Natural Curly Hair Updos

Ponytails are the most stable method of keeping the curls up and we recommend this as the best starting point for long curly strands. A messy or funky look for curls is typically the most achievable option when doing your hair at home. If you require a more formal or professional style, then proper planning and consulting with your stylist would likely be necessary.

We’ve also included a few videos for those looking to add curls and create updos from straight hair.
