HOW TO; Ariana Grande Half up Half down Hairstyle
So, recently I have been really into Ariana Grande and how she dresses and does her hair, and I have noticed that there is one hairstyle that is VERY popular, so I asked on my instagram if you wanted a tutorial blog post and you said yes, so here it is.
Step 1: first you need to section off your hair into a high ponytail, now the amount of hair depends on the thickness of your hair. For me my hair is thick and long so I took more of it up into the ponytail. (leave your hair as natural a possible as this will help when it comes to curling it).
Step 2: once you've gathered the amount of hair you want, fasten this with a hair tie, again the type of hair tie depends on the thickness of your hair. (I have quite a thick hairband).
As you can see I have placed the ponytail, high up on my head and it helps keep the top neat as well as making the curls look longer and more precise.
Step 3: Now its time to curl your hair. I always start with the ponytail as I find its easier, but its up to you how you want to do it. So first you need to section out your hair into small (ish) parts, this will make the curls more defined.
As you can see, I am curling the hair round the wand nearer the smaller end, so the curls are tighter. Hold each section for around 45 seconds (don't do it too long or you'll burn and damage your hair).
Step 4: Once you have curled all the ponytail it should look something like this:
You now need to spray all over with a hairspray, getting quite close so the curls will hold throughout the day. As you can see I have used the 'VO5 strong hold', but any hairspray will do.
Once you have finished it should look something like this:
Now you can adjust and redo any bits, as well as adding some ribbon or bows or even flowers. Or you can simply leave it like I did. The finishing product should look like below:
I really hoped you enjoyed this tutorial as I enjoyed making it so much. Leave some comments below on what you thought and anything you would like to see mepost.
