Are you ready to ditch boring hair for a bold and unique style? Let's start with this messy space bun tutorial!

Step 1: Prep Your Hair

Great hairstyles begin with preparation. Messy space buns are best done when your hair is dry or slightly dirty, making it easier to manipulate. Use a texturizing spray or shampoo to help give your hair grip and volume. These products make your hair easier to work with and create the texture needed in the buns. Fine hair would help with the volumizing mousse or sea salt spray added to add some body and lift.

Step 2: Part Your Hair

A neat, even center part is necessary for symmetrical space buns. Use a comb to divide your hair into the middle, ensuring both sections are equal. This clean part helps create uniform buns and ensures your hairstyle looks balanced and polished.

Step 3: Create Two Ponytails

Divide your hair into two sections and pull both into high ponytails. For a subtle finish, use small elastic hair ties that are the same color as your hair to hold the ponytails in place. Where you put the ponytails depends on how bold you want the buns to be-they should be at the crown of your head or slightly higher.

Step 4: Tease the Ponytails

Teasing the ponytails is crucial to achieving the messy space buns' full, voluminous look. Use a comb or brush to backcomb the hair in each ponytail, focusing on the roots. This adds texture and gives the buns a fuller, more dramatic appearance.

Step 5: Form the Buns

Now, it is time to set the buns! 

Twist each teased ponytail around itself to form a bun shape. Wrap the ponytail and secure the messy bun with bobby pins, ensuring they are tight enough to hold but loose enough to move if needed. This allows for large, bold buns or smaller, subtle ones, all up to you.

Step 6: Loosen the Buns

Messy space buns are rather charming, though, and it is really in this relaxed, effortless vibe. Gently pull on each side of each bun so that they lose and seem more full and less fussed over. You can also just pull at the front of the buns to pull them out to get even more mess.

Step 7: Frame Your Face

Pull out a few strands of hair around the forehead or temples to give the look a softened version. This will add a whimsical, organic feel to the style. For a more sleek appearance, lightly curl the loose hair for an elegant feel.

Step 8: Secure with Hairspray

Lightly mist your messy buns with a flexible hair spray to keep them intact all day long. Misting your hair can locks the style without making it stiff, keeping your buns looking as fresh and lived-in at night as they did that morning.

Step 9: Add Accessories (Optional)

Decorative pins, bedazzled clips, scrunchies, and ribbons can further level up your messy space bun with fun access for festivities or special occasions. So, accessorize with bold or something dandruffed; it's perfect for such places.

Step 10: Final Check

Before stepping out, check quickly to ensure everything is in place. Use bobby pins to secure any stray strands or fix uneven buns. This final step ensures your space buns look intentionally messy and balanced for the perfect finishing touch.

Maintenance and Care for Messy Space Bun

Frequent styling can take a toll on your hair, so it’s important to prioritize your hair care routine. Here are some tips to take care of your messy hair bun:

• For that silky softness and gentle texture, it needs gentle sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner and avoiding too much washing to keep its lifespan.
• Use a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush to remove knots. Work gently from the bottom up, and do not cause breakage.
• Minimize the use of heat-styling tools on hairs. If heat is necessary, apply a heat protectant spray and use the lowest setting possible.
• Avoid heavy styling creams or oils, as they can weigh the hair and give it a greasy appearance. Instead, use lightweight products such as flexible hair spray.
