3. The Romantic Curly Updo

How To Style:
- Pull hair into a loose, high ponytail and secure with a scrunchie
- Loosely pin a selection of curls over the scrunchie to conceal
- Leave plenty of natural curls cascading down over the bobble
- For a sexy undone vibe, pull out a few strands around the hairline and nape of the neck
Tip: Why not add a patterned headscarf for a funky finish?
