Hey everybody, my name is Qcknd and today I'll be showing you how I do these
double buns I've
Seen these called space buns but more or less
These are sailor moons buns or at least the buns. You see the most in the Sailor Moon universe
I've been playing around with perfecting these so I wanted to share you just my technique today
I think all of us growing up who loved Sailor Moon have tried at some point to do these buns and you may think that
You need extensions or really long hair and today I want to show you how I almost like fake them and they still look
Very real even though I have about a little bit past my shoulder length
I think that these are super
Effective and the better you get at them the stronger
they are I wore these buns to hot yoga the other night and I was able to get through the entire practice and
Fix them afterwards with no mirror. So join me today and I will walk you through
dirty hair beginning to end Sailor Moon buns
So you may have seen that I did these buns on sev last weekend when we
Transformed her hair into a chibi moon inspired
Valentine's Day hair color. So the very first thing I want to do is
Wash my hair even if you don't wash your hair very regularly in my case
My hair was dirty
but it was also frizzy on the bottom and you're going to need very smooth hair and
Wet hair to continue this process today. We will be using the shampoo and conditioner
I have been loving and that is the products from function of beauty
I wanted to thank function of beauty for sending me these products and sponsoring this video because I actually
Really enjoyed the process. So I'll share it with you quickly functional Beauty
If you may not know do you take a little quiz on their website and you answer a series of questions?
That kind of answer some of your hair goal questions for me
I made a profile on their website and my goals were to fix split ends
replenish hair soothe scalp thermal protection and volume eyes
I am currently growing out my hair and in my personal life I try to avoid
any
shampoos or conditioners from like the drugstore
especially one of the like more common brands
so when I shop with function of beauty, I know that my products are vegan and cruelty free and
color safe and sulfate free which is what I'm looking for this time around I chose a
Clear shampoo and conditioner, but you can customize it to any color you would like and any fragrance
I personally love the eucalyptus because it is invigorating but the peach smells pretty good, too
Sometimes when I'm shopping, I'm worried that if I buy just one specific
Shampoo that tackles one sort of issue then I'm like mmm. Maybe I should have got this other shampoo
So I thought this was really fun to answer the questions and kind of build the perfect shampoo from me
So thank you again functional beauty for providing these products to me today for this
glamorous

You love it after being sparkling clean and getting out of the shower with wet hair
I allowed it to air dry for the duration of applying my makeup and then afterwards I detangled
I like to detangle with these nice like low stress
brushes that don't really pull too much on your hair starting from the bottom and then working my way up and then I
Blow dried my hair if you are worried about using a round brush for the first time, I would say either
Take this step in
Small sections or you can skip it and use a curling iron
but what I did is I blow-dried my hair with a round brush the round brush is what's going to give you this like
waving
curling effect without a
Curling iron if Sailor Moon has taught us anything. It's that her hair defies gravity at all cost
There are times when she's inside and it is wispy and blowing and I'm just jealous
Has anyone ever done a cosplay of Sailor Moon like when she's sleeping like her pajamas?
Look where she has all those crazy bows in her hair all of those bows
May be
Helping her wave pattern regardless
We don't live in an anime
So I chose to round brush my hair so I could get that lasting wave
What I did is section my hair off and took small sections and use the brush to manipulate the hair
Almost like when you use scissors to curl a ribbon and then you pull the scissors away in the ribbon is curling your are
Pulling your hair and slowly
wrapping the hair down
Manipulating the brush almost to get that same pull of the ribbon
So pulling your hair and then letting it out, and then you'll see you have a nice
curl
Putting your hair in sections makes this a lot easier
I know that this step is kind of boring visually, so I section my hair into three sections
For me personally, it's much easier to do the right side than the left side, but it does take practice
This is a we go brush that I got from Ulta
many years ago if you get one loyal brush and practice with it, it makes it a lot easier so
After your hair has been
Blow-dried and beautiful I use a touch of serum
Put it in my hands
Make sure of my hands were completely covered with a product but really just a little dot of this product one little half pump
Put it through my hands and tousled my hair back and forth
This will close the bottom cuticle and allow our hair to be smooth, but it is still a light formula
So just tossing it through the hair the product on the hands working down and then up
This product was surprisingly easy to use. I love that. It says function of quiet cool
That's what I chose to customize it with. So here is the fun part
Creating the pigtails that lead to the bun. Everything's a little bit easier from now on just requires a little practice
So the first thing you need to do is part your hair and create a straight part if you don't
Naturally wear a straight part. This can be a little tough
But if you do have a straight part that just isn't perfect keep brushing your hair back and let the hair fall
So you at least have a little bit of something to work with?
I just drew a straight line back with my clip making sure to
Pull the hair separate when it hit the back of my shoulders and then clipping the other section out of the way
That way you're only working with one section at a time and you're not
Accidentally grabbing hair from either section when you're working in the back because you can't see so for your pigtails
Let's explain it
Like we're all beginners for the sake of everybody put your hair into two ponytails
and a little mistake that I make in this video is that I am
To see my mirror make sure you are looking straight on that way. You can have perfect buns that are at least
Symmetrical to your eye line or what you perceive is symmetrical
That's what I at least tell myself. Make sure your head is straight. Your shoulders are back and
Make your pigtails that way so sailor moons pigtails don't start on the side of her head
They kind of start at the top of her head where?
Cat ears or bunny ears would start so think of it more as a cat and less like Harley Quinn
Starting back here almost like you want the pigtails to shoot backwards more than you want them to shoot side-to-side
What looks good on my head or sailor moons head might look different on your head might look better on your head
so those are just guidelines but I kind of want to experiment and have them like right up here, but
another day
So once you have your pigtails what I like to do is I like to use these ponytail holders
What I like to do is grab a fresh pair
I keep a ponytail holder on my wrist at all times for better or worse photo shoot or not
And they can get kind of stretched out and mangled
You're going to have a harder time working with one of these broken ones and one fresh one
So give yourself two elastics that at least have the same elasticity
That way you're more likely to get an even pair
But if you've only got one green one and one crazy one at the house do your best
I'm like you so you may notice in this next step
I don't look at the mirror and that was because for the next up we're going to be tying a knot
I
Really like the addition of this hair oil for this step because you want your hair to be completely
smooth if it's a little frizzy it can kind of catch or if you have any hang nails it can also catch as well but
You are going to be tying your hair in a knot. Yes
So take two pieces of your hair at the base of your ponytail and kind of pull and smooth them out
So you'll be able to tie them in a knot pretty effortlessly
This is when I stop looking at the camera because I believe my muscle memory on time you're not is better
Than what I can understand visually, like I said
I was able to fix my hair at Yoga with no mirror and it was one of the best buns ever
I only needed two bobby pins, but for this part I recommend looking away or just
glancing at it
But tie your hair in a knot. It doesn't matter if the pieces are even or not
You'll be able to manipulate this bun and see what looks best on your hair if you have layers
This might be kind of tough, but I have layers and you can only really see it kind of on this side
So after you've tied your hair and a knot you will use your fingers to open the knot and create more like a fan
So you'll fan the hair out from the knot and pull the two pieces of the hair that created the knot in one direction
Keeping the fan open. You're going to want to use bobby pins to secure the fan
So it stays open and you can move around and it still stays tight
I hope you didn't. Oh bobby pin to show an example and there's just so many on the floor
I did not have to get up. So bobby pins are always going to be their strongest when they're crossed
So if you insert a bobby pin in one way if you meet it the other way and cross it this becomes
super strong
So if you can cross your bobby pins in your bun on each side and lock them into place
I think that this creates the strong is hold you can do this in the front and then you can do it in the back
playing with this and learning what looks really cute on you is
really just a matter of
Sitting in front of your mirror and playing around
For me when I was meticulously
Tying the knot looking at it in the mirror and fanning it out
I found that I was doing this almost backwards or just incorrectly
But when I don't look at the mirror and just use my muscle memory it comes out great every time
So if you mess up the first time or the hair doesn't fall together properly
Try it with your eyes closed even for me before I finished all of this up
I did stand close to a mirror that I could be face-to-face with
Just to check up on the bobby pins. Like I said, I had done my buns
Leaning this way. So there was a little bit of a lean to it, but I think that adds to it
I think it's super cute and soft and if you really get that round brush action it really
Gives you all of that airy sailormen goodness
So you've got finished up the look with a little hairspray if you have any little flyaways
for me
I think this is a really soft look that I like to not use a lot of product with because when I take my hair
out it's all wavy and curly and pretty I mean maybe like a
Little bit. I pulled this look together with some Ares statement earrings because Ares sailor moon
Right and this beautiful?
Chinese flower bracelet. I love this bracelet both pieces from ana-lucia. I'll link them below
To add a little romance
I picked this sheer floral top and
Mint skirt with of course this teddy bear jacket that I up cycled for Valentine's Day
But that is my finished look. Thank you so much for requesting this
I love making the videos that you want to see let me know. Have you tried this hair before?
Hair I really want to try is Lunas hair when she is human
But she has like this bun and then a bun underneath and I'm I don't have a lot of hair
But it could be fun. I also want to try Grimes's hair from that latest music video
