If you think that high bun hairstyles only extend to topknots and messy buns, think again. Space buns (also known as high-puff hairstyles) have become one of the most popular hair trends. We aren't surprised as they are undeniably versatile. Whether you prefer a voluminous Boho-chic vibe or edgy and sleek is more your thing, space buns can take on multiple aesthetics. While we usually think of space buns as that go-to festival hairstyle, we're seeing celebrities and influencers adopt the hairstyle and make it their own for any occasion.
From different hair lengths to hair textures, anyone can (and should) do a space bun hairstyle. Ahead, we gathered 15 space bun hairstyles that will prove why this look will reign supreme in the high bun hairstyle universe.
Space Buns and Swirly Edges
Space buns match perfectly with styled edges. With all of the hair off your face, the swoops and swirls of perfectly laid baby hairs can be showcased and instantly transform your look.
Low Space Buns
This effortless look is both fun and classy. To replicate, part your hair into four sections. Take the two sections closer to the back of your head and coil each into a bun. Then, take the two remaining sections closer to your face and twist them around the base of the buns you just made. Secure with a bobby pin and you're good for summer.

Traditional Meets Half-Up Half-Down
Space buns on curly hair textures look amazing because of the natural volume. Try this half-up half-down hairstyle, which mimics the traditional two-bun look but also gives you a chance to show off your hair texture and length.
Slicked Space Buns
On the days you want to get your hair up and out of your face or wake up with major bedhead, try slicked space buns. Part your hair down the middle, and then gather each side into a high sleek pigtail. Once you're done, wrap the ends of your pigtail into a bun for a look that's as bomb as Lizzo's.
Accessorized Space Buns
Take inspiration from Janelle Monae and accessorize your space buns with some fun hair clips (ahem, butterfly clips are back) or a dainty headband.
Scrunchy Space Buns
Another easy way to dress up your space buns is with giant scrunchies. The scrunchy is a '90s trend that unsurprisingly made its way back into the limelight. So if you're into it, wrap each of your space buns in a satin scrunchy to accessorize your look.
Fanned-Out Space Buns
Doing space buns on short hair can be tricky because the ends tend to stick out. However, celebrity hairstylist Emma Willis, shows us an easy way to make those frayed ends work. The trick is to wrap the loose ends of your hair around your scrunchy and leave the rest poking out. The results are an adorable, Boho-chic space bun look.

Two-Toned Space Buns
