12. Statement Making Updo

We love this next hair idea! The hair on the head is black and is styled into a trendy braid pattern. While the hair in the bun is braided and it is a brown color. This color combo is gorgeous and statement making. The braided pattern is amazing as it is so intricate. Hair like this will wow and make you stand out the crowd in style.

13. Accessorized Updo with Curls

Next, we have one of the most amazing updos to show you. The hair is split into two sections. On the lower section the hair is styled into cornrows, while the hair on the top section is beautiful and curly. This style is finished off with gold hair clips. We love the pattern of the hair clips and the curls are so glam. This is another updo that is perfect for more special occasions or parties. You could also opt for really glitzy hair clips.

14. Thin Cornrow Bun

Different braid thicknesses will create different hairstyles. Most of the updos featured have been created with chunkier braids. This next one shows the thinner version. As you can see, the cornrows are super thin which creates such an intricate and stunning hairstyle. This is an amazing bun that will suit everyone. Recreate the style and color or try your own color combo.
