How to do the man bun, PROPERLY, for mid to long hair types.

The less you think about the steps as you do this, the better - it should be more of an instinctual process. The key is how much you pull through the elastic as you don't want it to be floppy or sag - you want it to sit high up on the head and be tight - and thus any extra you are going to want to wrap around - or you are going to want to fold the hair as you pull it through, so when you put it through the second loop of the elastic it keeps it all tightly bunched together. If the manbun starts to sag afterwards you have done it wrong - it should remain tight all day and allow you to swing your hair back and forth.

Wrapping the excess around the man bun base will allow you to deal with the excess without it showing, while still keeping a rather messy look - you'd think having really long hair would prohibit a nice tight manbun look but it does not.

Imo you don't want to start doing a manbun at the back of your head - this will strain the scalp hairs too much and can also cause premature balding as it can damage the front follicles - you want a spot on your head that equally strains ALL the hairs equally, so that no hair follicles have to bear the brunt of the weight - the position in the video shows the ideal spot.

So yeah, if you like these videos, let me know what else you would like to see or hear from me! :)
