8. The Y2K Space Buns
Playful, retro, and unexpectedly versatile, space buns have made a major comeback. They are fast to set up and add an instant punch of energy to simple casual outfits.
How to Style It:
- Use a tail comb to divide your hair straight down the middle from your forehead to the nape of your neck.
- Gather one side into a high pigtail near the crown and secure with an elastic; repeat on the other side.
- Twist one pigtail tightly around its base until it forms a compact bun, pinning it down with bobby pins.
- Repeat on the second side, adjusting both buns to ensure they sit symmetrically.
- Pull out thin, face-framing tendrils near your temples for a softer finish.
Best For: Casual street style, festivals, and fun creative environments.
