      • ...my hair is pretty annoying

        keep meaning to get it cut to keep it out of my face but it'd be much easier to get a topknot

  • I can do this

    but I can't imagine any reason why I would want to.

  • Looks good on oriental folk. Not so much on others.

    My best mate's got one at the moment. Amazing how it polarises people. Some girls love it, others just straight up take the piss out of him. Seems to work on the type he goes for (nose/lip piercings, tattoos, usually wearing beanies, etc.), which is pretty much why he's got it.

  • some excellent comments and advice here

    “It’s almost as if dudes think, ‘Imagine what it’s like if I’m with my lady and I take it down’ — like it’s sexy,” says Nicholas Armas, a barber at Williamsburg salon Persons of Interest. “That’s what people contemplating the man bun must think.”

    • i'm normally vehemently opposed to the practice of putting 'man' in front of other words

      but man bun has a certain poetic beauty about it

      • man child (look at the state you're in) is another good one

  • It's always reminded me of the kind of guy who lives in a squat for a few years,

    while spending his parents' money on running club nights in Hackney.

          • Outside of male models,

            I don't think I've seen anyone sporting one with a suit, although if it's crossed over into fashion shoots and the cast of MiC, perhaps that will happen more.

  • I think i've got a back-knot

    its like just tying my hair up but not a pony tail.

    Think it looks pretty good tbh, but I do have good hair.

    yes_ | 12 May '14, 15:25 | X
    • back-knot really sounds lie a back-hair bun

      ew ew ew

      fidel_catstro @yes_ | 12 May '14, 16:01 | X
  • did it when I had long hair

    Don't now. Don't see the issue tbh

    the_ravens | 12 May '14, 19:59 | X
  • I don't really like them, but do what you want I suppose.

    They're so much worse when coupled with an undercut.

    walks005 | 12 May '14, 22:18 | X
  • Like a noncommittal version of these, yeah?
