If you think a half ponytail is the only way to wear a half updo, then it’s time we introduce you to a new half up hairstyle: the Celtic knot half updo.

7 Steps to Create a Celtic Knot Half Updo
Prep your hair
Dealing with hairfall? Don’t let it ruin your look. Wash your hair with DOVE Hairfall Rescue Shampoo and DOVE Hairfall Rescue Conditioner to help minimize hairfall. These products also nourish your hair strands for stronger and healthier hair.
Spray time!
Take one section of hair from the left and right side of your forehead near your temples. Spritz TONI&GUY Body Amplify Creation Hairspray on these sections to give them grip and make the hairstyle last longer.
Create loops
Hold the left section of your hair and bend it to create a loop. Then, wrap the right section of your hair around this loop.
Put your hair in the loops
Insert sections of your hair into the loops created. Don’t worry if your hairstyle appears messy at first. The important thing to do is to create loops and put your hair into these.
Pull the ends
When you’re done putting your hair inside the loops, pull the ends of your left and right sections of hair to create a Celtic knot.
Pin it
Keep your Celtic knot in place by securing it with bobby pins. Make sure that the color of your pins is the same as the color of your hair to keep the focus on the Celtic knot.
You're done!
You’ve just made a seemingly ordinary hairstyle into a more exciting one. With a Celtic knot half updo, your hair can look a little more styled than usual even if you’re just going out for coffee. This can even be a party hairstyle when paired with the right accessories and glam evening outfit.
