Greasy and dirty hair can make man buns look unappealing. If you have greasy hair, you may need to shampoo and condition it daily. Shampooing hair more than three times a week may cause it to dry out if you have naturally dry hair.
If your leave-in conditioner comes in a spray, spritz it all over your hair.
With this style you can let the hair on the back of your head hang or you can tie it up into the bun.
If your hair is longer, then folding your ponytail may look too saggy to be a bun.
Don’t pull your hair back too tightly or it may be uncomfortable. If you don’t want a messy bun, run a comb through your hair before you style it.
If the bun isn’t tight enough, you may need to pull your hair through the hair tie for a third time, then pull it through halfway on the fourth time.
If your hair is too short or straight to stay wrapped around the bun and hair tie, you could use a firm hold hair spray or a pomade to lock your hair in place.
The top knot should be located towards the center on the top of your head. You only need 6–7 inches (15–18 cm) of hair to create this bun.
