The ’80s was all about volume (which a half-updo can achieve the effect of, even without all the back-combing). This look is epitomised by Olivia Newton-John. Although we saw her platinum locks in all kinds of hairstyles during the ‘80s, one of the most iconic was her high half-updo. It’s a look that Dakota Johnson nodded to recently, proving it works just as well today.
To create volume, brush your hair from the bottom up, then gather the top section into a half-updo. The result feels very laid-back.
Messy curls, like Julia Roberts
