Q&A for How to Do Space Buns

You can use no-heat straightening methods (check out How to Straighten Your Hair Without Heat ). Your hair really doesn't need to be pin-straight for space buns; in fact, I think that messier, curlier ones look better. I've seen people with really curly hair make it work without straightening their hair. If it's really difficult to get an even part or get the hair to twist, dry getting it damp.

There are plenty of products for untangling your hair. Otherwise, I suggest going very slowly and carefully, brushing your hair and untangling rough spots as you go.

Yes, braid the ponytails, then wrap them around like buns and secure them with bobby pins.

You could always use a straightener, but keep it on low heat. It doesn't have to be super straight. If it doesn't work on low, take it up one notch.

You can just make the buns looser and they'll appear as larger.

Yes, you can. They might look bigger, though, depending on how tight you do your twists/braids.

Make sure you have an even middle parting. I'd also recommend using lots of bobby pins and starting out by putting them in pigtails first.

It your hair is not long enough to reach high up onto your head, you should try low buns instead.

To get them not to wiggle, use bobby pins, and if you don't have bobby pins, use more hair ties. To get them even, you would have to take your hair and evenly split it down the middle using the middle hair line.

You should have enough hair to do a half up half down style, seen in part 2.

Try blow drying your hair and using some type of gel to hold it up. If this doesn't work, you can use synthetic ponytail pieces.

You could try putting gel or hairspray on your hair while in the pigtails; it'll help them look cleaner.

You don't need to use bobby pins, though it does make it easier. Just try using more hair ties to secure your hair.

You can try, but I’m guessing it will be quite difficult since you will have to consider the extension clips.

If you make them tight and use bobby pins and hair spray, they should last all day.

Maybe you didn't do your pigtails high enough. Just make your pigtails higher and keep trying.

Of course you can! You can tease your hair to keep it from slipping, or you can try curling your hair.

I have the same exact issue, and I just use more bobby pins or hair ties to secure the hair in place.

They aren't as important, but are generally helpful in keeping baby hairs out of the way.

When I started out, I would just use hair ties or ribbons that wrap around the buns to keep them in place; however, it made them look quite tight and not as messy as I'd hoped! If you want to keep the buns in place, try using hair clips just underneath the bun; if it's hair falling out of place you need to tame, you could always use hair mousse or lots of hairspray.

If your hair is really thin like mine, you could still do it the way they showed you; they will just be smaller and cuter.

Try putting your hair in high pigtails first. Braid each pigtail and swirl it into a bun, then either pin it with bobby pins or use hair ties.

You can tease your hair a little and use hairspray to stiffen it. It depends on whether your hair is short or long. If it is short, put the pigtails low, only do a little twist, and wrap it around. If you have long hair, then you can go all the way up top, do long tight twists, and wrap it around!

Do half up half down that should work or you could do space buns that are low on your head.

Do the twists more loosely, tug on them a little, spray hairspray, and you're good to go!

You can try to make the space buns go as high as they can. Take a look at Ariana Grande's "7 rings" video. She has short hair and they are placed up high.

You can try using hairspray. Many people have the same problem, but the hairspray will work. If not, then try securing them with bobby pins, hair clips, etc.

If your hair is really thin, you can always tease it as shown in Creating classic space buns in step 3. Just use a comb or brush and brush upwards. This is most easily done with a comb, to avoid knots. But otherwise, thin hair isn't much of a problem.

It really wouldn’t matter too much. The hairspray just keeps your look sleek for the whole day. You will probably be fine without it.

You could make them a bit messier. Then they may appear as larger on your head because they bulk out a bit.
