Ooh beautiful!
The only half up picture I have already taken is this one. It was just messily put back. I was showing off a new toy at the time. I like the way the texture looks here.
The half-up, as favoured by Elves, Vikings and various other warriors and fantasy characters. I don't believe I've seen a thread wholly devoted to them before so if there is one please excuse me.
I never really wore half-ups until quite recently but started doing them as a way to keep my hair out of my face but still enjoy the length and I've decided they rather suit me so now I want more half-up ideas and pictures if you have them!
I'll start off with this one I did yesterday, just a simple rope-braided one on top of brushed out braid waves
I find the most difficult thing about doing them well is getting the tension right as they often come out looking a bit too tight or too loose. Any tips for this?

I'll join, but I don't have pictures yet. I don't see a point in having long hair if no one ever sees it. I like braids and buns occsionally, but I usually wear it down, and now that it's longer than BSL, half-ups look better. (Why don't I like half-ups at shorter lengths?)
This is a great idea and I agree with asking how it can be that nobody started a thread for this before, so I'm glad you did.
I'll be sure to use this as inspiration to some of my half-ups and while I don't have any pictures of new ones, I'll just post something from my album. This is just two small lace braids braided straight down and pinned up, decorated with a leaf clip and a necklace which I thought might suit the style.

I love half-ups! They're my favourite way to wear my hair down, especially with braidwaves. Here's one from July, with an XS Flexi-8:
I really need to be more creative though, I love your rope braided one Becky. It reminds me of one of Kate Winslet's beautiful styles from Finding Neverland - here's a still. I can never get it to look so lovely (but I suppose having stylists adjust it between every take helps a lot ).
Eowyn inspired with mini Flexi-8. Great idea for a thread.

Ocelan, that's so intricate!
Lize, the shine!
I've never done this but I will take this as a challenge something to try.
