Man bun trend?

[busybodyk]

Is this a real thing? I saw this on Groupon. The site now says "over 10,000 bought."  WTF!!!! I feel like this should be an April Fools joke...


Clip In Man Bun
For the Man Who Wears Many Hats, but No Bun

One of the hottest trends in men’s fashion, the man bun has been popularized by fixed-gear bicyclists and introspective Hollywood actors alike. But although the hairstyle oozes with fashion sense, those who sport it might find themselves outcasts in sports bars, motorcycle gangs, and the annual government-mandated machismo test. This attachable—and, equally important, detachable—man bun lets you blend in with your surroundings, putting it on when you smell fair-trade coffee or hear a banjo, and taking it off when someone utters the word bro.
How To Wear It

Comb your hair back toward the crown of your head, in a similar motion to lacquering a reclaimed-wood coffee table
Attach the man bun to your natural hair the way the lay public attached itself to Arcade Fire
Use bobby pins to secure the man bun, decide bobby pins are too mainstream, use antique paper clips instead

Specifics

Attachable hairpiece
Made of artificial hair
Product dimensions: 3” (dia) x 1” (H)

Boring people declared they liked an indie-band once it became popular?  (Apparently it's Canadian).  Or like everyone deciding to be Nirvana fans only after Kurt Cobain's death.  Or something...

All I "see" when I see the photo is "The Trouble with Tribbles".

I hate the man bun so much.

Maybe I should just attach one of those to the top of my head and call it a top knot. Move over bumpit.

That poor guy has to try and keep a straight face while wearing that thing.

7,000 of those purchases have to be jokes.

What about the other 3,000?

I had a coworker who had the real thing with naturally curly hair. He could pull it off as a young 20-something. But at what point do you just cut your hair? If you wear it up every day maybe it's time to cut it.

[mrsukyankee]

It's been a thing in Europe for a few years now. Sigh.  And too many guys cannot wear it and look decent.  I think you have to have cut model cheekbones and be all tall and broad.

I love my H's man bun.

Groupon is hilarious. They have some witty people working there. Did you ever read the banana bunker comments?

www.adweek.com/adfreak/groupon-posted-product-facebook-then-replied-everyone-who-made-sex-joke-163737

FB user: "Does the Banana Bunker still protect a banana that is limp due to age, or does the banan still need to be full and ripe?"

Groupon reply: "The Bunker does not discriminate-- it accepts bananas of all ages."

I'm ok with long hair on certain guys, it doesn't work for all. Not a fan of man buns though, sorry.

I think it's better in a low pony tail, but I also get the IDGAF man buns. Not a perfectly primped one and DEFINITELY not a hairpiece!

I'm dying at the possibility of some poor guy wearing one of these, attracting a girl, who then runs her fingers through his "hair" and it falls out. Then what?

[DaisyCakes]

OMG! I Actually have one of those from my competitive dancing days. I should try to put it on H...or the dog...

[mrspost08]

This was in the Today show a few months ago. It looks horrible! I wish I could stick it on DH bald head. That would be so funny.

[sixtwelve]
