There are a few off-duty hairstyles we’ve seen rise into the mainstream recently. First, there was the slicked-back bun – an easy way to double up a hair treatment with the trending “clean” aesthetic. Then, claw clips and banana clips entered the fray, a throwback to the 90s and the low-maintenance, on-the-go clipped-up styles we so loved.

Now, baby braids, spiky buns and voluminous blow drys are back, worn by celebrities, influencers and the majority of people I see on my “hot girl” lunch break walks.

One popular style – half-up half-down hair – has also been trickling back into the rotation, favoured by women of the moment Hailey Bieber, Jennifer Lopez, Sydney Sweeney, Rihanna and HoYeon Jung.

Simple and elegant, it’s a school-esque style that’s really rather cute. Here’s some celeb inspiration for how to wear half-up half-down hair on straight, curly and braided hair.
