How To Make Space Buns?
Start by preparing your hair for styling. Using a comb, create a horizontal parting across the back of your head, separating the hair you want to leave out from the rest. Take the remaining hair, excluding the section you separated, and divide it into two equal parts. This will be used to create the space buns. Starting with one section, twist the hair clockwise until it begins to coil around itself. Continue twisting until the hair forms a bun shape. If you have short curly hair, you can simply add a curl cream for definition and take a few strands of the remaining pieces of hair from each side of the section and wrap them around the base of each space bun. Check the overall look and make any adjustments to ensure symmetry and desired volume. If you’re going for a loose, lived-in style, you can pull out a few tiny sections of hair near the front to give it a casual look.
