Step-By-Step How To Do Space Buns On Very Thin Hair || For Beginners

Hello, everybody, my name is sarah, and today i wanted to show you guys how to do those really really really cute space buns on your hair. So i did some research and i kind of compiled what i learned from a whole bunch of videos to come up with a way to do it for people with very thin hair like myself and longer hair. Just so y'all know what i'm talking about. Let me take my hair out, so you can see it's gross right now. One of the reasons that i love this hairstyle so much is because i can make my hair look super cute whenever it's greasy and gross and challenging and just nasty, and i can make my hair look really adorable. So let me just show you what i'm what i'm talking about. So my hair is super greasy, i'm sure yeah i mean i don't even really have to try to show you how nasty it is right. Now it's greasy it's gross. I don't like to wash my hair more than like once every three or four days, because that's how i've got my hair to grow past my shoulders, it would never grow further than about. Maybe there i found um pros, which i love pros, but anyways, so just to show you guys exactly how thin my hair is. I have all it gathered right here now, i'm going to put my fingers around it. You can see exactly where my thumb is on. My finger: can you see that i'm not i'm not going to move my fingers at all? Look at it. Look i'm not moving my fingers at all. I mean that's all of my hair. I'Ve seen so many tutorials on instagram and on youtube, and all these women have just super thick, beautiful, lustrous, disney princess hair, and i i don't have that at all. So if you suffer from like really nasty like cowlicks and stuff and just thin greasy hair, this hairstyle is awesome. So, let's get into the tutorial actually before i do that real quick, i'm just going to show you the tools that you're going to need. You are going to need a hairbrush, you need something to part it down the middle and to pull the fronts out and then you're gon na need two elastics. I use these ones because my hair is so thin and it won't rip my hair out whenever i take it out, but you can totally still do this with normal elastics. You are also going to need some bobby pins. I have, i think, eight, no six, i'm gon na try and do this with three on each side. Then this is optional, but a hair clip to pull the other side um away. So you can work on the one. So let me switch the camera angle around and show you guys how to do this real, quick. I need to remember to kind of lean forward, because i want you guys to be able to see like the back what i'm doing and also see the front. I have my laptop over here trying to make sure that this works. I'Ve never really done a tutorial like this before, but hopefully this will. This will be good, okay, so first just brush through your hair - and this is just it's so so so cute and it's something you can do and you don't have to wash your hair and you can continue to let your hair get greasy because that's what helps It grow, i know it's gross, but i i really don't care so brush your hair straight back, all the way down, get it all back there and then you're gon na take your um. That sounds dangerous. That'S not what it's called. I can't think of what it's called, but by the way just to preface this i'm not a cosmetologist. I am not a hair stylist. I don't know about anything, so this is just me macgyvering it a little bit. So i go back and as i'm i'm going down, i kind of pull it over if that made sense like as as i go down, i pull it over on one side to get all the hair over and then i can just flip all this hair over. You might have to do it a few times, so i go like once. It gets to the point where you can't see what you're doing anymore just try to feel with your skull, where it's going down and kind of just pull that hair over and then, when you get down to the bottom, use this and flip it over. I hope that makes sense. So now, let's see how how well of a job i did man, my hair is so greasy i mean you can just like really see how greasy it is back there. Once i put it up, you won't be able to tell at all so i love it. Get it as close to centered as you can and then pull it all up in the front, so you kind of got some sheer hair going. You know i just twist this and then put the clip around it. That way, it just keeps it over here man. I feel like i could really be showing all this from closer up now that y'all have seen um what i did in the back. It it'll make more sense um to show you from the front - and this is you know what i think it's the light. Oh over here: okay, let's: let's try and let's try that. Okay, that's that's a lot better! I know that this angle is funky, but this is the. This is just what i have to work with right now until i get some better equipment. So what you want to do with the part? That'S not in the clip grab, your hairbrush start brushing it from underneath start, brushing it from the front underneath from the front and then, while i'm holding it up here, that's when i come through and decide where i want my um front pieces of hair to start So it's usually like like about right there, and then i move it down the frame of my face and right now, i'm just like really gently holding on to this, so that the hair can fall out and it started to pull the rest of it down. But now i can just come back and brush it up, i'm actually going to make it a little bit further back, but yeah just keep pulling out the front until you feel comfortable with it. So let's wrap it around. Oh yeah! This is the elastic by the way, and then you wrap the elastic around when you get to that last poll, you're gon na hold the hair and then pull it through until there's like a little bit of of this hanging out, you know i wish the lighting Was a little bit better figured my wow yeah! That'S a lot better! I wish i would have turned that on to start with duh. Okay. Well, i just learned something so now that you can actually see what i'm doing. This will be better for this side. So i get started i like to do this. I like to do the other side. Next yeah, i'm gon na, do the i'm gon na i'm just i'm gon na go ahead and do the side next so unclip. It start brushing it up underneath in the front underneath and getting the the final brush in at the very front, is kind of like a pain in the ass, as you just saw all right, and now i'm going to kind of loosen up my grip a bit And pull some hair down now grab your other elastic. I don't even know if these are called elastics, um coily thing that doesn't um rip your hair out whenever you pull it out. I think i'll make this the last one, so we're gon na leave just a little bit and then yeah they look pretty even all right. Just so you know, space buttons are not supposed to look symmetrical whenever you're putting them up in this part. Yeah you want them to look symmetrical first thing i like to do is, and this is kind of just where creativity needs to come in, because you kind of just randomly grab pieces of hair. I like to grab this little extra piece of hair and then like loop up some hair like that, maybe and then kind of loop, this one around and tuck it in under there i mean this part is just where you got to just kind of be creative And then bobby pin that into place. Another reason that i really like those um the coily elastics is because it's really easy to put bobby pins through them. So i'm just making this up as i go. Every single time is different and it's going to look different. Every single time you do it, okay, so there's a lot of loops going in there. It does look kind of big still. I might um add one more at the end, we'll just see so next, i'm going to come over here and i do the same thing where i kind of grab that excess hair kind of painfully obvious that i'm not a hair stylist and sometimes it's not gon Na work and you're gon na have to like do it again that last one may have been a stupid move, but let's just see if i can remedy that. Okay, that one is that one's bad, i'm gon na i'm gon na redo this this side. Now the real test is seeing what this looks like from behind. So let's see how the back turned out. Let me um look at my laptop, so i can see how the back turned out i'll see. Yeah, that's cute. I, like it um if you want them to be smaller because sometimes like they people just want them to be smaller, then just add some more bobby pins. This side looks almost like ribbony, it's it's pretty, but i'm going to try and put this all in slow motion and make it look professional. It'S not going to, though just so you know, but but anyways.
