A Global Phenomenon: the Man Bun

Jared Leto's man bun

Jared started it all, for me.

We interrupt this stream of vacation posts, for a quick discussion about a global phenomenon that I’ve recently become obsessed with.

Lately I’ve been noticing a lot of man buns.

The first one that made an impression on me was Jared Leto’s at the Oscars (or was it the Golden Globe’s). Then I noticed that Leo DiCaprio was sporting one.

Leo's bun. Too high and slicked for my liking.

Then I started to notice man buns in Paris and last weekend I saw a few when I picked up one of my kids from Firefly Music Festival and suddenly, everywhere I turn, I’m seeing man buns.

I think I kind of like them. There are so many types and styles to consider.

Russel Brand’s blue bun sits high atop his head.

The ever popular Ryan Gosling man bun sits low on the back of his head.

Well now, that's quite a bun. Huge. And high.

Bradley Cooper's bun is tiny but well placed.

Bechkam has always rocked the bun, way before it became a fad. I think he kills it.

Silliest idea of all. George Clooney sporting Jared Leto's bun.

Colin Farrell's odd half shaved head with a sparse high bun. What do you think? I'm not a fan, although I usually love him.

The silliest of all man buns. No idea who this hipster is, but this is not a look I would recommend for anyone!

No. Just no, please..

And finally, the best of all buns on the best of all men – Jon Snow (aka Kit Harington). He may know nothing, but he sure knows how to rock a man bun.
