hair on the top of head and put it in an elastic.
Take a small section of hair next to the top section and put it in an elastic. Do the same on the other side of the top ponytail section as well.
Split each section down the middle and flip the ponytail back through them, coming from the top.
Hold the elastic on each section and gently pull at the twists that were created to make them more voluminous. Don’t be afraid to really mess them up a bit. It adds more character to the overall look!
Grab all three ponytail sections and gather them together in the middle. Tie them together with an elastic.
Formal Curly Hairstyle Idea
The hairstyle can be complete at this point but we really like to dress it up a little more with a clip or barrette to hide the elastics. It just adds a little something extra!
We love that this hairstyle looks special, without spending a lot of extra time on it. We get compliments on my girls’ hair every time we do this style!
