1. Preparing Your Curly Hair

Before crafting your fabulous Messy Curly Space Buns, it’s crucial to prepare your curly hair. This process involves a few essential steps to ensure your buns turn out just the way you want.

Washing and Conditioning

Begin with a clean canvas – your curls! Let’s take a look at what steps need to be taken:

• Shampoo:

As a general rule, take a sulfate-free shampoo specially formulated for curls. Work this shampoo in gently focusing on the scalp only allowing the lathers to run through the hair. Make sure you rinse it properly.

• Conditioning:

Use a conditioner on the ends starting mid-length and further down generously. While the conditioner is on, allow your hair to be detangled with a wide-toothed comb. Leave it on for a couple of minutes, to give it some time to act. For added shine, rinse with cool water.

 Adding Texture

To create the best Messy Curly Space Buns, it’s essential to add some texture to your curls. Here’s how:

• Once you have washed your hair, make sure to pat it dry with a microfibre towel whilst absorbing moisture whenever possible. Avoid the urge to twist up and wring your hair as this technique can induce frizz in your hair.
• Hair curlers or curl-enhancing mousse in liquid form can also be applied to control further frizz as well as to define better when applied to wet hair.
• You can dry your locks with a towel or let them air dry naturally. Diffusing the hair allows it to dry faster while still keeping the structure intact, unlike using a hairdryer directly.

Heatless Curling Techniques

Creating messy curls without heat is a fantastic way to preserve the health of your hair. Here are a few heatless techniques:

• After your hair is mostly dry, braid it into a few sections. Leave the braids in until your hair is fully dry for lovely waves.
• Twist sections of your hair into rope-like strands and secure them with hair ties. Allow them to dry before unraveling.

These handy tools can help you achieve bouncy, heat-free curls. Just roll your hair around them and secure them. Wait for your hair to dry, then remove the rods or rollers.

2. Gathering Your Hair

Now that your curly hair is prepared and full of texture, it’s time to gather it and get ready to create those stunning Messy Curly Space Buns.

Sectioning Your Hair

To ensure your space buns turn out even and well-balanced, follow these steps for sectioning:

• Top and Bottom Sections:

Make a division of your hair into two semi-parts by separating the crown from the nape or lower sections. For a tidy part just above the ears, it is preferable to use a comb, but the fingers can be used as well.

• Secure the Bottom:

Clip or tie the bottom section out of the way. This will make it easier to work with the top section when you’re creating your buns.

 Combating Frizz

Sometimes, curly hair tends to get frizzy, which is not the desired look for Messy Curly Space Buns. But as always, there are ways to manage frizz:

• Use a Frizz Control Product:

Frizz-control serum or cream should be applied to your hair. With your fingers, work the product into the curls and emphasize which parts are frizzy the most.

• Do not touch too much:

Do not be surprised if your hair becomes frizzy the more you touch it. During the styling process, aim to minimize your handling of it.

• Try silk or satin pillowcases::

The use of silk or satin pillowcases while sleeping may also lessen frizzy ends since the hair is not exposed to cotton and rough fabrics.

3. Creating the Buns

Now that your curly hair is prepped and gathered, it’s time to dive into the exciting process of creating your Messy Curly Space Buns.

Space Bun Placement

Choosing the right placement for your space buns is essential for a balanced and stylish look:

• High or Low:

Decide whether you want your space buns high on your head, closer to your crown, or lower down near your ears. This choice affects the overall style and shape.

• Even Placement:

Ensure that both buns are placed symmetrically on either side of your head. You can use a mirror to help maintain evenness.

Wisting and Wrapping Technique

This is the creative heart of crafting Messy Curly Space Buns:

• Unclip the top section, and divide it into two equal parts for your buns.
• Take one of the divided sections and twist it tightly. The tighter you twist, the neater the bun will be.
• After twisting, start wrapping the twisted section around itself. Keep wrapping until you’ve formed a bun shape. Tuck the ends under the bun.
• Use bobby pins or hair ties to secure the bun in place.

Securing the Buns

The final step to creating your Messy Curly Space Buns:

• Insert bobby pins into the bun to ensure it stays in place. You may need several pins to secure it.
• Alternatively, you can use hair ties to secure the buns.
• Take a look in the mirror and adjust the buns for symmetry. You can loosen some curls for a messier look, or tighten them for a neater appearance.

4. Messing It Up

The charm of Messy Curly Space Buns lies in their relaxed and carefree appearance. To achieve that effortlessly chic look, you can employ these techniques to add a touch of messiness and flair to your buns:

 Teasing for Volume

• Gently tease the hair at the base of each bun. This creates volume and a fuller appearance.
• Use a comb or a teasing brush to gently lift and tease the roots. Remember not to overdo it; you want a messy look, not a tangled one.

 Loosening Strands

• Carefully pull out a few individual curls or strands from each bun. This step adds to the messy effect and gives your space buns a relaxed appearance.
• Feel free to pull out strands of varying lengths to create a natural and dynamic look.

 Adding a Texturizing Product

• Applying some dry shampoo or texturizing spray can help in giving your buns a more matte and textured finish. All you need to do is, spritz & scrunch and they get some more character.
• Using a tiny bit of hair wax or pomade can also help with the shaping and molding process of the buns while keeping the messiness intact.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Sometimes, even with the best efforts, you might encounter a few hiccups with your Messy Curly Space Buns. Here’s how to address two common issues:

 Bun Slippage

If you find your buns slipping or not staying in place:

• Use more bobby pins or hair ties to secure the buns firmly. Make sure they’re tight but not uncomfortable.
• Apply a texturizing product to your hair before creating the buns. This can give your hair more grip and help the buns stay in place.
• Lightly spritz your buns with hairspray after creating them. This can help them hold their shape better.

 Dealing with Stubborn Frizz

For taming frizz, especially in humid conditions:

• Apply a frizz-fighting serum or a few drops of hair oil to the frizzy areas. Gently smooth down the frizz with your hands.
• Mix water and a small amount of conditioner in a spray bottle. Spritz this on the frizzy parts and scrunch gently to redefine your curls.
• If a few curls are misbehaving, you can disguise them with a stylish silk scarf or headband.
