15. The Double Mini Space Buns

What This Idea Means

Space buns are cheerful and fun. On short hair, mini space buns sit high on the crown, utilizing top layers while letting short back strands rest or be pinned neatly up.

How To Make It

  1. Part hair cleanly down the middle from forehead to crown.
  2. Gather upper half section of left side into a high pigtail and tie with an elastic.
  3. Gather upper half section of right side to match identically.
  4. Twist each pigtail tail tightly around its base to form a small bun circle, securing with a second elastic and bobby pins.
  5. If back hair falls short, use decorative snap clips to pin short nape hair flat upward.

Tips & Variations

  • Glitter Center Part: Paint a line of hair glitter along the center part between space buns.
  • Ribbon Wraps: Wrap small satin bows around the base of each mini bun.
