- If you have a man bun, or you're in the process
of growing one, you are definitely in the right place,
because in this video I'm going to be showing you
10 different man bun variations
that you probably never knew existed.
(jazz fanfare)
Firstly, I'm Thomas, and welcome to my channel.
I make style and hair related videos every single week
and this is episode one of my man bun monthly series.
Now, I've decided to make this series because I've finally
grown my full man bun out and I'm so excited about it
and I thought bringing a series to you
about just how to maintain a man bun
and giving man bun inspiration would be
really good for you guys, seeing as I know
a lot of you are going for that.
This is just a new way for us to connect
and talk about something that we all relate to.
So if you are into that, make sure you subscribe
and look out for once a month because I'm gonna be posting
a lot of man bun content coming up.
In today's episode, we're gonna be talking
about the different man bun variations that there are.
Now, I picked 10 that I thought were pretty cool,
but there are seriously like so many variations
that you can go with, so I've narrowed it down
to 10 that I think are really funky
and I'm gonna share them with you.
You might be growing a man bun and what I want this to do
is just give you an idea of what man bun you could go for.
You might not have even made your decision yet and hopefully
this helps you get a little bit more clear on that, okay?
So for man bun number one we're gonna be talking
about the most generic one that we've probably all seen,
the man bun with the disconnected undercut.
This is the first man bun that I ever had.
I had this when I was living in Canada and yeah,
it was pretty much the first time I had ever
seen a man bun and it was trending online.
I did my first hair tutorial, was of the man bun
with an undercut and it served me really well.
I thought it was really slick, really awesome,
and I still see a lot of people getting it.
A lot of people in the Facebook group have got them.
This is pretty much the most common man bun
that we probably see.
It also can pass as a top knot, I guess, because well,
when I had mine, my hair was very thick on top,
so it's always looked like a bun,
but a man bun top knot, same deal.
And I think it's very iconic and it's still
very very popular, even three years later
after making my first video about it.
So that's man bun number one.
Man bun hairstyle number two is the full man bun;
that's me right now.
The full man bun is freakin awesome.
The reason I wanted to grow my full man bun in general
was just because I found with the disconnected
undercut man bun I just didn't have enough hair
and I was running out of hairstyles that I had.
So I thought, "You know what, it's time to get
"more hair going on and I'm gonna grow it all out."
And now I'm finally there and I've been playing around
with many, many different variations of it.
You've got, there's so many of the full man bun,
you've got the high, the normal, and the low,
but you've also got two variations of each of them.
You've got the high messy, the high neat.
You've got the medium messy, the medium neat.
And you've also got the low messy and the low neat.
All of which, I think, look really cool and really different
so I'm gonna be having a bit of B roll of that hanging over
the screen right now so you can actually see the variations.
But yeah, I think my favourite one
to wear is a messy high bun particularly
because it doesn't take that long to do.
It's literally just chucking your hair up
in a bun, nice and high, and I feel like
it suits my face shape the best.
The third man bun on the list is
the braided man bun with an undercut.
So this was a really really cool look that I got
my friend Taren to do on me about three years ago.
We filmed a video of it and it was actually a big hit.
I think on the same day, Lucanfirstgo posted
a man bun braid video as well.
It's just a really nifty, cool, hip-looking style.
And yeah, there was two variations of it,
there was the single braid that I would do
with the man bun and then I also did a couple of tutorials
about how to braid and then also how to do a double braid
with the undercut, which I also thought was really cool.
I'm gonna have B roll of these as well,
floating over the top so you can have
a nice good look at that.
But I think this hairstyle is really really iconic
and really cool and I loved having it when I had it.
Man bun variation number four.
So this one is still another man bun with an undercut.
I can see how these all look very similar,
but the actual looks themselves
look completely different, right?
So this one's called the diamond back undercut
with a man bun and I don't know if you guys remember,
but a little bit, probably about two years ago now,
I was like, "You know what,
"I'm gonna grow out this V shape in the back of my head."
I actually called it a duck bum when I was growing it out.
And a lot of you guys really really liked it.
And the reason I ended up going
and getting the duck bum or the V shape
at the back of my head, was because I found
with the disconnected undercut man bun, it just--
there was like this bulbous part of my head
that would stick out, and I really wasn't a fan of it.
And I was like, "How can I patch this up?"
And I thought, well, I've seen a couple of people
have the diamond shape; it probably came
a little bit further down the back of their head.
And I thought, maybe this is a good way
for me to get rid of that bulbous look.
Anyway, took me probably about four or five months
to grow it out so it could at least get into the bun,
but after I did it, it completely changed the man bun
undercut look for me and I really really liked it.
It took a little bit of working, as well, to get in.
Like I had to go to the hairdresser
and kind of explain what I wanted.
Then they'd have to cut it into shape;
I'd have to look at it.
And they we finally got it into
the right shape and then boom, we were off.
And obviously it's gone now because I've grown
all my hair out, but hey.
Alright, so for man bun number five on the list,
it's the high baller Jon Snow man bun.
So everybody knows what Jon Snow's hair looks like.
We actually have very very similar hair.
And yeah, I kind of really like this look, where it's like--
I think it's just called a high baller, I don't know.
It kind of looks like a bun with a mullet
at the same time, like a curly mullet.
But I don't really know why, but I'm really
really fond of the Jon Snow high baller.
And maybe it's because I like Jon Snow
as a character or maybe because we have the same hair,
I'm just really not sure.
I really like this hairstyle though
and I think it suits me quite well.
Man bun style number six, the lowered undercut man bun.
These are so confusing, all of these names.
But essentially what the lowered undercut man bun is,
is a disconnected undercut for a man bun
but brought right down.
So I spoke about this, I think in my first growing out
process check in, I kind of mentioned
that this is the hairstyle that I wanna go for
in the end, but as I've gotten--
I've mentioned this in a couple of other videos as well,
but as my hair's gotten longer, I've sort of gone,
"Ooh, I don't want to let go of it yet."
I still think this style is really cool.
I first started seeing it on Pinterest.
As soon as I repin one thing, it's like,
"Ooh, Tom likes all of that."
And they start showing me dozens and dozens and dozens
of the same thing and I'm like,
"Okay, this is a trend, I like it, I really do."
But yeah, I'm just not ready to have that haircut yet.
I think eventually I will be getting
the lower disconnected undercut man bun
but I just don't know when it'll be
and it's when I'm gonna disconnect from my hair, literally.
Man bun number seven is the cap man bun,
the exact one that I'm wearing today.
I always think it gives a new dimension to my face.
I don't only just wear it when I feel like
looking a little bit different, but this is actually
the hairdo I'll have when I go for a jog or something.
The sun beams down here in Australia
and wearing a cap with my man bun,
it actually keeps my face shielded
and I think it looks quite groovy, actually.
It just changes things up.
This is also a really good look as well
for when you're growing your hair out,
to try and avoid the awkward stage.
I remember I used to do this a lot
cause I could still poke my bun out of the back
but I would just bobby pin the short sides up so they would
stay out of the way and I didn't look too dorky.
But yeah, I really really like this one as well.
Now for man bun number eight.
So man bun number eight is the midway man bun.
This is one that I made up all by myself.
It looks very similar to the Jon Snow one
except it's straightened and it's for people
that are in the awkward stage.
So I found, when I was going through
the guts of the awkward stage, where it was like
Krusty the Klown, I'd be able to tie up this man bun
but I'd have these prongy-outy sides.
I was like, "What the hell am I gonna do with these?"
And I ended up giving it a straighten
and then I sort of got a load of bobby pins and I went,
"Okay, we're gonna make something out of this."
And I just kind of worked all the bobby pins in to,
I don't know, a nice formation.
And I ended up being really really happy with the hairstyle.
I've actually got a tutorial about it as well.
I'm gonna leave the tutorial up in the cards for you,
so you can go and check that out.
But this man bun is the best for any of you
that are probably midway through,
literally midway through your growing out process
and you want something to help it look a little less shabby.
Really helped me out; I kind of like--
after three inches, I started wearing the midway man bun
pretty much every single day, so really like that one.
And now for man bun number nine.
This one's a relatively new one that I've been starting
to wear since my sides have been longer.
I call it the double side braided man bun.
So this is where I will leave all the top hair on my head
like as a normal man bun but I'll braid the sides.
I don't know, I kind of, in my braiding experience,
I've only really been used to doing it on top of my head.
When you actually have to change the angle
and start braiding another part of your head,
it actually becomes a lot more complex.
But I really dig this look; I think it's cool.
And it's just one that I've made up recently,
so if any of you can braid, I would strongly suggest
you try it out as well.
And now for the final, can I get a drum roll? (drum roll)
Man bun number 10, it is the dreadlocked man bun.
Now, this style isn't gonna be very easy
for everybody to achieve, unless you have dreadlocks,
but it is one sick look; I really like it.
This was another one that popped up on Pinterest.
I saved it once and then all of a sudden
I'm just seeing dreadlocked man buns everywhere
and I think this look is very, very cool.
However, I don't know if I'm ever gonna be
having dreadlocks because I kind of like really nice,
soft feeling hair and having my curls.
But I do really dig this and actually,
anybody that has a dreadlock man bun
that might be watching this, if you could send me an email
with a picture of it, I'd love to feature it
in one of these videos, because I think this look
is one of a kind and really really cool.
And it's a variation that I didn't really think of.
I was kind of like, "Okay, you've got this man bun,
"this man bun, this man bun, that man bun,
"oh, a dreadlocked man bun!"
It just came out of nowhere and I was like,
"That is very, very cool."
And it definitely deserved to be on the list.
And guys, that is my 10 man bun hairstyles.
I hope I was able to show you some really cool
quirky ones that you hadn't seen before.
