Since reading this thread I have noticed the man bun even more. At dinner last night at a nice steak house, three waiters had the man bun going. That was a large percentage of the male staff.
I think the bun looks bad on man our women so I equally dislike it regardless of gender. If you have long hair and want to keep it under control out it in a pony tail. I like the way those look. Unless it is mandatory for your job and it might be for a waiter with long hair.
Different strokes.. i never put my hair in a pony tail because i dislike the look regardless of gender.(maybe some women)..Do you approve of my braid though? Kinda ponytail'ish...
