OK - so it's not only the little 'bun' thing I hate but the way that the hair's pulled back in order to style aforementioned bun is also really unattractive!!

Am I too set in my ways /conservative re hair dos? (notice no apostrophe)

I don't like them.

But I also don't like this Eyebrow Thing some girls have got going on either. It's not 50s sophistication, it's Hammer Horror.

I just asked dh if he would grow a man bun, his answer :

"Fuck no! In this house?! With your issues with keeping track of bobbles?!"

So there you go. Apparently I couldn't be trusted to not pinch his bobbles, and he doesn't like having his hair in his eyes.

I agree they can be gorgeous on the right guy.

Man buns require thick long curly hair preferably at least shoulder length. I'm a bit biased tho and stating a preference.Grin

I LOVE a man-bun, but I only think they look good if they are positioned at or below the lambdoidal suture.

Oh look he's holding a tiny baby too.

I like that he wears his low down.

Haha - thanks Jellybelli for bringing back some childhood memories!!

Maybe I need to broaden my horizons a bit but I also much prefer clean shaven men to bearded etc...

I think it's ok to not like it. Plenty of men complain they hate ugg boots. I don't like them but I wouldn't be mean to someone about it. I don't really get the high shine wet look gel thing either

A man at work always used to have a bun. He had a decent amount of hair though. I had a double take at first but after a while I realised it really suited him. Some people pull it off

Oh no sorry, yabu. I love them! I really like the beard and man bun combination too and I know we're all supposed to be so over the beard thing and scornful of the look. Can't help it, just like it :)
