Ways to style curly hair besides just leaving it down?

Hey curly haired people, what up or partially up styles have you found work successfully with curly hair?

Wearing my hair down day in and day out is really really boring (so DONT send me the usual photos of curly models with their hair down, please!). Things I'm already aware of: pony tails, mousse, difusers, and the power of light layers. I'm not looking for product advice, I'm looking for how I can put my hair up...

I like parting my hair to the side and using bobby pins to sweep the larger section of the hair back. Plastic clamps are good for putting the hair half up- my hair gets all tangled when I try to use twisties. Braids are good for days when you don't feel like styling your hair. Hope this helps!
