The updo hairstyle possibilities for naturally curly hair are endless.
Whether you’re looking for an elegant look for a wedding or a casual messy updo for a night out, your curls can be
molded into a beautiful updo. Curly hair updos are easy to create and a number of them can be done from the
comfort of your own home.
Curly Hair Updos Hair Tips
Here are a couple of tips to remember before creating that perfect updo:
Curly hair should never be washed the same day as the event. Always leave at least a day’s window
from when you last clean your hair. This prevents the hair from becoming frizzy.
Always use a comb, pick or your fingers in lieu of a brush when preparing curly hair
Curly hair is more sensitive than normal hair. Therefore it is imperative to find a shampoo that
works for your hair. When you’re washing it the day before the event, be gentle and use a conditioner
that is specific for curly hair.
When drying curly hair, do not use a blow dryer whenever possible. If you need to use one, then use
one with a diffuser. Gently pat your hair dry with a towel to avoid tangles and frizz.
Curly hair can be a blessing or a curse and it’s likely that you’ve experienced some sort of horror story at one
point or another with your curly hair. You know your hair best and experimentation is the best way to figure
out which updo will be perfect for you.
Messy Updo
As discussed in our 2010 Updo Trends section, messy half updos are in
for this wedding and prom season. This is a great choice for curly hair and allows for a bit of error it
attempting to achieve the perfect look. Grab those curls and comb then back into a twisted bun. Pull
some of the hair out of the middle of the bun to add some volume. You don’t want to leave front curls
covering your face but a couple side-swept ringlets will add a soft touch. Every hair length is different so
experiment with your style and use those curls to your advantage!
Romantic Updo
Curls are the essence of romance. Or at least when it comes to updos they are. We suggest putting
your hair up in a chignon, or getting your hair caught up in a wavy bun. Let your curls run naturally and
allow the gorgeous tendrils to shape your face. There are infinite romantic updo options for curly
hair. Choose the one that is right for you!

your hair behaves on the big day. Above all else, know that your curls are beautiful and wear them with
pride!
