Updos are favorite to every woman because of their ease and versatility. No matter you have dark skin or not, you know how convenient updos are. In this article, we want to present the most beautiful updo hairstyles that are perfect for black women.

If you haven’t tried a braided bun, messy curly ponytail with beads, or a faux hawk, they need to be on your list. These styles are protective for black women wanting to grow out their locks while rocking a chic easy hairdo. And no matter your hair texture, there’s a style that will work with it.

Trendy Updo Hairstyles for Dark Skin

Sometimes it can be easy to fall into a rut of pulling your black hair up into a bun or ponytail. But what’s the fun of having hair if you can’t style it into something gorgeous? Your next beautiful look is below in this list of 35 updo hairstyles for black women.

1. Thick Curly Bun

Those soft curls in your black hair deserve to be shown off! A large bun designed specifically for thick hair is the way to go. A sock bun accessory will help you get this perfect round shape. When finished, loosen a few tendrils for softness. 

2. Loose Space Buns

Space buns are often misunderstood! These beauties are no longer just for little girls. To try this updo for your black hair, first comb it out into a center part. Then loosely form two high ponytails, wrapping the hair loosely around for a thicker result.

3. Low Teased Bun

A wedding or date is the perfect occasion to flaunt your black hair in this beautiful updo. To give it a little height, tease the crown first before gathering together a messy, low bun. 

4. Afro Ponytail + Bandana

Using fun accessories is one of the best parts about having hair! If you have afro-textured or very thick curly hair, make a high ponytail, using a bandana to smooth hair off the face and add color and personality.
