Simple Curly Updo: The Bun
One of the easiest ways to put your curly hair up is in a bun. Here's a simple guide:
- Gather your hair: Gently gather all your curls as if making a ponytail, positioning it where you want your bun to sit.
- Twist or wrap: Twist the gathered hair, or wrap it into a bun.
- Secure with a hair tie: Use a hair tie to secure the bun, but don't pull all the curl ends through. Leave some of them out to create a more relaxed and textured look. This is mentioned in the YouTube video ([Part of a video titled Upgrade Your Curly Updos: 5 Easy Hairstyle Ideas - YouTube]).
- Adjust as needed: Use a mirror to check the back and adjust any loose curls until you're satisfied with the look.
