Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you create this hairstyle on short and medium-length hair.
6 Easy Steps in Making Space Buns for Halloween
Prep hair.
Always start with clean and nourished hair. Don’t forget to condition your hair after shampooing so it’s well-moisturized and easy to style.
Buns and other tight hairstyles can cause breakage. We recommend Dove Hair Fall Rescue Keratin Tri-Silk Serum Shampoo, which has a combination of keratin, fiber actives, and serum ingredients that repair damage, nourish and protect your hair deeply, and leave it extra beautiful. This shampoo also has DynaZinc Complex that helps strengthen your hair fibers to give you extra strong, resilient hair.
Use an anti-hair fall conditioner as well. Try Cream Silk Ultimate Reborn Hair Fall Defense Tri-Oleo Conditioner. It is infused with a blend of argan, rosehip, and marula oil to help strengthen, smoothen, and moisturize your hair. This conditioner also has Break Shield Complex that makes brittle hair stronger from the roots to the tips and gives you 99% less hair fall from the first wash.
Divide and conquer.
Create a neat, center part to divide your hair into two equal sections. Then, take a small section from the upper left and right sections of your hair.
Tie each section.
Create pigtails with the sections you took. Tie them with a hair elastic or a hair tie that’s the same color as your tresses.
Make it look thick.
Tease each pigtail using a tail comb to add volume to and make your buns look fuller.
Time for the buns!
Twist one pigtail and wrap it around its base to form a bun. Secure it with bobby pins. Do the same on the other pigtail.
Done!
This hairstyle won’t take you hours to finish, so you’ll have plenty of time to party with your friends. Now, you’re ready to have tons of Halloween fun. Enjoy!
BONUS TIP:
Wear a headband with cat ears to create an anime-inspired, space bun hairstyle. Leave some strands loose and let them frame your face for added cuteness.
You can also try the space bun hairstyle on short curly hair. Halloween or not, it’s a quirky hairstyle that adds personality to your look. Go for it when you’re in the mood for something fun.
