Steps to nail the ideal man bun
- Start with clean hair: Wash your hair with a mild shampoo and conditioner because clean hair is easy to manage and style.
- Choose the right length: If your hair length is 6 to 8 inches in length, you can easily rock a man bun. But, if your hair is shorter yet, consider growing it. Visit the barbershop for regular trims to keep it healthy during the growth process.
- Gather your hair: With your hands gather your hair into a ponytail. Depending on the style you want, position it high, mid-level or low on your head.
- Secure with a hair tie: Once you have got your hair in the right spot, grab a hair tie and wrap it around your hair a few times to make a ponytail. Make sure it feels snug but not too tight that it hurts!
- Create the bun: Twist the ponytail around itself, kind of like wringing wet cloth but gently. Coil it up at the base of your head to create a bun. Secure it with hairpins or another hair tie to keep it all in place.
- Tweak & style: With your fingers adjust the bun to achieve a sleek or messy look. Apply mousse or cream for that extra hold.
Tips to maintain your man bun
- Regular trims: Split ends make your hair unhealthy, so regular trimming is essential.
- Use quality products: want a killer man bun? Start with healthy hair! Use good shampoo, conditioner and styling stuff that works for your hair type.
