Move over Man Bun Because the Man Braid is Here ...

By Jennifer • Feb 16, 2016

Love it or hate it, the man bun may finally be on its way out, replaced by something even sexier (or, if you're not into it, ickier). Will the man braid have the hipster staying power of the man bun, undercut, or the full beard? Time will tell, but for now, let's just bask in the glory of men with braids, shall we?

    Well then you to enjoy sharing your hair accessories, makeup and clothes with your beau. To each their own and I prefer manly men. And I never said they couldn't do what they wanted I just simply stated that I prefer a mans man.

    Why all the hate? Men can wear buns, men can wear braids. It's cool. It's 2016. Let's stop deciding for other people what they can and can't look like, shall we?  ^_^

    Omg!!! So tired of this trend where men are competing with women's trends. They wear skirts and makeup and polish their nails. Now they have buns and braids in their hair. Where did all the real men go?

    Wow. Hate the gender stereotyping in the comments. It's 2016 I thought we were past judging like that. :( all men are "real" men. Just like all women are "real" women no matter what they wear or how they choose to look.

    Love braiding my hubby's hair and not b wing confined to your narrow-minded gender roles. :)
