A Simple, DIY Updo That Works on Short Natural Hair

To transform your everyday curls into a night-out updo, make five sections (two horizontally on the sides and three vertically in the back). Twist hair upward on the sides, rolling it in itself while tucking in the ends. Secure with U-shaped hairpins as you go along. Make sure to insert each pin below the twist, and then flip it and push all the way in using a downward motion.
