Intricate Braided Updo on Natural Hair

This braided updo works best for thick, coily, or tightly curled hair, as the braids hold structure and volume. Tell your stylist you want cornrows or flat twists that feed into a gathered bun or knot at the crown. Maintenance is easy. just wrap with a satin scarf at night and use a light oil to keep your scalp moisturized. It's ideal if you want a protective style that'll last about a week or two.
