Types of Curly Buns
-
The basics for a curly bun are curls and hairpins. Make a curly bun by using a curling iron on straight hair, then piling the curls up for a soft waterfall effect. Or, wrap those curls into a curly bun low on the neck, and leave strands of hair free around the temples and brow. Pin and gather curls into place on the sides of the head for a fun and funky look, or on the very top for a look worthy of the Paris runway. Add a few bows or sparkly hair accessories for a night out, and you are ready for any event. According to the Hair Boutique website, the messy undone bun is an easy, fun look as well. Make a shallow part, and loosely comb the hair to the back in a ponytail. Curl and pin the ends under. Gently sweep the hair in front up and away from the face, and you have a new style.
Types of Braids

Braids can run the gamut of looks. Make little girl pigtails by dividing the hair down the center, then braiding each side. Do individual braids by parting the hair off into small sections and braiding each one. You can also use synthetic hair to create individual braids, which can result in a longer, fuller look. French braids are a classic example of a braid that goes from day to night easily, and you can do these either as a single braid down the back, or as braids on either side of the head. Braids can easily be decorated with beads, bows and hair accessories. Individual braids have the most versatility; you can wear them down, or put them up into just about any other hairstyle. The bonus to braids is that they can protect the hair against wear and tear. Once braided, there is no need to brush or comb for at least a week. This can promote hair growth, especially if you've suffered from damaged hair.

Putting Them Together
-
Curly buns and braids equal an almost limitless number of options. You could try a small French braid across the top of the head, curling the rest of the hair into a bun. Or part off two locks of hair from the front, and pin up the back for a curly bun with hair flowing from the bottom--a waterfall effect. Then, braid the two locks into individual braids and pin them into the waterfall. For a variation on this, let the braids hang for a looping effect, then pin. Another idea is to French braid the hair from the nape of the neck up to the crown. Curl the ends, and pin them into a bun. Individual braids would also work with this because of their flexibility. Curl the ends and--you guessed it--pin them into a bun, a high one near the top of the head. The lines of the braids will lead the eye right to the bun itself.
