Natural curly updo hairstyles are an elegant way to show off textured locks. This look accentuates loose tendrils from newly washed or second-day curls by pinning them back into a sleek mass of strands. This beautiful prom updo is an easy yet stunning way to glam up any formal look quickly. Pin and twist loose strands into a high ponytail for added drama; leave some front strands framing your face for added definition.
1. Side Braid
A messy side braid is a timeless classic and an excellent style choice for those with curly locks. Like AnnaLynne McCord from 90210, you can add some flair by adding tendrils that frame your face for an eye-catching updo that complements any outfit. Try this dramatic style at your next prom or special event to make an impressionful statement. It features wild twist-out curls in the front that resemble side bangs and tight side braids secured into buns at the back. Finish it off with a mist of hairspray to lock in shape and hold natural curls all night long!
Twisted Crown Braid
For an elegant style, try wearing a twisted crown braid. Arden Cho paired hers with floral clips, but it can easily be made more eye-catching with flowers, beads, or even sparkling diamante slides! It is ideally suited for medium-length strands but works equally well when worn with longer manes.
2. High Bun
A classic high bun is an effective way to keep hair secure, and Vanessa Hudgens’ locks inspire us with an eye-catching ombre version suitable for prom or other formal events. Add loose tendrils to frame the face if you have long, curly hair. For added style and sparkle, add delicate flowers or glittery diamantes for extra bling! For an eye-catching style, twisted curls can be pinched into a low bun for a dramatic look. This hairstyle works best on medium to long locks with natural movement
