Want to tie and style a man bun but confused about how to do it? Well, Man bun hairstyles have been topping men’s style charts for a while now, with many celebrities leading the trends.
How to Grow & Tie A Man Bun
The most basic man bun also needs at least 6 inches of hair. But if you are really keen on a proper one, you need 10-12 inch long hair. Now growing your hair this long can actually take months or even more than a year.
But once it grows that long, tying the man bun is more of a practice. Comb and arrange all the hair together. Hold it like one ponytail and get it all together with a hair-tie. Now when you take it around the hair for the second or third time, roll the hair over it and pull it halfway. There you have the bun ready.
The spot just below the crown is a good place to tie man bun intact. But you can always try out a variety of positions and see what suits you best. Some may be more comfortable tying it around the neck.
