5 Ways to Wear Space Buns
1. Classic Space Buns
This classic space bun hairstyle looks gorgeous on fashion blogger and model Emma Amitis. With a focus on thick and high up space buns, this look is super playful and laid-back that you can rock at school or on the weekend. Pair it with Emma’s ’90s fashion picks and you’ll be set to really rock this hairstyle.
2. Sleek Low Space Buns
You just may be able to get away with this look at the office. Part dry hair down the center, creating two even sections. Work a cream or serum into the hair to create a smooth, and shiny base. If you want to wear this hairstyle longer than a day, opt for using a gel that holds your look in place, like TRESemmé TRES Two Ultra Firm Control Gel. Add ponytail holders to each section then wrap each pony into a flat bun. Add hairpins to secure and done! If you want to add a funky touch to this look, try parting your hair in zigzags.
3. Space Buns on Natural Hair
If you’re looking to try a hairstyle that’s different from your day-to-day curly look, try out this updo. This is even an ideal style for when you’re having a bad hair day. Apply a leave-in detangler to make hair pliable like Suave Professionals Cream Detangler Spray to your hair and comb through.
Part hair down the center and create two curly ponytails on each side. Smooth gel onto the base of your hair to keep frizz tamed. Opt for Emerge Style Goals Gel because it does just that, along with providing your style with all-day control. If you have natural hair that’s extremely curly, before you bun, twist or braid the ends to help stretch and make it easier to coil the ends into a bun. Once you’ve created the bun, secure with hairpins. If you have fine hair, give a gentle tug to your buns to spread them out and make them look thicker.
4. Space Buns with Braids
If you’re ready for a space buns challenge, why not add some Dutch braids to the mix? Create some mini braids before putting your hair up to add the perfect accent to your look.
5. Space Buns with Scrunchies
If you don’t quite have the skillset to create some mini Dutch braids but you still want to take your look up a notch, add some bold accessories. We love the cutesy scrunchie trend, it’s quick yet effective.
Oh, and by the way, you can totally use any of these styles as a hair hack for deep conditioning on-the-go!
