What about man braids? I have long silky black hair _twirls head_ _que waterfall sounds and harp being strummed_ and I often double loop my ponytail to make it appear shorter. It’s not a bun but a ponytail that’s been looped again… Hard to explain without seeing it. Can we post pics? Sent from my C6916 using Tapatalk ---

Yep, you must loop that hair…I say go for it! (Now I see doves fluttering to a bright blue sky) ---

> [@Wesley\_Clark](#): > > In 30 years man buns and full beards will be viewed the way we currently view the mullet. I think we should offer pardon and amnesty to past mullet wearers (myself being one). At the time, it was the standard for Hollywood/Music Industry cool guy fashion. MacGuyver, Rambo, Mick Jagger. Opting out was risking ostracization (go away spellcheck, I insist it’s a word). My track record for future-state coolness hasn’t been good: Eight-is-Enough bowl cut David Cassidy dual-feather MacGuyver mullet Corey Haim permed flip-bangs ---

> [@actualliberalnotoneofthose](#): > > Don’t understand what a beard has to do with man buns, but OK. Normal men have been wearing beards my entire lifetime and much longer without any significant break that I can see. They just weren’t a fashion trend. If anything, anything less than a “full” beard is what is considered trendy or dated. A full beard is now a trend. I am waiting impatiently for it to be over. ---

Remember ‘Hair’ the musical. What was that fun romp really about? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/man-buns-look-stupid/797046.md?page=4)
