Let's talk buns!

I've been noticing what appears to be quite a trending men's hairstyle and I'm not a fan: the man bun.

I've noticed it all over tv programs/celebrities and even in sports, from pros, all the way down to our high school sports.

I've always treasured full, long manes. I have a "booty sweeper" of my own.
Even when it comes to my animals, my affinity is for the long-haired species.

I'm even a fan of men's long hair--if kept well (and usually ONLY on younger men--just to admire from afar Lol) But, I am not a fan of ponytails sported by men, and therefore, this fad of man buns isn't appealing to me, either.

I especially dislike the, what I call, "baby buns". You know the ones where the hair isn't real long, therefore part of the hair his hanging down with a li'l teensy-weensy bun stuck up high in the back? Ick
And for the braided buns that a lot of athletes wear that are just HUGE (I guess they'd be the mackdaddy or granddaddy buns? Lol), I can't imagine what all that weight feels like tugging on your head throughout gameplay.... Perhaps I'm just jealous of guys that have bigger buns than me.

So, what's your thoughts on this latest statement in men's fashion? Are they too feminine and girly?
Will you be kickin' the style (if you're not "follically challenged" )?
Man Buns~~a tasty treat for the boys, or a look that’s best left for the ladies?

I prefer a good Rye bun.

I think the Kewpee has changed their buns. They seem to fall apart easily, when you are eating your sandwich. Just don't seem to be a good bun anymore

Buns:

I'm really not a fan of guys wearing "girls" hairstyles. I suppose that an old fashion view-but never liked it.

I think Joakim Noah looks stupid.

Not a real fan of buns of the hair kind on women either.

I don't like plain bread buns either-but I guess you need something to hold yor burger or dog.

I do like a nice cinnamon bun!

I just ate a couple burgers off the dollar meal at McD's for supper.

Buns were stale.

Joakim Noah - can not stand this guy.

I like my buns toasted with just a tad of butter to them!! Thats about it!

I agree with the Noah comments, he makes me want to puke!

Take them back! I know it sounds weird but the main reason I like McD's burgers is because I think their buns are top notch. I would LOVE to be able to buy that brand at the store.

With all the foodies here, I'm not too surprised this immediately turned into a gastronomical thread.

That's not your genre of music. How'd you know that?! Lol


Btw, Lep...as much as I am into cooking, I haven't heard the term "leavening" since my Home Ec classes with Mrs. Driver and Mrs. Hamilton (is that correct? I think my mind's slipping on the last one) in the '80's!!!!

OMG.... I just finally watched your video. (Cause I hate clicking links)..... But, that makes me hate them all the more!!!!!!
that IS NOT attractive by any stretch of the imagination..... Just gross!

And, as someone else stated, I don't like buns on women, either, but, when you have hair down to your derrière, ithey're a necessity in the hot summer trawls . You can feel each and every strand around your neck, therefore, a bun feels like a lifesaver at the time.
