8. Updo for Curly Hair with a Side Braid
This is our best evening wear option! Above the ears, create two horizontal French braids. Pin and tuck all of the loose ends to create a smooth, gathered mass of curls at the base of the neck. There you have it—ultimate perfection!
9. Low Tuck Updo
Look at this exquisitely carved work of art! When faced with uncooperative hair, save this elegant style for when you have little time. It’s ideal for days when you have to rush to work and don’t have time to wash your hair before leaving.
10. Formal Updo for Curly Hair
Both naturally straight hair and hair that has been curled with a curling iron work well for this updo. To create loose curls before styling, use a curling iron on people with pin-straight hair or lifeless waves. Sort your curls into three groups. Loosely braid the middle section, then gather the braid into a bun. Roll the side pieces into braids and encircle the middle bun. You’ll create an exquisitely intricate updo suitable for any event!

12. Romantic Updo for Balayage Hair
It’s obvious that @rachelharris_hairmakeupbeauty has mastered the art of creating stunning curly updos based on this delicate, highlighted style.

13. Spiral Curl Updo with Flower Adornment
Curly hairstyles work best with adorable, striking accessories, like this pale orange rose that contrasts beautifully with the dark brown hair. Bringing the hair back and loosely creating a chignon-like shape. Add a hairpiece as a highlight, and done!

Curly bun updos don’t always have to make you look like you’re going to prom, despite what your grandmother may have told you when you were a young girl.
