Hi all,
Well, i work for UPS puttin boxes in trucks and was recently offered a promotion into management. The only catch was that i had to cut my hair. I talked the guy into letting me wear it in a bun. I guess my question is, does anybody know any "manly" ways of wearing your hair in a bun?(eg, so that it doesn't go past my shoulders)
Will they allow you to tuck it up under a hat?
i dont think they let you wear hats, but ill ask.
I put my hair in a high ponytail. I then braid the pony tail and wind the braid around the base of the ponytail and pin it down. This is easy to do and looks neat. The result is a braided bun.

well if its just supposed to be above shoulder,, start like you were going to wear a pony tail,, run through once, then on the second or third (depending on tightness of band or thickness of hair) only pull halfway to 3/4's through and stop. It will cause the hair to loop, and should bring it up a bit, unless your hair is like down to your ass. ;)
I am a low manager in an insurance company and I wear a bun opposite my chin almost daily (I do work with a majority of women). Simply twist your ponytail and pin your twisted tail to your head, or wrap your ponytail to your heead with a scrunchie. A bun is efficient, professional and appropraite. Go for it!
I also wear my hair in abun for work.I like the why it looks so much I wear my hair in a bun on the weekends I wear every type of bun out there femine or not

Steve,
I love how long hair looks in a bun. I also like other up dos as well.
Tell me about the different ways you wera your hair up.

Steve,
What line of work are you in? I began wearing a bun after certain comments were made about my hair. Now, people at work only comment-but not negatively-that I look strange without it in a bun.
I wear my hair freely or in any style that is convenient//suitable to my daily surroundings/activities, but at work most always and most neatly and most suitably in a classic bun.
I work for a bank My boss likes my hair in a bun or some type of udo rather then having a ponytail or just all over the place. My ears are pierced and I wear diamonds in my holes 1/2 carots.One day my boss said I sould think about wearing hoops with my hair up in a bun to comple the look.I love wearing a BUN
Steve,
I love a bun too. My bun and my earrings have distracted attention from thee length of my hair. Do you work with the public face to face or only via phone/email? Is your boss male or female. The two higher managers I report to are both women, as are my/their collegues. They all like my bun, which I pin athwart my chin. I also wear earrings (fashion) 7 days a week (I wear a bun most of the time), and my earrings are often large button earrings (cheap gold plated or colored plastic) which well accessorize my clothing (and distract attention from my hair.) I have grown to feel so comfortable with large earrings that I wear them on weekends & evenings-at all times but in shower, in bed, & and the phone.
John Both my boss are woman very open minded .I work face to face with th public. I also like button wearing earring one of my boss gave me a pair of button earring for my birthday ang macthing neckles I love the attention I get from the hair styles and earrings I wear to work. In the past couple of week I started accessorizing my cloths and shoes to look better.Last night at the mall I had my ears pierced two more times.The sales girl that pierced my ears loved the way my hair looked up in a bun.It was the first time she pierced a males wearing button earrings and his hair in a bun. She sold me some french twist combs.This weekend Iam having my hair put into a french twist.Its time to try something new. My boss told me I should have my nails done and wear nice rings.I have a week of coming up I think I will have my nail done then What do you think about men wearing shoes with heels
Steve:
Although I am not about to wear buy and wear a pair of high heels or am not about to grow long nails, if you would like to and and can do it be my guest and enjoy them as best as you can.
I really have a love of long hair. I love to pull out hair pins from my bun every evening, and have my hair cascade upon my shoulders. An aunt who raised me also thought I would enjoy earrings. I wear many of her button earrings which she bought back in the eighties. (I do have a few pairs of white large pearl & black large cultured pearl earrings which are so jumbo, that they are obvious-too obvious-with my hair down. I also have large meatal/silver colored/gold plated (cheap) squares, together with jumbo gold disks almost fist size which my aunt bought bought for me in the mid nineties. These earrings are huge even when covered with hair.
Keep growing & enjoy
