3 Good Reasons To Grow A Man Bun & Why They're So Popular

- Hey guys, welcome back for another hair related video. Today we’re going to be discussing an interesting topic indeed. We’re going to be looking at WHY the man bun is so popular and why it’s not going anywhere any time soon.
Before we start, for free hair growth support visit this link and follow the prompts: manbunsandmane...
I’ll be covering 3 main reasons in this video (And I must say, Number 3 is certainly the most intriguing that I managed to find on the internet) but if however you think there’s more reasons than the ones I mention today, feel free to give your two cents in the comments.
I love having a read of your guys point of view haha.
Ok, let’s move it.
The first reason as to why I think the man bun is so popular and will pretty much never go out of fashion is because it’s simple and easy to achieve… (provided you can persevere through the awkward stage…)
I mean, coz let’s be real, that’s a f#cken mission and a half and I think just about everyone in this audience will agree with me on that haha.
No but really, the fact the man bun is so quick and simple to achieve was definitely a major selling point for me when considering it in the beginning.
I have psycho ass hair that does whatever it wants and the fact that there's a hairstyle that can solve it and make it look presentable in 2.7 seconds is a pretty good deal.
Especially if you’re a busy guy who does like taking pride in his appearance but just doesn't always have the time, it’s definitely a winner and a solid reason that guys will continue to wear this style.
The second reason the man bun is so popular and isn’t going anywhere is because it’s dynamic.
What I mean by that is it’s got SO many different styles that it’s hard to get bored with it. It can look scruffy, it can look neat, it can be high, it can be low it can be short, it can be halved, it can be worn with braids and it can be full and you can even wear it out depending on the vibe you are going for.
It also works with all different types of fashion, it can be worn with formal wear, casual wear, sex wear, you name it it can work. It’s almost like the style that has no rules and it works with curly hair and it doesn’t matter if it looks messy sometimes lol...
And if you’re someone who values liberation and freedom like me, then the man bun is certainly a style worth considering.
Reason number 3 and the most intriguing of this video, is (drum Roll…….)
Covering up baldness?!?!?!
Yup, that’s right. Someone posted this interesting article in the Facebook group about this and when I read it I was like what?!?!?!
Btw, if you haven’t yet joined the man buns and manes facebook group you can visit the link in the description and just follow the prompts (wink)
But yeah. I was gobsmacked about this whole man buns covering baldness thing, I couldn’t believe that people really grow man buns to cover up their baldness? I mean, it’s clever but in all honesty,
I’m all about solving problems for good and with everything I’ve learnt about male pattern baldness in all my research this far,
This is a F#cking terrible reason to have a man bun!
It’s literally a temporary bandage for a problem that needs surgery. I’ve stressed this point so frequently about hair loss and if you’re really serious about stopping it in its tracks you need to take proper action as soon as you notice any type of balding.
I actually wanted to question the authenticity and credibility of this article when I first saw it to be honest. They kind of made claims that the man bun had crazy search volumes in search engines which is true,
but they kinda just chucked a few pictures of some guys with pattern baldness that so happen to have man buns and said “Case and point, here’s the proof, 2 guys have done it so it must be the main reason…
Which I think is bullshit but you know.
Each to their own opinion right?
Have an awesome day and I’ll see you next week for another video!

I grew my long hair, because i can!!. at 43 years old most of my friends are bald or receding, plus I had long hair at school, many years ago! Lol, but ultimately, it just looks bloody cool as f**k
Yes indeed. 45 here and growing my hair out for the first time since I was in my teens. Can't wait until I get past the awkward stage later this year.
42 here 😊
Jason Momoa, once i have the manbun, i will only need the rest of his body and face, step by step i guess lol
I mean everyone growing one rn bc of covid 19 ✌️
That’s why I’m doing it, haha. I was already overdue for a haircut when lockdown started so now I’m like, “fuck it”. At this point, getting it cut is a bigger commitment than growing it out.
Same here it’s way easier to get passed the awkward phase when you’re quarantined and can’t go out and even when you do for shopping your face is covered with a mask lol this is my first time growing out my hair an covid just made me really go all in no way I’m cutting it now!
Same man! LMFAO
I ain't gonna be in the office anyways, so better grow dat shit
Update on how it looks?
i started growing my hair out because me and a couple friends thought it was funny to do a race on who can grow to a full man bun the fastest. i won the race and kept my long hair but the other guys cut it all off!
Bram , are the borders to Netherlands open? Need to come over for shopping in Roermond 🙈
I’m growing out my hair because I’ve never had my hair long before in my 19 years of life. I’m currently at stage 2 and I started with an undercut at about 3 and a half inches on the top and zero on the sides. I’m now at 4 and a half inches on top and an inch on the sides. I regret cutting my hair in March because I had a really cool undercut with 8 inches on top and was able to get it into a perfect man bun, but I listened to my parents and I got it cut😞. You have really inspired me to grow out my hair and I can’t wait to see what my hair will be like in a year from now!
I actually started growing my hair because i had a bad experience with my barber but after i saw all these people with their long hair *especially you* i said hell yeah that's what i want for now on
the long hair game is gonna be at a all time high coming out of this year, thanks for the continued guidance as many of us journey through the awkward phase.
I never had a very short haircut and i thought that at the age of 16 it’s the time for a change. So I said either i cut it and have a short haircut or just grow a man bun. It’s been 10 months since then and i feel like each month while it’s growing it’s looking better and i love it more. I don’t think that I could’ve continued growing it out without your inspiration THANKS THOMAS ❤️
I'm growing out my hair to have long hair, not for the bun. I will of course wear it up in a bun but that's like an essential part of long hair, it's what you gotta do.
I was just tired of my regular hair cut since i was a kit. I started growing my hair before that i could tie it up to a small onion bun. But school didn't allow such a haircut so i had a bit off time with kinda long hair. Now I've had the opportunity to grow my hair for almost 2 years now and I'm loving it. I have it a bit longer than my shoulder and it's very versatile indeed on styling for an occasion.
First ahhh!!!! Thank you once again for this video
Hey bro. Chanced upon your videos during quarantine. Just wanna say you are a very nice personality on youtube. Hope i can end up feeling as confident as you are with your hair. Ps im trying to grow my hair out past a regular short part for the first time in my life.
Thanks for watching
Thomas’ smug laugh at 4:09 OMG I’m so dead hahahahah😂 Love it😂😂
I got a man bun to express my personality growing up I was never allowed to grow my hair out but now that I’m an adult I have been growing
Y hair out as a rebellious stand and to show my true personality
Love it! Thanks for sharing. It's nice to see you liberating yourself!
@@thomasinaction your videos are the whole reason I wanted to grow my hair out it makes me feel really good that you actually replied to my comment thxs sooo much
For me reasons are easy maintenance, low cost (no barbers and products) and the many styles you can rock.
growing out my man bun for the last 8ish months, I'm almost there but I'm only 17 and this awkward stage has been hard af, but I'm almost there so I'm gonna keep at it lol
I started my journey a month after you did and followed along with you but I just shaved my head yesterday. It was fun while it lasted.
Amazing video!! Love to always have inspiration for going through the awkward stage 🙏
I needed a change, I’ve wanted to grow out my hair ever since I cut it a month before my 15th birthday. I tried and tried to grow it out but finally in Oct ‘19 at 25 years old, I committed to it. I got tired of either having to wear hat or put gel in my hair. Growing my hair to be able to put it up in a bun will be more versatile for me.
My reason: man buns are just super practical. I'm very active and ponytails don't cut it sometimes.
I've always had a buzz cut and needed something new I have a disconected undercut manbun now and love it thom thanks for the content love it keep it up man
Beard looking great, man.
Quarantine helped very much with me in terms of dealing with awkward stage, I used to have it an undercut man bun but soon being forced to cut it short for a internship in an investment bank, but I’m getting a full bun day by day now ))
I just love the look and feel of a man bun
On my man bun journey halfway through the awkward stage haha always watch your videos to keep me inspired to push on with it 💪🏼👱🏽♀️😂
Wanted to grow my hair out all my life, could never get through the "awkward" stage but its finally happening!!! (With a little help from a head band bit still) only took 30 years lol
Girls love playing with a guys amazing hair. Give them another reason to stay with you. :) make them man bun you all up!!!
I grew my long hair because i really like it . because of you and jarl
Just achieved my Man Bun...and I'm loving it 😍😍...and to your question....it's my Crown 😜🤩😘
I'm growing hair out mainly out of curiosity and the low maintenance it needs to be long (2 big washes a week and a trim every 3 months) even tho it's still a pain to style , plus once it'll be long enough I'll donate it
I started growing my man bun out because I wanted to donate my hair after my mom was diagnosed with cancer, but I ended up loving having long hair and plan on growing it out all over again after I donate it
Short hair gives you only one hairstyle option. Longer hair give you so many options! Plus longer hair makes me feel primal and sexy.
Mine is taking so long to grow out😫 it’s just now almost to the bottom of my neck after a year , I kept getting the back cut so I didn’t have a mullet
How is that a mullet if you grow it all out at the same time?
3 months into growing my hair. I'm still waiting on my man bun but for now it's throw the top to the right and slick the sides to the back. ✌✌
I'm growing a manbun to prove I life now for my self. I once growth my hair to prove something to someone else, I had a great loyalty and appreciation for this person and it wasn't worth it (it was a deep reason by the time)...after the reason losed it value I cut my hair and started to growing it again to prove and remember me to never repeat that mistake. I don't need really anyone else than my self to validate my decisions or my life, I only need me. I'm now free and my future Manbun is my way to express it.
Oh, and also because it's cool and can give my a lot of hair styles (btw, don't take into account my picture, is of 5 years ago)
"You can visit the description box below"
*points up* 😂😂😂😂❤
I'm growing my hair to get to a full man bun because it looks epic and cool
Hi Thomas, hope you're doing well. This current look of yours looks really manly and handsome...love it...I also started to grow my beard till it's hanging from the chin... looking for a bohemian look
Hi Thomas, I would like to ask you whether it is worth cutting top knot now or growing a full man bun. It should also be borne in mind that I am from Russia and the trends arrive to us late.
Because I wanna see how i look with long hair or a bun, and it might help me to look handsome or smth
Ehm well, in first place I had since I was little already some length in my hair,
When I was around 15 I started to grow it out but a barber ruined my hair when I got in the 1 year mark,
I"ve had a new hairstyle by a different barber and I still wondered how my hair would look when I grew it out,
I'm now 18 and I'm still growing it out to donate it when I'm turning 20
When I started this journey 18 months ago I said I’d never wear a man bun... I get it now!
For me I turned 30 back in January and I thought why not. Start growing it out! A New decade, new stage of my life and I’ve always just given in and cut it all off.. I’m trying something new, stay strong and keep on growing guys!
My reason for my bun is... Jon Snow. I confess!!! Best hero ever :)
I may sound like a weeb for saying this but i wanted to get a man bun because of attack on titan where Eren grows out his hair and puts it in a man bun and i personally think it looks cool as hell
I grew my hair out just to look different. Many people have that casual short hair and I dont have a problem with that at all. I just wanna look a little different!
I've been growing out my hair for almost 18 months now it comes in between my collarbone and nipples I didn't grow it out for the man bun hairstyle it more because I wanted long hair but the man bun comes with as well I wash my hair once a week so I will wear it down or in a half up half down for 3 days maybe 4 if I'm feeling it but throughout the rest of the week I'm wearing a man bun cause it's starting to get a little greasy and when it's in a bun you can't notice. Btw I love your videos Thom keep up the good work, support from Tennessee, USA.
i started growing out my hair cause of metal. and headbanging. and also it looks wildin
been growing my hair for 2.5 months now its 8 cm on the front and very short on the sides,my goal is a top knot and for that i need around 10 cm more im hoping to get there in next 5 to 6 months,your videos are very helpful.
my hair is curly so when it grows, it doesn't really look like it's getting longer 😂 but I've just recently been able to pull it all into a ponytail!! haha I'm trying to resist the urge to chop it all off by watching this video lol
Why I love man bun because I just love it , it doesn't matter if it's out fasion 😍😍❤️
Dude...it just looks bad ass. What more do you need?
I grew my hair out to see the potential of my hair, and to take advantage of having hair before it’s all gone (my dad got bald in the end of his 30s) lol.. not saying that’ll become bald by then but it’s a possibility.. Also I’ve lived my whole life with short hair and needed a change that’d also help me enhance my look as I’m getting older.. hope that makes sense.. anyways, this journey isn’t easy and full of criticism and people not liking it but once the desired look achieved and you know how to style your hair properly, you’ll shut those people’s mouths and actually make them applaud you, eventually.. hang in there you guys it’s a journey worth living..
I wanna look cool like you,that's why I'm trying to grow it out. You look great
My first reason was I was inspired by you haha next because it’s much easier to maintain in sort of its much easier to style 👍🏻
At first I didn't even think about making a bun I just wanted a ling hair so I can go on metal concerts and headbang all night long, but as my hair is getting longer I'm falling for her xD, I'm trying new products, hair styles, and styles in general. And I'm not seeing cutting my hair in the near future. Your videos helped me a lot so ty 4 everything
Another reason I wanted to grow my hair to a full man bun was wanting to experience it before losing my hair to male pattern baldness which is very prevalent in my family. But I’m really glad that I’ve learned, in all my research and binging of this channel, that I can stop hair loss and even reverse it if I deal with it sooner rather than later. So yeah, losing hair is not mandatory. I will not go bald. I’m so glad that technology and medicine has come so far.
I have 2nd cowling in the front, so long hair in general is probably the best way to go, except buzz cut, which I rocked, but soon got bored and grew my hair out long))
Tbh I usually find the shaven sides and back man bun (the top knot) kinda stupid. Some people can pull it off good, but the majority doesn't (IMO). However, the full man bun is completely different and looks really cool
@4:40 I thought you're gonna move 😂
I grew my hair out because I hate getting hair cuts and I wanted to try something new
It’s been literally two years since I last cut my hair and even though I can technically do a man bun, I STILL CANT LEARN HOW TO DO IT SO IT LOOKS GOOD UGH
It’s not like I look bad in it, it’s just that every time I try bun itself looks awkward though people tell me I look good with it, but I just can’t do it right
Also initially I started to grow my hair out to get attention from my crush bruh
Growing out since February, still long way to go.
The reason why I want to grow a manbun is because I have always dreamt of having long hair (already for something like 35+ years). Somehow I always managed to cut it early enough: time to change that! I think a manbun and beard is cool, so I am growing it long!
I decided to grow my hair out 2 yrs ago because i was tired of getting fade. Like all of the boys have the fade haircut, i wanted to be unique somehow so yeah
Because I can and it's fckin cool, you stand out with that sh1t for sure too...so yea I enjoy my manbun already for 3 years.
So a reason I grew my hair out is because I just hated cutting my hair so much! I have a very odd shaped head and I would always get a 1mm cut basically a bald buzz cut once every week! My mom is a hair stylist so like iv never paid for a hair cut my entire life! Anyways I just got tired of asking for hair cuts... she would always say she likes it bald.. though at school my friends would say I would look great with long hair. So the second I walked across the stage at graduation! (June 9th or 10th I forget! Of 2018) I only got 2 trims till this day. It’s already almost been a full 2 years which is crazy! I don’t wear it in a bun much but down. I have very wavy/ curly hair and I just like it flowing down... yeah also it’s made my face not look so chubby. I am 5’10 and was 280lb which was pretty THICC... Iv lost about 50ish pounds give or take and it complements me very well with my hair type.... my goal is to be under 200... but yeah my hair complements my face well and didn’t make me look as chubby!
My reason to why i got a man bun in The first places is that i have always had the same hairstyle and I was tierd of styling my hair every day, soo then i was searching for a hairstyle that i can wher without styling it every day, soo then i found the man bun, easy to do and it looks awsome, then i desided to grow my hair and have a man bun. love the man bun, i will always have a man bun hairstyle, buy the way the bun i have is undercut bun,
Buy the way i will thank you for what you are doing, thank you for all the videos and soo on, you are awsome, from Sweden soo if i spell some words rong then you know why, i ceep training in english writing soo yee
Just hit one year. Thanks for the help!
I have that weird head shape where the back part sticks out a lot. People used to point it out, until I decided to grow it out and it started to attract compliments about my hair. (had top knot with buzzed sides and God it was awful with my head shape, idk what I was doing.
Go you
When there were the hipster man buns 2014 I wanted to have one as well , so I grew my hairs 2014 till summer 2015 and didn't cared that much and it looked horrible as I didn't cut the sides and let it grew very ugly instead of taking care of it 😡 .... then I just cut it and weared the hairs to the side till 2018 . Then I decided to let it grow January 2018 till now , had some trims since now and it is more mental difficult than it was 2014-2015 ah yeah I forgot 2007-2009 I had that anime hair style it seems that my hairs grew faster in the past
I chose to try the man bun since my hair was already getting long from not cutting it because of covid. And so far im enjoying messing with it. Can't do much at the moment but I did the undercut.
As far as the growing to cover baldness, I've always heard that a buzz cut makes it less noticeable. Growing it out makes it more prominent.
Alright I am 11 months in on growing my hair my last haircut was a buzzcut and no my hair is 7 inches long yesterday I did my first man bun but I could use another two inches of hair before I go ahead and start doing it every day. Also love ur vids I've watched your videos since November 2019 when I was wanting to start my journey lol
How do you know when you're out of the awkward phase?
Bc it's authentic, stylish..
im 8months in growing my hair. Cant wait do the man bun.
Cause the man bun is manly and coolest!
I wanted to break free from boring tradition and stereotypes and embrace my morrocan curls
Really helpful, thx
Where I live almost all the young guys go for short hairstyles but I wanna stand out and try something new. Also cuz I’ve always felt like short hair doesn’t work for me. Also cuz I like Jon Snow 😁😉
Hi, I love your vids, keep up the great work! I'm a newbie but have liked & subbed to you.
This is the first time I've grown my hair long, I have really crazy thick, corse hair (kinda afro) so find it difficult to do too much with it. During these hotter months, it feels like I have a hot water bottle on my head so I've just been grabbing it all up and doing a top bun but thanks to your vids I have a selection to try out. My hair naturally is just down past my shoulders but when I straighten it it's down to my collarbone.
Make a video on how to grow beard
Check out last weeks video, despite the title hahaha
i grow my hair cause i like man bun cause manbun really make me feel confidence and be more masculine.
Hi thomas I want to ask you about keratin treatment im from Saudi Arabia ,i watch your video about it ,but we don’t have same product you used can you tell me any globally products plz . Thanks
The reason that I grow my hair it's because I have a promise with myself when I got at least to a man bun I be intermediym with my goals and when it's to the floor I will be finally achieve all my goal
1-Body building physique
2-MMA Fighter
3-Learn to dance to become stripper
4-Become my own boss and have my own business
5-Mental toughness and More attitude
I just cut my hair to 3 inch from 6 to 7 inch due to awkward stage
Growing mine out since the 7th. Currently have a undercut, somewhat lengthy at top and short on sides/back. Want to grow mine out cause I am curious how it looks.
Who is here and got tried of having a uneven man bun. The moment that it can be putted in center even tho it has a quite volume and quiet long
I'm growing a man bun for 2 reasons
1) I think it makes anyone look attractive
2) it makes people tell me to get a haircut which means I can hit them with a "how about no" and make them upset even tho getting a haircut won't make their life better :D
been growing my hair out for 11 months so far and tons of people were upset about it for some reason lmao
My hair is so damn fuzzy I dont have an awkward stage jus everyone I meet wants to play with it and say they gon kill me if i cut my hair
Bro im in literally the same situation im stuck. I'm thinking about a low disconnected undercut man bun
To be more attractive and handsome.
Any help to add volume to the back of my head? I have 13.5 months growth and it comes down to below my chin (I've been cutting the bottom/back to let the top catch up), but I have a really flat head, which my hair accentuates, any help?!
Hi Thomas. I was wondering whether u or one of the community could give me some advice. I have been growing my hair for two years now it it’s very long. Majority of the hair especially on top is great quality, however the hair that comes from behind my ears has poor quality which seems to be getting worse. I find this quite annoying as I like half up half down, but the longer parts which come from behind my ears look really disgusting when I do this (normally it’s hidden in a man bun). I am really unsure what the best thing is to do. I am tempted to cut 2-3 inches off once quarantine has lifted as I have not had a haircut since March, but not sure if there is an easier fix. Thanks
So I could annoy my cousin as she hates man buns that and because I really like that style
17months of growing. Gona grow it for another 4years. I always cut it after 2-3 years but not this time
iam on my 15th month yay 💯💯
Before quarantine hit I was at the barber and I asked for a light Clean up and the barber took off an entire inch I would've had my man bun by now if that didn't happen
I'm growing mine out currently because I wanna stand out from the "norms" and I wanna have some attention grabbing, luscious hair. Plus my fiancee said it would be cute
I wanted a man bun because I wanted to have long hair and it's easy to do in the morning
Your intro was funny
