Dania Ramirez’s updo hairstyle looks great on her!

Half updos are great for prom because these hairstyles offer the chic updo touch matched with relaxing down dos for a perfect combination.

Half updos for prom are generally very easy to create as well because there is no complicated bun or chignon to create.

The long hair can be prepped much like a down do and simply pinned at the back for an elegant look. This is why these half updos have become very popular options for galas like the prom.

At times, a half updo will really take the cake over a regular updo if styled correctly. It is easier to create half-updos by allowing longer tresses to fall down over the hairstyle with longer hairstyles.

The falling tresses provide a compliment to the updo and create stylish hairstyle.
