9. Low Space Buns With a Bandana Headband
Low space buns are playful, secure, and surprisingly backpack-friendly when positioned correctly. They divide the hair evenly and keep the ends completely tucked away.
Create a center part and form two low ponytails. Twist each ponytail into a compact bun behind the ears or near the nape. Secure them with elastics or pins. Finish with a folded bandana worn across the hairline.
Who It Suits Best
This hairstyle is suitable for medium to long hair. It is particularly effective for thick hair that feels heavy in a single bun or ponytail.
Styling Tips
- Place the buns away from backpack shoulder straps.
- Keep them small and compact for better stability.
- Use U-shaped pins to secure thick hair.
- Avoid large decorative clips that could press into the scalp.
- Add a little texture spray before styling fine hair.
Benefits
- Keeps the ends protected
- Distributes hair weight evenly
- Prevents hair from sticking to the neck
- Remains secure in windy conditions
- Adds a fun, adventurous feel
Low space buns can also work for festival hikes, camping weekends, outdoor gatherings, and travel photography.
