Shame. You probably have the guy friend who is just one step behind the hair-do trend. First, he waited too long to get an undercut and now he is struggling to keep that man bun tip-top. Not to worry, there is a solution, of course.
Although the man-bun is associated with a certain type of guy – and some just can’t pull it off ’cause they’re not that type of guy – some just maybe want the option of wearing one.
So, here it is: the clip on man bun, perfect for the commitment-phobic male of every type. Here’s Groupon’s explanation of the product:
One of the hottest trends in men’s fashion, the man bun has been popularized by fixed-gear bicyclists and introspective Hollywood actors alike. But although the hairstyle oozes with fashion sense, those who sport it might find themselves outcasts in sports bars, motorcycle gangs, and the annual government-mandated machismo test. This attachable—and, equally important, detachable—man bun lets you blend in with your surroundings, putting it on when you smell fair-trade coffee or hear a banjo, and taking it off when someone utters the word bro.
They’ve also included an easy-to-follow, three-step guide on how to wear the piece, which is compulsory reading if you don’t really follow the video:
1. Comb your hair back toward the crown of your head, in a similar motion to lacquering a reclaimed-wood coffee table.
2. Attach the man bun to your natural hair the way the lay public attached itself to Arcade Fire.
3. Use bobby pins to secure the man bun, decide bobby pins are too mainstream, use antique paper clips instead.
Perhaps the Photoshop series of world leaders donning a man bun made some a lil’ envious.
