2. Customizing for Your Face Shape & Hair Texture
Welcome to Part 2 of my salon guide on Space Buns.
Every head of hair has its own density, cowlicks, and wave pattern.
Here is how I adjust the proportions behind the chair.

Matching Layers & Tones to Your Features
To customize the space buns for different face shapes, try adjusting the height and placement of the buns.
For example, if you have a heart-shaped face, you may want to place the buns slightly higher on the head to balance out the features.
For oval faces, you can experiment with placing the buns at varying angles to create a more dynamic look.
For different hair textures, try using a texturizing spray or dry shampoo to add volume and texture to the hair.
This will help the space buns hold their shape and add a more undone, effortless look.
Take a moment to review the proportions, textures, and timing notes on this page so each step adapts effortlessly to your own routine.
✂️ Face-Shape & Density Quick Match
- Fine-to-Medium Strands: Keep perimeter weight blunt and add micro-ribbons around the face for visual fullness.
- Thick or Wavy Hair: Use internal slide-cutting to release weight so waves stack without triangle bulk.
- Warm vs. Cool Skin Undertones: Pair golden-olive skin with honey, caramel, or espresso glosses; pair cool undertones with champagne, ash, or mocha ribbons.
