#34: Black Updo with Defined Waves

Will you take a look at these waves? Of course! You are likely to do a double take – so perfect they are! This is also a very romantic updo because of the way all of the defined curls twist and turn around each other to form one uniform vintage hairdo.

#35: African-American Long Twisted Braid

Most brides make their wedding dresses the focal point of their look, but why not make your African hair the standout feature? Bold and beautiful black wedding hairstyles like this one deserve the chance to shine. This mohawk features an extra long coiled braid and tight sides for a super sleek glamorous finish.

#36: Buttery Curls

Similar to the look above, this hairdo also uses pin curls as the basis for the wedding style. The result is the soft, almost wave-like hairdo that is incredibly romantic. Don’t style with too many hair accessories or a veil – you do not want to hide those cuties, right?

#37: Waterfall Curls with Bang

Curly hair already has a fair amount of texture, especially when it comes to tight curls. If you want to add something special on top of that, it’s important to make sure it doesn’t argue with what is on the bottom. A waterfall braid easily accents your curly style without taking too much away from it.

#38: Twisted and Regal

The only downside about fancy braided and twisted updos is that all the spice of the look can sometimes appear hidden when glancing at the wearer from the front. To combat the flat look, you need a style that is thick enough to be seen from all angles. From the front this looks like a beautiful braided crown and from the back it is an elaborate twisted pin-up.
