Curly Hair Updo Ideas 

French Twist
The classic French twist is one of the most popular formal updos for curly hair. If you want to look elegant yet stylish, a French twist will just suit your needs. Start with parting your hair in the middle and split your hair into two even sections. Use a mouse tail comb to adjust your parting if required. Secure one section with a clutch while you work with another section. Twist the section tightly until you reach your ears and then secure it with a stylish barrette. Do the same with the other section as well. Once done, gather the remaining hair and roll it into a French twist and secure it nicely with bobby pins. To make it last long your might want to use some hairspray.

Curly Ponytails
Curly ponytails look cute. To do this hairdo, shampoo your hair and use a conditioner. Once your hair dries completely, pull all your hair at the back of the head and lift it as high as you desire. To add more volume, pull it higher. Now secure your hair with a band or a pretty ribbon. To make it appear shinier, apply some shine serum gel.

Formal Curly Buns
Buns are a great choice for women with curly hair. Depending upon your hair length, you can try different types of buns at the top of the head, at the nape of the neck, or wear it loose at the center of the back. Secure your bun with a nice hairpin or a barrette. If you wish to keep your bun intact for the whole evening, just use any good quality commercial hairspray.

Chignon
A chignon is a very stylish hairstyle for curly hair and can be worn either for a formal gathering or for a casual hang out with friends. If your hair length is up to your shoulder or more, and if your hair is curly, the chignon can be a great hairstyle for you. Gather the hair at the nape of the neck and secure it with a pin. Split the hair in two sections. Now, twist one section and bring it to the opposite side, wrapping the base of the ponytail in the process. Use fashionable barrettes to secure it. Do the other section in a similar way.
