- Hey guys, and welcome to Episode Seven
of the Man Bun Monthly series.
If you couldn't already tell what's going on,
you're about to find out.
And yeah, welcome.
If you're brand new here, my name's Thomas,
and I make style and hair-related videos
every single week, so if that's your kind
of thing, make sure you hit the subscribe button.
And you are in fact watching my Man Bun Monthly series
at this point, and essentially what the series is about
is just getting a heap of man bun inspo,
and facts and tips and all things man bun,
and putting it into one series, so you guys can keep
your man buns looking their best.
Now, in today's video you can see
that I've got on this bench some fake man buns.
I don't know if you guys have seen these viral trends going
around at the moment, but, look, in the Facebook group
we always post really cool, quirky things,
and I saw in my moderator section, like, somebody had shared
a video featuring these weird looking things
in the group.
And I thought, okay cool, we'll approve it,
and not even kidding you, about 15 minutes
after that, another one, someone else shared it,
and I think it got shared about three times
in the group in total, and I went, "Okay,
"we gotta look at this and just see
"what the hell is going on here."
These man buns, if we take look at them,
I wasn't really sure what I was gonna
be expecting with these.
I mean they're just like a netted,
a piece of net that has all the hair stitched to it,
and the hair on them is probably about, I think
about three to four inches long.
There's nothing too crazy about them,
so they're actually not even a bun, essentially,
it's just kind of like a hairpiece.
And somebody has gone, "That would be a great viral trend."
And sure enough, it was, and that's how they're
in front of me right now.
So what we're gonna do in this video is
we're actually just gonna try them on,
and see what they're like.
I don't honestly know if I would recommend these
to anyone because they do look very fake
unless your hair colour is exactly the same
and straw-like, like what they are.
Then maybe it's your thing, but we're sussin
it out today.
Which one should we go with first?
The blond one or the brown one?
I think the blond one is the most interesting to me first,
because (laughs) I just have brown hair,
so it's gonna look very funny on my head.
Put my messy man bun in, so I've got all
these pins everywhere.
I didn't think about this before I jumped
on the camera today.
Let it out.
All this curtained hair.
My mirror's dirty again. (laughs)
All right, so what I'm planning to do with this,
if we have a look at the anatomy again,
we've got this little drawstring.
So once you actually cover and pin in the actual hairpiece,
you tighten it with the drawstring and it's supposed
to tighten it around whatever hair
you have sitting there.
So, I'm just gonna have a play around with it.
We'll put it in like a normal bun first.
I have a feeling my normal hair is gonna be
too big to even encompass this thing.
(laughing) It feels so funny.
I'm just clipping these in like that.
I actually haven't worn this thing properly yet,
so I have no idea how it's supposed to work.
And then we'll tighten that drawstring,
to go all around it.
(laughing)
What does it look like?
I can't eve see it.
Oh my God, it's so,
and then what are you meant to do with this thing?
Maybe like twirl it around, and pin it in, I guess.
(laughing)
Bah!
Side profile.
It's my, aw wait.
I don't even know what to make of this thing.
You can kind of see that top pin in there.
How does it flip around?
This thing is not on my wearable list.
Ha, ha, ta-da!
Well I don't know about it.
Maybe we'll try a high bun as well.
Like, I've gotta try all of these now.
Oh, my God.
(laughing)
It doesn't even look right.
Okay, so that's the blond one out of the way.
Already at this stage, not impressed.
Who else is actually finding humour out of this,
because I just can't believe.
No, get away.
All right, let's have a look at this brown one.
Very similar in shape, the brown one seems to be,
like, a lot chunkier and a lot puffier.
Again, kind of matches my hair colour.
I think my hair's little bit darker than this is, though.
Let's see what it looks like on.
We'll go for the normal again.
(laughing)
Ah, this one actually doesn't look too bad.
Why does the back look like that?
Hey.
Can yah actually see any of my real bun?
That actually doesn't look too bad.
Maybe not always, ah, the colour is so much different,
though, isn't it?
It's so much lighter.
I guess this one, like, if you could find a man bun fake
that matches your hair colour decently,
I guess you could really use it to help bulk it up a
little bit more, cause like, if you look at it,
my normal bun isn't actually that big.
Right on.
And from what I can tell in the mirror,
like it doesn't look too false.
Like it still looks like it could pass
as my normal hair, so... hmmmm.
On third thought, we just had another idea.
Why don't we try and do, seeing as we're here playing
around with these man buns.
Why don't we try and like to a three man bun hairstyle
or something like that.
Because I hate this blond one, I'm gonna put
it at the back, so I don't have to look at it.
I'm just thinking Facebook videos that have got music
and being done really quick, so it's like,
here, look at this. (electronic music)
Oh my God, wow, woov.
- [Offscreen Voice] That's okay, I got it.
I got it now.
(electronic music) - So we'll put
the first one here, the brown one, the biggest one.
Make it the most obnoxious. (laughs)
Fuck it, we're here.
May as well get my $40 worth out of it.
I got ripped off.
(laughs)
One was called the bun-hawk and it looked very similar
to this, like a mohawk made of buns.
This is just like the bun-hawk remastered, you know.
You've just gotta really get like a nice tight grip on it,
like, cause otherwise it'll look really bad.
And there you have it, so the bunhawk remastered.
See.
(laughing)
How's that back one look.
- [Offscreen Voice] It's falling apart.
- I actually hate these things to the moon and back.
Stupid little bun.
The more I'm playing around with this,
the more I wanna tell you do not get them.
And there you have it, guys.
The bunhawk remastered.
(laughs)
This is hilarious.
Let's be real.
It looks shit as fuck.
I know that.
But, look, I just thought it would be a little bit
of a fun gimmick to try these on and have a go of them.
I think I paid, like, I think, $11 per bun,
and then, like, $20 for the shipping,
so all-up it cost my like 40 bucks,
which, I'm not extremely happy about,
particularly because of the shipping,
but I'm not even gonna go into that, because, whatever.
But I thought it was cool,
and I'd really like to know your thoughts,
in the description box below,
as well, as if any of you have actually tried these,
because I honestly, even through that growing-out process,
if these were an option, I don't think
I would have ever reached for a thing like this.
Hopefully you got some laughter out of this
and we can all just sit back and, no.
Have a great week, and thank you so much
for coming back this month to watch
my Man Bun Monthly series, and I will see
you next month for the next episode.
Oh, make sure you leave comments telling me what
you'd like to see in the man bun series,
because I do have a lot of ideas
but I wanna prioritise them better.
I'm thinking like how to make a man bun
more masculine looking, could be a good way to go,
if any of you guys are interested in that,
you just have to let me know,
and I will make the magic happen.
Okay.
Thanks a lot guys, I'll catch yah later.
Bye.
(kissing)
(explosion effect)
Far better finish.
