#TeamHairFlipBye

 [Ariana Grande featured in MAY 2014 ELLE MAGAZINE]

As many of you may have seen, a lot of girls have been trying the half up, half down hair-do. Many people may even agree that it's simply just a hair don't, but let us discuss this debate.

Many big name celebrities such as Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lopez and even Lauren Conrad have been spotted rocking this look. However, I do have to give props to Ariana for starting this craze. She got a lot of criticism about the way she portrays herself, young and bubbly. But that's her persona, and her stylist does an amazing job with her. In conclusion, Ariana can sure rock that hair and many girls must thank her for allowing us to relive old times. 

Here's where I draw the line however, not everyone can pull this look off. You have to be young and courageous to flaunt this weave. To all my J-Lo fans out there (I apologize), but she cannot be rocking a hair- do like that. Yeah, Jenny from the block will always look amazing in our eyes, but think of your mom wearing this do; it's just not right. 

This hairstyle is made for girls who have super thick voluminous hair, not made for thin hair. Why? Try to imagine a rat's tail (shall I go on?). Do not get discouraged my fair ladies, there are of course a lot of tips and tricks to help that situation, but if you aren't willing to put in the work, try the half knot instead! Girls with a thick mane definitely have the advantage with this one. You can go straight for a sexy seductive look, or you can go wavy and curly for a more flirtatious fun look! Either way, you are definitely sure to turn some heads.

Ultimately, I feel like this is any other trend, you can either pull it off or you simply just have to stay away from it.

I personally have not tried this look and in all honestly I don't think it's my style. But... since I have been trying to think outside the box, I might have to give it a try. I'll be sure to update you all as soon as I try it. In the meanwhile, you give it a try! Try to see what style fits you best and twirl that beautiful half pony of yours.
