Shove the ponytail, guys, it’s the moment of the man-bun. Man-bun what? It’s a “questionably sexy hairstyle in which a man with hair of the medium to long (and usually greasy) variety secures said hair into a firmly rounded bun,” says Urban Dictionary. We say it just makes all men total #MCEmaterial (Man Crush Everyday, ya!). Team t2 pinterests the drool gang. 

2015: Game of Thrones won 12 Emmys you say? Sorry, we weren’t listening, so taken were we by the awesomeness 
of Peter Dinklage’s messy man-bun.

2015: If you want a tutorial on how to section your hair, look closely at Shahid Kapoor’s head. The guy’s got a neat job done... to work out in the gym! 

2014: With that man-bun, moustache and beard, Zayn Malik shed his boyhood — and his boy band soon after — to become this sexy man. Plus those limpid eyes... All’s forgiven!

2014: This was before Jared Leto’s wacky head became a sea of neon green. Give us the man-bun any day. And does he clean up well, and how! 

2014: Not the green-behind-the-ears Jack of Titanic, we love this Leonardo DiCaprio, the one sporting a man-bun and talking about loving Mother Earth at the launch of the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation. 

2013: You can’t ignore his goofy charm and Bradley Cooper’s cool quotient shot up with that high bun (no wonder he has a hot Irina Shayk all over him).

2011: And who but Shah Rukh Khan to start it all in Bollywood? Frowning into the distance in Don 2, King Khan never looked more raw. #YesPlease!

The ladies do it too

Alia Bhatt (above) sported hers while promoting Shaandaar with Shahid Kapoor; Lisa Haydon carried one when walking down the ramp at Lakme Fashion Week. What works for it? You don’t have to wait for your hair to grow to sport it. Just divide a section of hair at the crown, twist it into a bun and secure with a hair-tie. 
#t2StyleTip: When sporting the man-bun, it’s best to go boho. Bring on the colourful tasselled bags, fringe tops and jootis.
