New Super Easy Way To Make Space Buns - No Bobby Pins!
Today we are sharing a fun and easy new tutorial for making space buns. We love that this method requires no bobby pins!
This hairstyle is great for all ages and could be used for many occasions. We love that these double buns are popular and stylish for teens right now. So fun! And if you aren't super excited about the pigtail look, you could still use this method to create one bun in a half up style for a toned down variation.
Easy Space Buns Video Tutorial: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
You may have noticed in our video (above) we used a "topsy tail" to create this style. This isn't absolutely necessary, but makes it much easier to pull the loops through the elastic. These tools can be found on Amazon (affiliate.)
This hairstyle will work for medium length, long hair, and even fairly short hair. If your hair is on the shorter side, we would recommend taking more sections, and only looping them one time each through the elastic.
With Halloween right around the corner, we were thinking these buns could even be used for several different Halloween costumes: Bears, mice, Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse, dogs, (basically any animals with ears!) You could also use them for rocker chick costumes, barbie, monster high, cheerleaders, fairies, etc, etc.
As mentioned in our tutorial, you can choose to make more of a loose, messy bun type of look, or keep the buns neater for a tight, sleek, coiled bun. It is up to you!
3 More Cute Half Up Bun Hairstyle Tutorials
Today we are sharing 3 of our favorite half up bun or top knot hairstyles. Add 4 more cute half ups from last week, and you have an entire week of styles!
These particular 3 styles are some of my daughter's favorites at the moment. We love that these braids are intricate looking, yet still fairly simple to create. Half up bun styles in general are very popular and trending right now and there are so many variations that you could do! We actually have a huge running list of half ups that we love and wear regularly. We may have to make a part 3 of this series at some point.
3 Favorite Half Top Knot Hairstyles, Video Tutorial: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
Half up bun hairstyle variations included in this video:
1. Crossed dutch braid cornrows
2. Topsy tail flipped ponytails
3. Triple feather braid
Of course, these styles can be finished with any type of bun you would like. We choose to do a stretched out braided bun, similar to a rosette or flower braid for all 3 hairstyles. You could also make a messy bun, twisted bun, sock bun, etc. if you prefer.
These hairstyles would be great for both casual and more formal occasions. And since we are only using the top section of hair, these styles should work for fairly short hair as well as long. Yay!
Supplies needed to recreate these hairstyles:
- Medium or small clear hair elastics
- Bobby Pins
- Topsy tail (affiliate) for hairstyle #2
- Finishing hairspray or gel

Hairstyles For Sports, Woven Twist Headband
Today we are recreating a fun hairstyle from our website which we initially posted way back in 2010. You can click over to see our original "pictorial" and check out "the princess's" short hair if you are curious!
She has worn this woven headband many times over the years and especially loves it for sports. This hairstyle is great for soccer / football, gymnastics, dance, figure skating, ballet, tumbling, swimming, running, basketball, volleyball, cheerleading, etc. Elastic styles (such as this) really help to keep your hair out of your face while exercising and hold up well, even with a lot of activity. We love the unique woven accents in this headband, which make this hairstyle pretty and interesting to look at, as well as functional.
Woven Twist Headband Video Tutorial: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
There are several different options for finishing this style. You could create the woven headband and leave the rest of her hair down (curled or straight.) Or you could add a ponytail, bun, braid, pigtails, etc. with the remaining hair. (We have included a few example pictures below.) Also, if you would rather braid the individual strands in the headband before you weave them, you can do that instead of simply twisting the hair like we did.
Top view of the headband with a ponytail....
Again, styled with a ponytail. This is her favorite way to wear this hairstyle for soccer.
And, with a messy bun....
This headband could also be worn as a cute transitioning hairstyle for those of you who are in the process of growing out your bangs. We know what a painful process that can be. ;) And although "the princess" has long hair at the moment, this will work with fairly short hair as well. When we first created this style, her hair was just above shoulder length and it worked just great!
Supplies needed to recreate this look:
- Small hair elastics (8-15 depending on how you make the headband.) The brand we usually use is called Goody Ouchless.
- Water, gel, or pomade to help control flyaways.
- A "rat tail comb" is helpful for parting out the hair into boxes, but not absolutely necessary.
Candy Stripe Waterfall Braid Tutorial
A cute and easy waterfall braid!
If you have been following our hairstyle blog or YouTube channel for awhile, you may remember seeing several styles utilizing what we like to call a "candy stripe braid" (which involves simply wrapping ribbon around a strand of hair.) Fairly recently, we decided to try and combine our candy stripe braid with a waterfall braid and the "candy stripe waterfall braid" was born! We love how this end result turned out.
A few more fun styles using the "candy stripe" method are linked below:
Snowflake Ponytail
Ribbon Shamrock Hairstyle
Candy Stripe Woven Pigtails
Of course, there are many different hairstyles that can be created using this fun new braid. As an example, we have included a picture (above) of the candy stripe waterfall with an added lace french braid underneath. I could also see this braid being used to accent many updos and braided combination hairstyles. The possibilities are truly endless.
If you have trouble with waterfall braids, or braiding in general, this hairstyle is actually very doable... as there really is no intricate "braiding" involved. If you can form a simple twist, you should be able to master this in no time. Also, this hairstyle should work with fairly short hair, medium hair, and long hair. Yay!
As mentioned in our video tutorial (below) we have also shown a different waterfall braid using ribbon previously on our blog called the "waterfall ribbon twist." This candy stripe waterfall actually ends up looking quite different from the waterfall ribbon twist, even though the concept is similar. This braid also tends to hold up better for more active days and isn't so fragile, which is always nice.
Supplies needed to recreate this braid:
- A piece of ribbon, yarn, lace, string, etc. The ribbon we used is 1/4 inch thick and approximately 2 feet long.
- 2 small elastics (one for the top of the braid, and one for the bottom.
- Hairspray, pomade, or gel (optional)

Candy Corn Hairstyle For Fall
An "Elastic Web" Hairstyle Inspired By Candy Corn! Cute Hair Style For Halloween, Thanksgiving, & Fall In General.
This hairstyle is great because it works with short hair, thin hair, thick hair, medium hair, and of course, long hair. Pretty much any hair texture or length (and as you can see, even toddler hair.) This is also a very easy hairstyle to complete with no braiding skills required!
When we first did this style on the princess, we left her hair down and added some curls. This time (on the pea) we chose to pull the rest of her hair into a side ponytail with a messy bun. I love the look of the "candy corn" laying on the side of her head, but if you prefer, you could definitely start the first row along the front (bringing the design straight back to the middle of her head.)
Supplies Needed:
Quite a few miniature, mulit-colored rubber bands (the amount will depend on how many rows of elastics you choose to make.) We purchased ours at Walmart and the brand we prefer is "Goody Ouchless." We used orange and yellow bands this time. Of course, you could add in white or brown as well if you want, as candy corns come in several different varieties. ;)
Candy Corn Hairstyle Video Tutorial:
(Be sure to watch the end of this video for a fun clip of "The Pea!"
I realize that many of our Halloween hair ideas are fun, but might be considered rather obnoxious for certain occasions (for example the spider bun!) But, I think this candy corn style is subtle enough that it could look nice even for church or school. Most people would probably not even realize it is supposed to be a candy corn and just think it is a cute hairstyle!
Cute Hairstyles, Shoelace Knot Bun And Pigtails
2 cute and easy hairstyles for gymnastics, sports, dance, etc.
For short hair, as well as long!
For short hair, as well as long!
The first option (with a shoelace knot in the back and bun on top) would be a pretty hairstyle for sports, dance, swimming, gymnastics, figure skating, or school. The elastics help to hold the hair in place, so it's less likely to fall out of the ponytail (as shorter hair tends to do sometimes.) This is also more of a grown up look compared to the pigtail variation below. And even though my darling 2yr old niece is modeling this hair style... I think it would be cute on older girls as well as toddlers!
P.S. The bun we used in this style was created using the technique shown at the following link: Messy Bun For Short Hair
There are many variations that can be done using these knots. If you want to leave the hair mostly down, you could make the 4 little ponytails on top with the knot in the center and leave the rest of the hair as it is. (Which is basically what you can see from our picture above.) Or, you could put the rest of her hair into a ponytail, pigtails, or bun. As you will see in our video, we actually made a knot at the top of her head and at the back of her head before bringing the remaining hair into pigtails. If the hair you are working with is long enough, you could made a series of knots all the way down her head if you want to!
