Although the man bun is typically associated with longer hair, it is possible to create a stylish bun even if you have short hair. In fact, a well-styled man bun can add a touch of sophistication and style to your look, regardless of your hair length. Here are some steps to follow to make a man bun with short hair.
- Start with clean hair
Begin by washing your hair with a clarifying shampoo to remove any excess product buildup or oils. Towel dry your hair until it is damp, but not dripping wet.
- Apply styling product
Apply a small amount of styling product, such as a texturizing spray or pomade, to your hair. This will help give your hair some grip and hold, making it easier to style.
- Gather your hair
Use your fingers to gather your hair at the back of your head, where you want to create the man bun. If your hair is very short, you may need to gather it into a small ponytail or half-ponytail.
- Twist and wrap your hair
Take the section of hair you’ve gathered and twist it tightly, creating a rope-like structure. Once you’ve twisted your hair, begin wrapping it around itself, creating a bun. If your hair is too short to wrap around itself, use a hair tie or elastic band to secure the bun in place.
- Secure with a hair tie
Use a hair tie or elastic band to secure the bun in place. Be sure to wrap the band around the bun several times to ensure it is secure.
- Tame any flyaways
If you have any flyaways or loose strands of hair, use a small amount of hairspray or pomade to smooth them down and keep them in place.
- Style your beard (optional)
If you have facial hair, take the time to style it as well to create a cohesive look. Comb your beard or mustache and use beard oil or balm to keep it looking neat and groomed.
In conclusion, making a man bun with short hair is possible with a little bit of patience and some styling products. Start with clean hair, apply styling product, gather your hair, twist and wrap it, secure it with a hair tie, tame any flyaways, and style your beard (if you have one). With practice, you’ll be able to create a stylish and sophisticated man bun that is perfect for any occasion.
