This is a bold and highly structured updo. Latin beauty Paz Vega looks very elegant in her modern celebrity half-up hairstyle. Notice how the braids, when wrapped completely around, help to keep her formal hair in place.

It's a great Latina hairstyle for brunettes that works for special occasions such as wedding (brides or bridesmaids), and prom, too—if you like the drama of a slight beehive look.
