This style is all about the details: an imperfect angle, a tiny braid, and some hair sticking out at the ends makes for a more memorable bun.

Use a medium-barrel curling iron to wind the hair into spirals, then brush them through for a glamorous look.

Something sparkly ups the formality alongside some simple waves.

Side part your hair and secure the front sections from each side at the nape of your neck with a clear band for an alternative to the standard half-up, half-down look.

If you've got shorter strands, secure them into a tiny pony at the nape of your neck and scrunch the hair left up front.

A braid this major is the ultimate excuse to try those clip-in extensions you've been thinking about.

Rake some gel through your roots with a brush, and voila.

Micro cornrows joined by bantu knots above one ear complement a side-swept bounty of curls.

If you've got curls for days, just add some volume and embrace your natural texture.

This style is all about contrast. Slick your strands tightly against your scalp with gel, then wind up what's left into a loose twist.

An updo doesn't have to be difficult. Add some bends to your strands with a curling wand, then wind your hair into a loose twist and secure with bobby pins.
