How to Create the Perfect Sleek Half-Up Look for Short Hair

How to Series
The sleek half-up hairstyle is an effortless yet refined look that suits both short and long hair. It’s ideal for days when you want to wear your hair down but need a quick fix for greasiness.

Our co-founder Maxime says, “This is my go-to when my hair’s starting to get greasy, but I still want to enjoy what’s left of my blow-dry or keep my hair down.” With just a bit of Silky Sculpt Hair Balm and the Sculpt Mini Boar Bristle Brush, you can recreate this easy, elegant style in no time.

Step 1: Smooth It Out
Start by applying a small amount of Silky Sculpt Hair Balm to the upper section of your hair, focusing on areas like the sides near your ears and along the top. This will help tame flyaways and create a smooth base.

 

Step 2: Brush and Shape
Take your Sculpt Mini Boar Bristle Brush and gently brush the product through your hair. As you brush, sweep the upper part of your hair backward for a sleek, polished look.

 

Step 3: Tiny Ponytail
Gather the upper section of your hair and tie it into a small ponytail at the back of your head. For a seamless, minimal finish, use a micro elastic.

 

Step 4: Secure Ponytail
Secure the ponytail tightly, ensuring it stays in place while keeping the look sleek and smooth without causing tension.

 

Step 5: Final Touch-Up
Use your brush one last time to smooth out any remaining flyaways and ensure everything is sleek and in place.

 

And that’s it! You’ve created a Sleek Half-Up Look that’s simple, stylish, and perfect for short hair.
