When you create your space buns, braiding your hair is a terrific technique to make sure that all of your hair is fastened and done evenly.

Pull half of your hair from up behind your ear to one side of your part, with your hair evenly parted on either side of your part. Your half-up space bun will be created from a piece of your hair like this: Once you’ve collected the pigtail, secure it with a little hair band to ensure that it doesn’t slide about. To make a pigtail on the other side of your component, follow the same procedure as before
- If you want to smooth out your hair once you’ve gathered your pigtail into your hands, you may use a hair brush. Get yourself a few little hair elastics from your neighborhood drugstore or big box shop
- 3 Using your fingers, twist one pigtail all the way down the length of it. Grasp one pigtail between your index and middle fingers and spin it until it begins to twist. Continually do this until the entire pigtail is twisted all the way down to the end
- Twist your ponytail tightly if you desire little space buns, whereas twisting your pigtail loosely will help you get larger space buns.
- 4 Form a bun by wrapping the twisted pigtail in a circle around itself. While maintaining the twist in your ponytail, begin looping the pigtail around itself at the point where the elastic is located. To style the ponytail, wrap your fingers around it in a circle until it forms a bun.
- One hand should be used to hold the bottom of your ponytail to maintain the twist in place, and the other hand should be used to guide the pigtail in a circle around itself
- 5 Secure the bun in place with bobby pins to prevent it from falling out. With one hand, secure the bun in place while using the other to put bobby pins into your hair to hold the bun in place. Make sure the bobby pins are equally distributed throughout the bun so that it doesn’t shift, and pin back any stray hairs that emerge from the bun if necessary.

Make sure the bobby pins are equally distributed throughout the bun so that it will not move, and pin back any stray hairs that emerge from the bun if necessary.
- 5 Secure the bun in place with bobby pins. With one hand, hold the bun in place while using the other to put bobby pins into your hair to keep the bun in place. Make sure the bobby pins are equally spaced around the bun so that it will not move, and pin back any stray hairs that emerge from the bun if necessary.
- Try loosening areas of your bun with your fingers or using bobby pins to make your second space bun seem more comparable to the first if the first doesn’t look just right.
- 7Adjust the style of the bottom half of your hair to your liking. While keeping the top half of your hair in two space buns, you may choose whether or not to style the remainder of your hair at this point. If desired, use a curling iron to create soft curls, or a flat iron to straighten your hair if you prefer
- 1 After combing out any knots, part your hair down the center and pin it up. Because your space buns will encompass practically all of your hair, part your hair starting at the front of your head and working your way all the way down to the rear of your head. Form a straight line with a comb and, if necessary, use a mirror to assist you view the back of your head
- While a straight part is preferred, it is not necessary to fret if your part is not flawless. If you want to separate your hair into two sections, you can use huge hair clips.
- Using your hair, tie each side of your hair together around the top of your head. Pull one side of your hair together, using your part as a guide, so that it rests towards the top of your head, close to your part on the other side. If necessary, use a brush to smooth it out, and then fasten it with a hair tie or an elastic band. Make a second huge ponytail on the other side of your hair by following the same procedures as before.
- Examine your pigtails in the mirror to determine if they are equally distributed on your head. It is possible to make them more symmetrical by re-doing the ones that are unbalanced or uneven
- However, this is not always possible. If you want space buns that look like Princess Leia’s, tie them closer to your ears so that they’re on either side of your head
- Otherwise, knot them further away from your ears.
- 3 Tease the hair in your pigtail to add extra volume to the style. You may tease your ponytail with one hand while holding the pigtail out with the other. Towards order to tease your hair, comb or brush it in the direction of your scalp rather than down the length of your hair. This will add additional volume to your bun and make it appear more full-bodied.
- Avoid over-teasing your hair since it will cause damage. To tease your ponytail, use three to five strokes of the comb and check to see if it helps it seem fuller before teasing it even more.
- 4 Create a bun by wrapping the pigtail around itself in a circle. Make a bun out of your teased ponytail by guiding it around in a circle with your fingertips. You will be able to tell how little or huge your bun is by how firmly or loosely you wrap it.
- Wrap your bun loosely if you want a larger bun, or firmly if you want a smaller and more secure bun.
- 5 Use bobby pins or a hair tie to secure the bun in place. With one hand, hold the bun in place while using the other to pin the bobby pins in place. Stick bobby pins evenly around the bun’s base to secure it in place. Concentrate on the foundation of your hair bun. Once the bun is in place, pin down any stray strands that may have appeared.
- Make sure your bun is secure by inserting bobby pins and letting go of the bun to see whether it’s still secure. If you give your hair a tiny shake, you’ll be able to tell whether or not the bun moves. It may be necessary to add extra bobby pins to hold it in place if it begins to shift.
- 6 To construct the second bun, repeat the previous procedures on the other side of the bun. Just as you did with the first ponytail, tease the other pigtail as well. Using your fingers, twirl the pigtail over itself to make a bun, wrapping it as securely or loosely as you did the other. The second bun should be secured in place using bobby pins.
- In order to make a smaller bun appear larger, use your fingers to gently pull on the hairs of the larger bun
- If one of your buns is smaller than the other, use your fingers to gently pull on the smaller bun
- Pin back any loose hairs at the nape of your neck with the use of bobby pins. Because your hair is short, you’re likely to have a few stray strands that didn’t manage to remain in your space buns. Gather these hairs together at the back of your head and fix them in place with a bobby pin so that they do not interfere with the rest of your hair. If necessary, check in a mirror to ensure that they are all pinned up properly.
- Use a flexible, thick headband to conceal the bobby pins that are holding your short hair in place if you are concerned about them being apparent. Stretch out the back of your neck so that the headband is completely covering the bobby pins
- Pull up the headband over your forehead
- If you don’t want your hair to fly away, wear braided pigtails instead of knotted ones. Create two pigtails by collecting equal pieces of your hair and tying each one with an elastic to keep it in place when you’ve finished styling it. Pull each pigtail all the way through and bind it with an elastic band at the end of each braiding section. It will be much easier to twist the pigtail into a bun now since the hair will be much more secure.

Braid each pigtail all the way to the end, then fasten each braid with an elastic band. It will be much easier to twist the pigtail into a bun now that the hair has been secured.
- 2 Style your hair in a double dutch braid at the front of your head for a fashionable effect. Start by braiding the first portion of your hair, starting above the outer corner of your eye and working your way down the rest of your hair. As you work your way back around your head, gather additional hair into the braid. Stop the dutch braid when you reach the point where you want your space bun to rest, and pull the rest of your hair into a pigtail to finish off the look. The dutch braid and pigtail should be secured with an elastic, and the side should be finished with a bun.
- Repeat the process with the other piece of your hair, resulting in two dutch braids at the top of your head that lead into your two space buns. To prevent your dutch braid from coming undone when you attempt to collect the remainder of your hair into a pigtail, bind it with an elastic first
- Otherwise, it will come undone.
- 3 Tie the short hairs at the back of your neck together so that they are not loose. Part your hair all the way down the back of your head and use clips to divide the two sides. Turn your head over and begin braiding one side of your hair, starting at the base of your neck and working your way up the length of your head. Continue building your bun until you reach the top of your head, where you will fasten the braid with an elastic band.
- This procedure should be repeated on the opposite side of your portion in order to generate the other bun as well. Make one more pass through your hair with the back of your head flipped over for a smoother appearance. Continue to draw your hair into the braid as you work your way up the length of your hair.

(Example of two buns on the top of the head aka “space buns.”)
Space buns can be styled in the same way as sloppy buns. Alternatively, you may do ballerina buns. You may even want to experiment with braided buns. There’s a hairdo for every occasion, even formal occasions. What I like about the space bun hairstyle is that it is easygoing and enjoyable. It’s something I can’t seem to get enough of. Check out these simple step-by-step instructions on how to create beautiful space buns for your hair if you’re interested in doing the same with your hair. But first and foremost, here’s what you’ll need to get things started.
Space Buns Step By Step Instructions
You’ll need to prepare your hair for space buns before you can start styling it in them. First and foremost, brush your hair. This will assist you in keeping your hair free of knots and tangles after washing it.
2. Split your hair.
Now that you’ve finished cleaning your teeth, let’s go on to the next stage. Using a comb, separate your hair into two portions. In an ideal situation, you would split it along the center, resulting in two equal portions. Because I’m a stickler for perfection, I recommend separating your hair as straight and evenly as you possibly can. To create the portion, a pick or a small comb might be used. Make use of a mirror to double-check the accuracy of your space buns component. It is important to take your time with this stage since uneven volumes of hair can ruin your entire space bun hair style.
3. Add the ponytails.
Let’s get started with the ponytails once you’ve divided your hair into two equal sections. What you want to do is clump a piece of your hair together in one place. After that, pull your hair into a ponytail. Then position it so that it rests on the top and back of your head. You want to make sure that all of the bumps and clusters are smooth and uniform. As for the positioning of the hair, you may simply alter it later on to suit your own desire. Just keep in mind that the base of the ponytail will be the location of your space bun.
Make sure the second one is identical in appearance to the first one. Even more significantly, make sure to verify your positioning in the mirror before proceeding; otherwise, you will wind up with a crooked space bun hair.
4. Start working on the space buns.
It’s time to put the finishing touches on your ponytails by creating your space buns. Wrap the length of your hair around the base of your ponytail; this will serve as the focal point of your space buns. Next, use bobby pins to hold the freshly created buns in place while they dry. I would recommend that you use bobby pins that are the same color as your hair (or accessories, if there are any). This will allow you to get a seamless appearance. If you need assistance with this stage, you may view this video instruction on space buns.
5. Seal it with your spray.
You don’t want all of your hard work to go to waste once you’ve finished both sides, do you? Now that you have your space buns in position, the following step is to secure them. Make use of hairspray to get this look. After you’ve finished styling your adorable space buns, spritz them with hair spray.

Prepare Your Natural Hair for Space Buns
It is not possible to get the desired look by doing space buns on dry, unwashed natural hair. There are a few measures you’ll need to follow in order to prepare your natural hair for your space buns.
Wash Your Hair
For a fresh start, we recommend shampooing your hair with a sulfate-free shampoo to provide a beautiful clean slate.
This is because shampoos without sulfates are typically gentle on your hair, which is why we mention “sulfate-free.” If you opt to use a sulfate shampoo, keep in mind that it may cause your hair to become brittle.
Condition
After you’ve washed your hair, condition it, or deep condition it. This step is critical, especially if you intend to keep the style for a few of days. Make use of a moisturizing conditioner or a deep conditioner of your preference. Read this article to learn how to deep condition your hair at home with products you already have.
Moisturize
Consider devoting a few minutes to applying a hair moisturizer to your hair, since hydrated hair behaves better than dry, crispy hair. Don’t miss the moisturizing process if you want your hair to be as supple and cooperative as possible. A moisturizing spray, a moisturizing lotion, or your favorite essential oil might be used to achieve this result. Just make sure you don’t overdo it with the moisturizer, especially if you’re going for a sleek space bun look.
Apply a Styler
For defined curls, add a styler of your choice to your hair and then allow your hair to air dry for several minutes. If you want your space buns to be sleek, you may skip this step.
Stretch Your Hair (only for Sleek Space Buns)
If you want your space buns to be extremely sleek, you’ll need to manage your hair into a more sleek form. This step is optional because space buns do not need to be smooth, but if you want your hair to be sleek, follow the instructions below to learn how to stretch your hair before creating your space bun. In order to expand your hair, you can employ a variety of techniques, which are detailed below:
Stretch with Braids
- Using a comb or your fingers, divide your hair into various portions and pin them up. Hair should be divided into two or more pieces, as a general rule of thumb. However, depending on the thickness of your hair, you may need to divide it into multiple portions. Braid each portion all the way down to the ends of the braid. To prevent braids from unraveling prematurely, secure them with a ponytail holder or rubber band at the end of each row. Allowing your hair to air dry is recommended. Take the braids apart
French braids
- Using a halo parting, divide your hair into two portions. Each part should be French braided. Attempt a minimum of two french braids
- Allowing your hair to air dry is recommended. Take the braids apart
The instructions in this post will walk you through how to put french braids on your hair in depth and step-by-step.
Banding
I STRETCH MY TYPE 4 NATURAL HAIR WITHOUT USING HEAT AND WHILE MAINTAINING LENGTH
- Make two low ponytails on either side of your head, one on each side of your head. Ponytail holders should be used to secure each ponytail. Wrap extra ponytail holders or a wide flexible band around the length of your hair many times until you reach the ends
- Then repeat the process. Allow for total air drying of your hair. Remove the ponytail holders/band from your hair.
Blow Dry
Alternatively, blow drying your hair may be used for a more expedient approach of expanding your hair. We advocate reducing the usage of heat to the greatest extent feasible. You may, however, utilize the “cool” setting on your blow dryer to stretch your hair as it dries to achieve this effect. While blow-drying your hair, spread it out with a brush as you go. If you want to utilize the high heat setting on your blow dryer, make sure to use a heat protectant before doing so.
Straighten Your Hair (only for Sleek Space Buns)
Straightening your hair before creating incredibly sleek space buns is a good idea. Prevent heat damage to your hair by using a heat protectant before straightening your hair. Take the following precautions to reduce the likelihood of heat damage occurring:
- Prepare your hair by detangling it before you begin straightening it. Heat protectant should be applied evenly throughout the hair, making sure that all of the strands are protected
- Using a comb, separate your hair into four portions. Small pieces of hair should be flat ironed from root to tip. Make sure you don’t skip over any sections more than once. Read this article to find out how to flat iron your hair without causing heat harm to it. Repeat the previous process on your whole head of hair
In the event that you do not wish to straighten your hair, go to the following step.
Do the Ponytails
Using a rat tooth comb, create a straight section along the centre of your hair. You are welcome to take your time to ensure that the part is correct. When it comes to the cleanliness of your parts, you don’t have to stress over them. However, you may discover that the style appears better when your parts are straight. Make two ponytails on either side of your head, one on each side of your head. Ideally, ponytails should be worn high and to one side.
Ponytail holders are tied around each ponytail, with care taken not to knot them too tightly. In the event that you tie them excessively tightly, you may suffer from headaches and perhaps lose the hair surrounding your hairline. Tight hairstyles are one of the most common causes of hair loss.
Lay Down Stray Hairs
Space buns can be smooth or textured, but the hair above the ponytail holder (your roots) should be flat and laid regardless of which style you choose. Apply some gel to your roots and brush it through your hair to get a smooth finish. In order to get a smooth bun, make certain that the gel you use will not cause your hair to revert back to its original form. If you want the look of neatly set edges, consider using edge control gel. It should be applied to the hair around your hairline, and your baby hairs should be styled how you desire.
Using this product will offer you greater control over your hairs and will not pull them out.
Use a Scarf to Set Your Roots
You’ve been through a lot in order to bring your hair to this stage. A silk or satin scarf is essential for establishing your roots. Tie the scarf around your hairline; this will help to flatten the roots even further. Leave the scarf on for a few minutes while you proceed to the following phase, when you will construct your space buns hairdo.
Create Your Space Buns
It is likely that the most difficult element of the styling procedure will be creating your space buns. To make your space buns, do the following steps:
- Make a rope out of your loose hair by twisting it around itself many times. Make a circular motion with your hair around the base of your ponytail
- This will secure it. Make use of bobby pins to hold the ends in place
It may take a few tries to get the buns to look round, but once you get the hang of it, they’ll look perfect.
For Short Hair
Using adonut bun maker, which you will wrap your hair around, you may get a fuller look if your hair is short or you want more volume.
Braided Space Buns
You may also build a braided bun to add a little extra flare to your look. Make a three-strand braid from the roots to the ends of your hair, wrap the braid around the base of your ponytail, and fasten with bobby pins.
Freeze the Style in Place
If you choose, you may spritz your hair with a holding spray to keep it in place. It helps the style to endure longer, decreases flyaways, and improves the general stability of the bun by adding more volume to it. Once you’ve removed the silk scarf from your hair, you’re finished.
