4| Jennifer Lopez Half Up

This is how Jen wore the half up hairdo, then we saw Ariana Grande flaunting it the same way and then soon it was Khloe Kardashian who also donned this hairstyle. Take the top section of your hair and tightly secure it at the top of your head. Flare the half up ponytail so it blends nicely with the rest of your locks. Wrap and secure a thin section of hair around the hair tie to conceal it.
