(Source: Amy Frances)We noticed a trend popping up among celebs lately: Half updos are back. But not just any half updo will do. We've spotted a number of celebs from Kate Mara to Ashley Tisdale rocking a mini half-up top knot. Although you might be tempted to just make a little loop and call it a day, there's an equally quick way to create this 'do that takes almost no time and looks infinitely more stylish. We called in our friends at Latest-Hairstyles and Jenny Strebe from The Confessions of a Hairstylist to get the how-to for mastering this 'do every time.Tools You'll Need
