What defines Space buns?
Space buns divide the hair into two knots, typically with a part visible between them. Their size and position set the width of the silhouette.
What to look for from the front, side and back
Use the front view to compare height on each side. From behind, check how the part divides the nape and how far apart the knots sit.
What to confirm with your stylist
Show the exact placement above or behind the ears. Agree on whether the buns should match closely or have a softer, looser outline.
