If you have short hair and are wondering how to style it when it’s not freshly washed, the space buns hairstyle is one of my favorite go-tos! It’s super quick and looks stylish without much effort. One thing I’ve learned is that starting with a bit of dry shampoo helps add grip and volume, which keeps the buns from slipping out, especially on dirty hair. I personally love using Bed Head's dry shampoo because it refreshes my hair while giving it enough texture to hold the style. Crimping your hair before making buns can really enhance the texture and fullness. I use a versatile hair crimper with multiple heat settings so I can adjust according to how tight or loose I want my curls to be. It’s great for short hair because it adds body but doesn’t cause damage when you use a heat protectant spray beforehand; I recommend using Heritage’s heat protectant spray, which keeps my hair healthy. After styling, I always apply a little leave-in conditioner or bonding oil, like Olaplex No.7, focusing on the ends to keep my hair nourished and shiny. It’s essential to maintain hair health even when doing quick, casual styles. Combining these simple steps—dry shampoo, crimping, and using quality hair care products—makes a huge difference in how your space buns hold and look throughout the day. Whether you’re headed to work or a casual hangout, this easy tutorial keeps you looking polished and effortlessly chic with short, dirty hair.
