3 Gorgeous, Half-up, Half-Down Wedding Hairstyles for Long Hair (2024)

Hi, guys. For today’s tutorial, I wanted to do some wedding hairstyles for long hair. I want to show you some beginner-friendly and really easy half-up, half-down hairstyles. These hairstyles can be great for weddings, but they can also be great for just everyday hairstyles or special occasions, and you can try them on yourself or on family members and friends! I’m starting this tutorial with already prepped hair. So, I curled it with a 1-inch curling iron and then went in with dry shampoo and a texture spray. Prep your hair however you want, and let’s get started!
