Okay, so many of you asked for more details on my space buns with braids, especially after seeing my last post! I absolutely love this style because it's not just super cute, but also a fantastic protective style for my black hair. If you're like me and always looking for ways to keep your hair healthy while looking stylish, then this is definitely one to try. I've gotten so many compliments, and honestly, it's become my go-to when I want something chic and easy. Let's talk about getting those perfect space buns with braids. First, I always start with freshly washed and deep-conditioned hair. Hydration is key! I section my hair down the middle, then create two smaller sections at the front on each side for the braids. For the braids, I usually go for a simple three-strand braid or even a cornrow that feeds into the bun. This is where you can get creative! Sometimes I do two small braids per bun, or one larger one. It really depends on the look I'm going for that day. Now, for the "back of your hair" inspiration that so many of you requested! Getting the back to look just as good as the front is crucial. After braiding the front sections, I gather the rest of the hair into a high ponytail on each side (where I want my buns to sit). I make sure these ponytails are neat and symmetrical. Then, I twist the ponytail into a bun, securing it with a hair tie and a few pins. The braids from the front can either be incorporated into the bun or wrapped around its base for an extra touch. The key is to use a mirror or even a phone camera to check the back view and ensure everything is smooth and even. Nobody wants a messy back! Another tip: don't be afraid to experiment with different braid styles. Sometimes I'll do small bantu knots on a section of my hair before unraveling them and incorporating the waves into my braids for added texture. It gives a really unique look! For hold, I swear by a good edge control for those baby hairs and a light-hold spray to keep flyaways at bay. This style can last me for days, especially if I tie it down with a silk scarf at night. I hope this gives you all the inspiration you needed to try out space buns with braids on your beautiful black hair! It's such a versatile style that allows for so much creativity while keeping your hair protected. Give it a try and let me know how it goes!
