Richard Mannah (), Joico Global Senior Artistic Director introduces the Chic Holiday Half-Up, Half-Down โจ๐ a modern take on a classic style designed to feel effortless yet elevated, with the perfect balance of softness and structure.
โI wanted to create a modern take on the classic half-up, half-down hairstyle, something that felt effortless yet elevated. The goal was to achieve a look that is clean, chic, and wearable while still having enough detail and texture to make it feel refined,โ Richard shares.
The result? A polished, elegant holiday style featuring sleek sides, soft waves, subtle crown volume, and a seamless finish that feels effortlessly modern.
โจ Why Richardโs technique stands out:
Securing the sleek side sections with a discreet elastic creates a clean, seamless finish while adding extra hold and longevity. Soft waves and volume through the crown balance the structure, keeping the finished look refined yet touchable.
Richardโs Joico Styling Lineup:
โข Dream Blowout Glass 72HR Frizz Fighter
โข Heat Hero Glossing Thermal Protector
โข Flip Turn Volumizing Finishing Spray
Pro Tip ๐ก
โApply hairspray to a bristle toothbrush rather than directly onto the hair when smoothing flyaways. This gives you greater control and creates a polished finish without making the hair feel stiff or overloaded.โ
