31. Elegant Updo with Finger Waves

Searching for an elegant, one-of-a-kind look for your wedding? To create a sculpted mass of curls that cascades forward, pull all of the hair up to the top of the head for this highlighted updo. The back’s rivers of strands will stay in place thanks to hair glue. The ideal fusion of contemporary and vintage!

32. Spring Blossom Twisted Crown

It can be challenging to find light and airy updos for curly hair, especially when the curls have a tendency to frizz. However, this style effectively combats frizz in a refined manner. A delicate floral headband is used to accentuate the twisted and pinned sections that are thinner and thicker.

33. Low Sock Bun

If you want something sleek and pulled back, formal updos for curly hair can be difficult to pull off, but most curls can be controlled with a serum. A tube sock’s toe end is cut off, it is rolled up, a ponytail is threaded through, and the strands are pinned back down over the sock to create this bun.

34. Curly Mohawk Updo

Naturally curly hair looks great in this style because it brings attention to the curls and lets them rest off the neck. On darker hair, golden highlights stand out. Keep the top open and smooth the sides up. Set yourself apart by placing the curls down in front of you.

35. A Little Spring in Her Step Updo

Although this style of curled updo requires a little more work, the springtime effect is really cute and seductive! The spirals are tight enough to control the frizz, but the all-over curl gives you a little leeway to let them be free!

36. Messy Braid with Bun and Crown

Wavy hairstyles, such as this one, can be worn both formally and casually because of their extreme versatility. In this style, the crown is covered in an untidy braid that is tucked into a loose bun at the nape of the neck. It feels airy because a few strands are soaring free.

37. High Curled Bun with Wisps

This is a simple yet stylish style that is achieved by tying the ends of a high ponytail in a certain way. The face is framed by loose strands, and the front features attractive pompadour bangs that draw attention to the height of the top curls. All set to go!

38. Natural Ponytail with Side Bangs

This tall stack of tiny spirals is one of the most creative updos for curly hair that we’ve seen here. A few accentuated curls add a lot of visual texture and brightness to the overall effect. Stack all of your curls high to achieve the height of your dreams!

39. Simple Twist Updo

Although it appears complicated, this is actually fairly easy. Starting with the top, twist the sections along the sides until you have short ends, then pin the top. To achieve this flirtatious and fun look that can easily transition from jeans to a dress, repeat on the other side!

40. Large Curly Faux Hawk

This is a very manageable short hairstyle. Sections from each side should be taken up, twisted, and fastened with bobby pins. Make your way down vertically, and don’t be afraid of flaws. Your fauxhawk updo’s natural appearance will only add style points to it.
