Move Over Top Knot, The Man Braid Has Arrived

From: Queerty

There was a time when men’s hair style ranged from crew cut to side part, and not much else.

So no matter how you feel about man buns, pompadours or “angular fringe” (it’s a thing), just be glad there’s some variety out there.

And while mermen might not be your thing, maybe you’ll enjoy the man braid.

Because nothing says “I’m comfortable with my masculinity” like a French braid or a wreath of golden braided locks.

Either that, or the madness has gone too far.

I just saw an article on buzzfeed about these "man braids" taking over "man buns"... Not sure how I feel about it. What do y'all think?? Yay 👍🏼 or Nay 👎🏼 #hairstyles #hairtutorial #hairvideo #longhairdontcare #hairvid #hairvids #hairstyle #longhair #shorthair #hairdo #hairlove #hairvideotutorial #braids #braidvids #braidtutorial #braid #manbraid #manbraids #hair #hairpost #haircolor #hairtips #tips #hairidea #wedding #instahair #hairtwist #haircolour #summer #transformation
