Learn to tie the most effortless man bun
Create the hipster look in a matter of minutes
The humble man bun has fast become the go-to hairstyle for men sporting a little length in their locks. And while the once-only-reserved-for-hipsters hairstyle may not be everyone’s cup of tea, there’s no denying the look is here to stay for a while, so we asked John Vial, Fudge Professional Global Creative Director for his tips on nailing the effortless look.
Full disclosure: According to Vial, your hair needs to be at least six inches or longer in length, otherwise your bun will look more like a paintbrush or pineapple. So if you’re just shy of that length, get growing!
