You're bored with your hair, feel the need for a quick update but don't quite know what to do. Sound familiar? Time to try the easiest hairstyle ever - the half up half down.

Whether your mane is long or short, or you prefer a messy bun, top knot, plaid or pony, there's a half up half down style for you. The bonus? They totally redefine chic, look super cool and take just a few minutes to pull together.

Half ups are also the perfect fall back for when you wake up with hair that looks like it has had a fight with your pillow. And ideal for those hectic mornings when you have no time to wash your three-day hair and only two minutes before you need to run.

We've hunted down the most stylish half ups to inspire you. Time to say goodbye to bad hair days and hello to gorgeous...
 

#1. Super High Top-Knot

A classy and stylish twist. Gather up the top layer of your hair, twist into a messy top knot and pin (AKA the 'hun' or half bun). Or try a double top knot to balance out big curls.

#2. Simple High Pony

The easiest of them all. For a little extra height and a super elegant finish, twist a strand of hair around the base of your pony. Gently loosen strands at the front to soften the look.
 

#3. Low Messy Bun

Another hun for those more casual days when you want to look done - but not quite done. Or choose to add some gorgeous statement earrings and sunnies to pull it all together.

#4. The Sleek Side Braid

Go a little boho with a thin braid or two on the side as a simple and stylish accent to your locks. Make a statement by weaving in some trinkets and charms.

#5. Accessory Attraction

A simple barrette, a classy elegant bow or dainty accesories woven into a braid can take your tresses from smart to stylish in one easy step. Versatile enough to take you from casual to chic.
 

#6. Combo Plait and Bun

This one will take a little more practice. Part your hair and weave one, two or three French braids from the centre, sides or back and pull them up into a stylish top knot.
