A New Take on the Space Buns Look

4 Materials
10 Minutes
Easy

In this tutorial, I’m going to show you a new take on space buns. We’re going to be combining space buns and bubble braids into one awesome look.


Let’s get started!

Tools and materials:

  • Hair ties
  • Hair elastics
  • Claw clips
  • Bobby pins
Sectioning hair

1. Split hair into sections

Start by dividing your hair down the center. Tie up the hair on one side so it’s out of the way.


On the other side, clip up the top half and leave the bottom half down.

Tying bubble braids

2. Tie bubble braids

Clip up the bottom section as well, leaving just a little bit of hair down. Tie that hair with an elastic.


Then let down a little more hair, combine it with the hair at the bottom, and tie it with an elastic a few centimeters above the first one.

3. Continue

Continue this process, gradually letting more hair down and tying the hair with elastics.


Be sure to keep an even distance between each elastic. In total, I tied five bubble braids.

Pulling on hair

4. Pull on hair

Gently pull on each of the bubble braids to make them more voluminous.

Tying top section

5. Tie top section

Let down your top section of hair, tie it with a hair tie, and separate it into two sections.

Twisting hair

6. Twist sections

Twist those two sections of hair around each other.

Making a bun

7. Make bun

Snake the braid around itself to make a high bun. Secure the ends in place with a bobby pin.


Then repeat the process on the other side of your hair, and you’re done!
