With fresh hair from a Sunday wash, Monday hairstyling is a simple refresh and go. Still, if the top of my hair is not shaping up as much as I’d like, a half-up hairstyle is my go-to look.
I like to keep it quick in the morning, especially on a Monday! Here are a few ways I’ve styled my half-ups with hair accessories.
Monday Hairstyles
I love styling a simple half-up hairstyle with accessories.
Try using a claw clip, barrette, or just bobby pins!
My favorite accessories to use for this look are neutral colored claw clips, because they match everything. For the styling tips, check out this post on Mastering the Claw Clip Half-Up Hairstyle too!

If you commute to work, another great accessory to try is a volume barrette, as it’s more comfortable when leaning on a headrest. The slightly rounded shape of the barrette allows for move “volume” of hair, which is perfect for wavy and curly hair.


A Half-Up Spiral Bun Hairstyle is another great look with just a few bobby pins. It’ is polished, professional, and matches everything with the hidden bobby pins.

I am 60 years old and have hair just past my shoulders. I pull it up daily. What style of daily styles will make me look younger. I am very shy and in good physical shape. Please advise

Hello Cherie, A great haircut that flatters you will make all the difference. Then, experiment with different hairstyles that reflect your fashion style too. Enjoy!
