Natural updos?

[Southernbella.]

I have a semi-formal event to go to, and I need a hairstyle. I'm APL stretched. I was thinking some kind of chignon, but I have no idea where to start. Help!

Pics, sites, Fotkis...I'll take whatever you've got!

To add: I'd prefer styles that can be done on untwisted hair.

This thread has some ideas. Also, you could try a bantu knot out and then pin it up...that usually works for me.

Oh and www.roshini.net. I know she had some cute updo's in there for a wedding she went to (or some other event).

Hope this helps!

Oh and since you have thick hair, what about a heidi braid? You can "fake" the braid coming from the back. My hair's not very thick up front so I just adjust it. I part my hair low on one side and braid it back. Then I braid the top going back and I either try to braid the back together to look continuous or I do a bun.
