You know that men's haircut where the sides and the back are shaved, then it's longer on top, and pulled into a bun at the back of the head? Why is that so popular?

Some comments from Facebook...

Because people like how they look with it? Does it matter?

Michael J. Murphy

It super matters to the people who have to look at it. (high fives Keith)

Graham Nolan

Thanks, Graham.

It makes your hair look like a wig, and I think that's nice.

Joey Stern

I guess it's easier than washing your hair?

Gerry Braun

Actually it looks like you just took off a wig. That's my new term for it: it's the I Left My Wig In My Car So It Wouldn't Get Messed Up Haircut.

Keith Marran

Not sure why it's popular, but it definitely inspires a lot of hate. http://www.buzzfeed.com/abagg/these-insane-vigilantes-decided-to-run-around-cutting-top-kn#.jnxbBklDo

It's part of the dresscode at the Male Geisha Training Society, a new nonprofit concubine arts center in Gowanus.

OMG. Cutting them off?! What's wrong with placing a wig on their head?

Keith Marran

Andrea Miklasz

The male geishas are called Guy-shas.

Graham Nolan

Antonios Arvelakis

When YOU do it, it's awesome!

Keith Marran

As someone who is obsessed with making his hair look like a wig, I don't mind saying that I only man-bun when e.g. the product in my hair hair has worn out and I need to get it out of my face.

Brian Chambers

I knew there were some practical reasons for it.

Keith Marran

People really hate it for some reason. And they will say so right to your face.

Brian Chambers

Also do not sleep in a man-bun or this:

Or do because that.

There's a difference between condoning a lifestyle vs supporting it.

In the end, I mostly worry about what kind of messages it sends to children.
