A simple style beloved by celebrities such as Hailey Bieber, Dua Lipa, Bella Hadid and Ciara, half-up-half-down hair has been thoroughly revived for spring, with the low-maintenance, undone-but-done look emerging from the original “clean”aesthetic.

Simple and easy to accessorise, this braid is worn low at the nape of the neck and can be embellished with an oversized scrunchie or Y2K-inspired slide clips. Alternatively, separate the hair into individual braids, before bringing together with a hair band to create a multi-strand style.

Gently teased to create volume at the root or worn with natural lift, loose, healthy-looking hair is the ultimate effortless spring hair style. 

An evolution of the “clean-look” bun (also known as the Olaplex bun, thanks to its propensity to conceal a hair treatment) the slicked-back messy bun feels marginally more whimsical, like something Keira Knightley might have worn in 2004 – spiky and sweet.

A show-stealer, the undone topknot is gathered at the crown of the head, smoothed back on either side and then allowed to waterfall out, creating a voluminous, gravity-defying style that feels like a chic version of 80s glamour.
