The ‘90s have been mounting a serious comeback, and we’re soaking up every second of it. The ‘90s aesthetic is still running strong in the surfacing trend you’re seeing today, but not every retro beauty trend has come back quite as strong as the space buns hairstyle. The Princess Leia-inspired hairdo has had quite the revival with celebs and fashion girls alike sporting the double knot with style.

But as this trend has been back with fervour, we are seeing different versions of the hairstyle hitting our social media feeds. Half-up half-down, braided, curled details make the style extra cool, trendy, and wearable. When you make it your own, it gives the nostalgic style a refreshing upgrade, making it perf for 2022.
