Simple, classy 'up' styles for curly hair?

I need to have my hair tied back for work, but when I put it in a basic ponytail it looks kind of boring. It's quite long, side parted, with a loose curl, and I have an oval-shaped face. Can anyone suggest a smart style that won't take ages to do? Thanks! x

why not try a messy bun or when you do a ponytail just pull half of the hair through and flick the ends out looks nicer than it sounds

do a poof in your hair and then put it in a ponytail.

you could try the pony tail in different positions - higher or lower, or to the side (if your parting is left to right have it on the right side, or vice versa)

buns are simple to do, but can look really pretty, and you could leave a few curls down the side of your face (unless you need all your hair tied back)

another possibility is to buy a large clip, and then gather hair into low ponytail, twist and hold up the back of your head and then clip into place.

Good Luck x
