There are also no rules to "how to make a dread bun" you can play around with your dreads and invent your own style as long as your dreads are long enough to form a bun. Or you can just watch youtube videos and see how other dreadhead make dread buns and get inspired.



Dread bun Style one:
I have seen many dreadheads doing it this way

• First put your dreads in a high ponytail using an elastic headband, this will allow you to gather them all into a single bunch.
• Then twist your dreads from roots to ends while forming a cercle around the headband.
• Secure your bun by tucking the tips of your dreads under the headband

Dread bun Style two:
This is the easiest one to do, just get your dreads only half way through the headband, it will automatically form a bun, you will still have your dreads down a little bit but that way they will be less annoying and they can not reach your face.

Dread bun Style three:
This one works only for very long dreads, and will need some practice, it is similar to dread bun in style one but without using a headband. twist your dreads form a cercle and secure just by tucking each dread under the bun you are forming. It may not look very secured but I have seen people doing it without any headbands and it doesn't fall off.

Man bun Hairstyle

How to have a man bun hairstyle:

first of all, your hair must be long enough to form a bun, it doesn't have to be very long just long enough, you may use a natural hair cream and blow dryer.. then the rest is quiet obvious, anyway here is a video tutorial on youtube about how to get the man bun or short curly / wavy hair:

What's a bun?

A bun is a type of hairstyle wherein the hair is pulled back from the face, twisted or plaited, and wrapped in a circular coil around itself, typically on the back of the head or neck. A bun can be secured with a barrette, bobby pins, a hair stick, a hairnet, and/or a pencil. Buns may be tightly gathered, or loose and more informal.

Man bun?

The term "man bun" is a term used to describe long-haired men who do not wish to sport the traditional trend of short back and sides. Men with long hair tend to use this style for practicality and heat relief rather than a particular fashion or trend. The style has came under small debate mainly by pseudo masculinis who see the neutral look as rebellious to The Social norms.

But man bun is not a one specific haircut or hairstyle.. there are many hairstyles that that people call man bun the most popular ones of them are:

Full man bun: long hair on all sides, pulled back into a large high bun

Low man bun: Same as full man bun, but the position o the bun is lower on                         the head

Top knot: A smaller back bun using only the hair on top of the head, side                       hair is shaved or just clipped

The pineapple: Similar to the top knot but the bun is in the center of the top                       hair, the pineapple bun is quite small

The undercut: Similar to the top knot except that there's no bun, just a                               smaller shoot of hair that looks like a micro ponytail

Samurai bun: Long hair on all sides but only the top hair is pulled back to                          form a bun, the rest of the hair is left like it is.
