8 signs that man buns have gone too far

Blame Conor McGregor.

LIKE THE QUIFF and the short-back-and-sides before it, the man bun is the newest, hottest hair trend for men.

We all started off on good terms, but recently we reached man bun saturation point. The tide is turning. Here’s why.

Firstly, these are man buns

A good man bun should be full, thick, and sort of scraggly and bohemian-looking.

He told the Irish Independent earlier this year that he was man-bunning long before it was in fashion:

I couldn’t do anything day-to-day without my hair getting in my mouth or my eyes or my food, so I just started tying it back, long before I knew what a man bun was.

Men with short hair are trying to get in on the action…

Man bun fatigue has well and truly set in

People are being blocked for having man buns, you guys.

And the Google results for ‘man buns’ are pretty telling

The man bun is dead. Long live the man bun.
