As a curly-haired girl, I struggled to find natural hair inspiration for my wedding, I found a lack of brides<\/a> that looked like me, and stylists that were trained in working with my hair texture were few and far between. After much discussion online I realized I wasn\u2019t alone in this feeling. Don\u2019t get me wrong, we\u2019ve come a long way, but there\u2019s still so much more work to do!<\/p>\n

Though, in many ways, this experience was a silver lining because I decided to be my own<\/em> inspiration. And as someone who has grown to love and learn how to care for her natural hair over the years, I know that there\u2019s no one who knows our curls and coils better than we do.<\/p>\n

But if like me and you\u2019re not a whizz in the updo department, I have created this simple, DIY curly hairstyle. It’s great for a wedding or any formal<\/a> occasion, and suitable for all curl types. Luckily for us the basis of the bun is really simple and looks totally professional–I mean if I can do it, so can you!<\/p>\n

On the day, style and dry your hair how you typically would. Tip: Stick to what usually works for you; I wouldn\u2019t risk experimenting on your wedding day. I love frizz for the character, volume, and texture it gives, but I styled for definition this wash day to allow me to dictate the texture later on in the hairstyle. I dried my hair without the diffuser attachment because I wanted elongated curls that are easier to manipulate.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get into the tutorial!<\/p>\n

Curly Updo for Wedding<\/h2>\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Once fully dry simply gather all of the hair into a pony and pull it down. Release some tension from the pony and gently tug some curls around the perimeter of the head. This creates volume and lift at the crown.<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Then with both hands, twist the hair in one direction until halfway down the pony and then twisting around itself into a bun in the same direction. Holding with one hand, secure the bun and any loose curls with the other. You can use a hair tie, bungee, or bobby\/hair pins, placing them against the head until the bun feels nice and secure. Use as many as you like as you won\u2019t see them; we want this bun dance-proof!<\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Once secured, I like to add personality to the bun. I love textural face-framing pieces around my ears and I personally prefer that they are a little frizzier for a modern, edgy feel.<\/p>\n

Now for the fun part: adding the Lulus accessories!<\/h3>\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Starting with the Floral For You Gold Rhinestone Hair Comb Set<\/a>, I begin to place these around the head. I know I want one just above my ear so that was my starting point. (I needed 8 in total and I figured out beforehand roughly where I\u2019d need to place them.) I also knew I was adding smaller pins in between so I made sure I left space.<\/p>\n

Step 5:<\/strong> Next, I go in with the Bursting Blooms Gold Rhinestone and Pearl Hair Pin Set<\/a>. I used 6 in total and I think these really add a final flourish to the look. And that\u2019s the finished look!<\/p>\n

What I love about these hair accessories<\/a> is you can create so many variations of looks. I love the idea of embellishing just the bun with smaller pins or creating a crown with the larger combs around the perimeter of the head. So many possibilities! Once the wedding dress<\/a> is on it really starts to come together and feel so magical.<\/p>\n

*TOP TIP: Practice makes perfect, so be sure to give these hairstyles a try before the big day! I tested this hairstyle a couple of times before filming. So don\u2019t b disheartened if you don\u2019t get it on the first try! But it\u2019s simple for a reason, I\u2019m notoriously bad at updos, so if I can do it, so can you!<\/p>\n
