Man Buns

The New York Times had an article today about man buns: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/26/fashion/in-brooklyn-committing-to-a-man-bun.html They give advice for men who want to try this hairstyle: Alexander Kellum, 31, a fine-arts painter and yoga teacher who lives in Williamsburg, bends forward and pulls his long chestnut hair in front of him; then he performs a twisting and wrapping motion until his hair is firmly tucked into a knot at the back of his head. Sometimes he’ll let a little hair poke out for an “abstract expressionist” flourish, he said. A rubber band, a hair band or even a piece of string holds his bun in place.

Olivier Theyskens, Orlando Bloom, Brandon Sun, Heath Ledger, Gavin Rossdale, Russell Brand, and others have been wearing their long hair up in buns for the past few years. Lately more guys have been sporting this trend. If a guy has long hair and wants to get it out of his face, a bun looks better than any kind of ponytail. 

It’s also becoming popular among athletes, such as tennis players Alexandr Dolgopolov and Xavier Malisse.

Ladies, do you like this look on guys? And guys, would you try this look?
