One of the hottest summer hairstyles, aside from braids, that the celebs have been loving, is the half up, half down look & everyone from Kim Kardashian to Rihanna has tried out the trend! Half up, half down hair is the perfect summer trend because not only is it super chic, it’s practical, as you can pull your hair out of your face during the hot summer months. The hairstyle has been around for ages, but seriously became popular in recent years, thanks to Ariana Grande. Aside from Ariana, tons of celebs have been trying out the hairstyle this season, but one star that has been loving it is, Kim Kardashian. Kim recently chopped her hair into a short bob & has been rocking the cute look, done by longtime hairstylist, Chris Appleton. Other celebs loving the trend are Rihanna, who just rocked the trend at the BET Awards on June 23, Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, Hailey Baldwin & so many others, which you can see when you click through the gallery!
