An updo with natural hair is a hairstyle that pulls the hair up from the neck and away from the face, styled into a bun, twist, or other style. It can involve all hair or just the hair on top of the head, showcasing natural hair textures and lengths.
Updos are versatile, elegant, and practical, keeping hair out of the face and tidy. They have been embraced by natural hair enthusiasts as a way to showcase their hair's beauty and versatility. Historically, updos have been worn for centuries by women of African descent, with styles like the bantu knot or pineapple bun holding cultural significance.
