What are some updo hairstyles for black women?

Some updo style options for black women include a top knot, a chignon, corn rows, braids, twists and pinned-up natural curls. Extensions add length if the hair is too short for an updo.

Top knots and chignons work best on relaxed hair and keep the look neat and polished. Natural hair is ideal for more structured styles that include corn rows, braids and twists. These style options help tame tight natural curls and keep fly aways under control. Corn rows, braids and twists also add direction and dimension to any updo hairstyle. Natural curls also work well in simple, pinned-up styles.
