How To Make Space Buns:

Here is something interesting:

Did you know space buns are also called ‘double buns’? Rightly so because you have two buns on either side separated by a hair partition.

Let us get started on space buns tutorial.

1. Space Buns For Long Hair:

• To make basic space buns, brush your hair first. Then part them, running down the center of your head from the forehead to the nape.

• Comb your hair until it is smooth and free of tangles.

• Create two pigtails. Make them high on top of your head, or make them low (depending on your comfort level).

• Secure the pigtails with hair ties. Leave some hair strands loose around your forehead for a softer look.

• Tease the pigtails if you want to add some volume to your hairstyle. For that, lift your pigtails and run a comb through them a few times, starting from the ends to the point where you have the hair ties.

• Now, twist your pigtails, one by one into a rope. The tighter you twist the rope, the sleeker your bun will be.

• Coil the rope into a bun. And secure it with a hair tie. Just make sure that you wrap it away from your face, not towards it.

• Repeat the same process for your second bun.

• To make your buns look quirky, loosen the hair and straighten it with a flat iron.

• Use a hairspray to give your space buns a fuzz-free look. Bobby pins can be used to keep the buns intact.

2. Half Up Space Buns:

• Brush your hair and do a center parting in such a way that the left half of your hair falls over your left shoulder and the right half over your right shoulder.

• Secure one half of your hair on the left side with a hair tie so that it falls on your shoulder in a tied up fashion.

• Your half up ponytail is ready. The look resembles a ‘puppy-like’ ear.

• Repeat the same pattern on the other side of your hair parting.

• Now tease your half up ponytails by lifting it and backcombing it towards the hair tie using a hairbrush.

• Twist the ponytail into a bun. The tighter it is, the smaller and sleeker the bun will look.

• Secure the buns with hair ties.

• Your half up space buns are ready to kill.

3. Space Buns For Curly Hair:

• For doing space buns for curly hair, all you need is a head full of gorgeous curls.

• Follow the steps of the basic space bun tutorial and bingo! You are ready to turn heads.

4. Braided Space Buns:

• Once again, you need to follow the steps of the basic space bun tutorial.

• The only difference is that once you have done the center parting of your hair and tied the respective hair section with a hair tie, you have to make braids and then coil it up into a bun.
