Everything You Need to Know about Creating the Perfect Space Buns
Before we check out the different versions of space buns, let us first master the art of creating traditional space buns. Here are the things you need to do:
Gather all your hair tools
To create this masterpiece, you’ll need a hairbrush, hair elastics, bobby pins, and a hairspray.
Prep your hair properly
The best way to prep hair is to get rid of tangles and knots. You can do this by brushing your hair.
Divide your hair
Make sure to create a middle by dividing your hair into two equal sections. Of course, the part of your hair must be as straight as possible.
Create ponytails
Create ponytails on the sides of your hair. Try to make it as high as possible and ensure that both ponytails are of the same height and placement.
Now, make the buns!
Here’s the exciting part. Create buns by wrapping the length of your hair around the base of the ponytails. Hold the buns secure using bobby pins and seal the deal by spraying hairspray all over it.
