Need Help finding 1/2 up 1/2 down hairstyle for naturally curly hair!

I ahve been looking at all the threads, searching online, but still haveing a hard time finding something I love...

I want to work with my curls...I do not want them t straighten them out and then re-curl them..I HATE THAT!

Please post anything you can find...my hair is long, to about the lower back....

Here is a pic:

Well - as a curly red headed bride to be myself - I have to tell you good luck finding a pic... I think we are on our own here, because most of the pictures show hair styles with straight hair that was curled for the day.... To me that doesn't count as curly hair. My advice would be to visit www.ouidad.com and take a look at how they style their hair. Then try to picture a veil on it, or better yet - take a run down to the salon and have them show you what to do with it. Call and tell them what you would like, and ask to have a consult or something. They don't do wedding hair - but perhaps they could just show you different styles - They are really experienced there and I have never met a group that was better with curls. Clearly - I am Ouidad's biggest fan - she actually cut my hair once and it was like meeting a movie star or something... which is sad but really true

I'm probably doing my hair my self, half up half down because I wouldn't trust a regular stylist to do it. If you do find a pic though, please send it to me. I think you are right though - work with the curls not against them. Good luck!

Just kidding, but in my search for you curly updo, I found this,and thought it was funny
