HairAI Studio.
Hair is long enough to gather into a bun at the crown or back of the head (8-12 inches minimum). The sides can be left natural or slightly trimmed. Create a neat, secure bun with some texture and slight messiness for a relaxed vibe. Include some loose pieces around the face for softness. The style appears masculine, trendy, and effortlessly cool.

The man bun is the men's high or low bun — long enough hair pulled fully back into a bun, often paired with a beard. The look mainstreamed through hipster/lumbersexual styling around 2013-2015 and has settled into the rotation since. It requires real length commitment; growing hair to bun length takes 1-2 years on most men.
It flatters oval and oblong faces — the gathered shape exposes the jaw and brow, which works on these shapes. Round and square faces can wear it but read top-heavier. Straight, wavy, and curly hair all wear it; the bun adapts to whatever texture is there. The cut beneath needs to be long enough to fully pull back — chin-length minimum, longer is better.
Low daily maintenance — pull back into a high or low bun with an elastic, takes 30 seconds. Trim every ten weeks to maintain the length. The man bun's peak cultural moment was 2013-2015 (the 'lumbersexual' aesthetic, the broader hipster styling); it has stayed firmly in rotation since as a general long-men's-hair default. Cut long enough to fully pull back (chin-length minimum); ask for long layers so it doesn't bun lumpy.
