A LOVE NOTE to embracing
natural hair textures, space buns are back — just ask Lizzo, Yara Shahidi or Tracee Ellis Ross. Online searches for “space buns natural hair” have skyrocketed over the past year. “The Black power movement has made it more popular,” says Toronto-based celebrity hairstylist Justin German. “People are growing out and embracing their natural hair.” If you want to achieve the look at home, it’s pretty simple — all you need are some hair elastics (and maybe bobby pins) and a few key products. Start by applying a leave-in conditioner. Next, split your hair down the centre, creating two sections, and use a gel to smooth hair into pig tails, says German. Then just wrap each pigtail into a bun or round afro puff. “You want to leave your natural texture showing,” he adds. If you want to add extra volume, use a clipin puff under your hair. — Lora Grady
