Men, if you are you looking at the short tiny ponytail perched at the back of your head wishing it was a man bun, you are in luck! Groupon is selling a hair extension made just for you. The clip-on man bun is possibly everything you dreamed of and more.
The attachable hairpiece is described as a bun for the man who wears many hats, but no bun. "One of the hottest trends in men's fashion, the man bun has been popularized by fixed-gear bicyclists and introspective Hollywood actors alike," explains Groupon.
Jared Leto catapulted the man bun to fame when he rocked one at the Golden Globes in 2014. Moreover, the style is so popular, there are a number of Instagram and social media accounts dedicated to the tied-up man-mane, like @ManBunsOfDisneyland.
Groupon aims to assist those who are fashionable, but not daring enough to commit. "Although the hairstyle oozes with fashion sense, those who sport it might find themselves outcasts in sports bars, motorcycle gangs, and the annual government-mandated machismo test. This attachable-and, equally important, detachable-man bun lets you blend in with your surroundings, putting it on when you smell fair-trade coffee or hear a banjo, and taking it off when someone utters the word bro."
It only takes 3 easy steps to begin sporting the new do.
1. Comb your hair back toward the crown of your head, in a similar motion to lacquering a reclaimed-wood coffee table
2. Attach the man bun to your natural hair the way the lay public attached itself to Arcade Fire
Use bobby pins to secure the man bun, decide bobby pins are too mainstream, use antique paper clips instead
The piece comes in three colors black, brown, and blonde. Best of all, the hair accessory is valued at $65.34, but for a limited time, interested customers can purchase the product at $9.99, a $55.35 savings. To boot, it ships in 2 days.
Groupon boasts over 1000 pieces have been purchased, while three customers left a 5-star rating. Larry P. said "Got my bun last week. At first I thought it might not look real as I have a few greys, but then my wife touched them up and I look well hot!! "
Hmm... sounds like a possible stocking stuff this holiday!
Be advised the piece is made of artificial hair, which means it should not be exposed to excessive amounts of heat, like a straightener.
