When I first saw the half-up bun hairstyle on a girl out of California, I thought it looked ridiculous. It made me think of those dreadful middle school days for some reason. My mind quickly changed when I put on an outfit one morning and tried that hairstyle simply because it went with the “look.” Ever since then, I’ve loved the half-up bun and wear it all the time. Now it’s gotten even better! Guys are wearing it too. It’s also known as the “man bun.”
More guys are growing out their hair, and the man bun is a convenient yet stylish way to pull their hair up and get it off their neck. Those who have long enough hair pull it all the way up and others, who are growing it out, pull off the half-up man bun. This Fashionisto is a prime example. He’s currently in the process of growing his luscious locks out, but has just enough to rock that half-up “man bun.” The man bun has been seen on guys wearing anything from suits to a more laid-back look seen on this Fashionisto. He’s wearing board shorts with a simple white V-neck and Vans. The “man bun” adds that extra element to his look.
What’s on the BEAUTY BAR: To complete this look, you need long locks, a ponytail holder or a clear elastic. Hairspray or gel may be helpful to hold it all together, as well. Although, some prefer the messy man bun, it’s all about preference and what outfit you’re wearing.
