and high tiny pony tails that so many young men are sporting these days in the UK? Where the hell did that come from?

I like it.
however especially in summer, keeping your hair off your neck helps keep you a bit cooler

I take it you don't follow #ManBunMonday on Twitter or Instagram?

Wish I still had enough hair to do either...
It's sun hat Sunday here.

I associate it with bikers and the counterculture. Some cultures [Sikhs, for instance] frown on the idea of men cutting their hair at all. I imagine that those turbans are there to hide the piled-up hair that results.

SI. I found myself asking the same question just a couple of days ago.

And then I remembered that back in the 80's I had a ponytail (in the standard location.

What a I must have looked.

PP.

Of course, the benefit of having it in the standard location is that you never get to see it in a mirror......

I can't get on with twitter..too many twits. and can't see the point of instagram.It is just another social media trap..I have enough issues with FB and life is too short to add another..

Not that sort of bun. The style I'm talking about is being sported by young men who are clearly not Sikhs.

here's one

I've noticed that a number of men who work in restaurants or fast food outlets have buns which fit neatly under the hats that they are required to wear. They can let their hair down after hours, but it is easily hidden on work time.

I think that's not the man-bun hairstyles the OP was asking about.

It's a fashion thing. Dare I say it, probably a hipster thing. Anyone with long hair who has to put it up for work probably doesn't qualify.

yes, it´s a hipster fashion thing. young spaniards wear it too.

and bear, and big glasses... tatoos, colorful clothes or very plain clothes... couldn´t say accurately what is the hipster kit for self-decoration.

Spot on..

I think he´s a good specimen

I like it.

Saw a lovely guy on the train the other day with a man bun, beautifully sculpted beard, and a mid-calf length kilt and docs with fallen-down chunky socks. was there to stop me too much though

nice picture!
