Move over Cinnabon, there’s a new bun on the market that hipsters are eating up. We’re talking of course about the delicious swirl of the man bun.
If you were thinking of cutting your hair, just remember that ladies like the man bun.
Sorry to break it to the guys who sport the clean cut look, but the hipster norm of the millennial culture has made the untamed haven’t-showered-in-a-month look the fashion necessity for males.
What do women these days find sexier than guys with hair the same length as theirs? Who wouldn’t want to have to bring a hair tie with them everywhere? A world with a bun on top of every man’s head would be a win-win situation for relationships and bachelors everywhere.
That is why men need to put down the clippers and start growing man buns.
Are you finding your Sunday nights are dread-ridden with the coming of Monday? There’s no better way to start your week than a #manbunmonday.
“I love Instagram on Mondays, man bun Monday is my favorite day” said man bun enthusiast and junior fashion major Mariah Garcia. “I don’t know [why] more guys don’t have them.”
The man bun trend has also inspired many Instagram accounts including manbunlifestyle (73.7k followers), manbunsofdisneyland (61.8k followers) and dailymanbun (47.3k followers).
“I love following man bun accounts and having my newsfeed full of long-haired guys” Garcia said.
If you’re worried about personal hygiene, fear not. That oiled, grease shine on unkempt locks makes every girl go weak in the knees and right swipe that Tinder profile. Think about how much time and water you save when you get to skip out on the shower. What other hairstyle is drought friendly? And remember, saving the environment is sexy.
Some may be thinking that maintaining professionalism in the workplace isn’t possible with a man bun, but wrong they are. Nothing says “Hire me” like a man who keeps with the trend. Also with long hair, you can rock the “business bun.”
Other than the business bun, there’s the pre-bun, the top bun, the low bun, the baby bun, and the only thing more delicious than a milky bun, the Jared-Leto bun.
Other students who have yet to join the bandwagon are missing out on a bun-tastic time.
“I wish I could take part” said man-bun hopeful and junior mechanical engineering major Thomas Foudy. As a cadet, Foudy isn’t able to participate in the trend due to Air Force hair standards. Yet Foudy hopes to one day grow a man bun. He said, “[the man bun] brings out the inner mountain man I aspire to be one day.”
Quite frankly, we don’t want none unless you got (man) buns hun.
