How To Do Space Buns With Bobby Pins
Step #1: Part Your Hair
First, start by brushing your hair to ensure it’s free of any knots or tangles. Divide your hair into two equal portions by making a center part. Make sure that your parting is as straight as it can be on either side with the same volume of hair since it can make or ruin the whole space bun look.
Step #2: Create 2 Ponytails
Put your hair in 2 ponytails, and secure them with a thin knot of hair. Do not forget to leave some hair around your face, since this will give you a more face-flattering finish.
