I can't fucking get my ponytail or bun right for some reason, it either looks retarded, like it's too fucking tight like some hotel maid and it's pulling my scalp or it's too loose and it looks even worse and it still somehow manages to constantly catch and pull hair. I legitimately don't know how people handle this, I've had long hair for years now and only recently tried to pull it up in a bun and it's awful.Should I just cut it?
>>18720431extremely gay, get a man's haircut, faggot
>>18720442is it really that gay? I always thought a short crew cut was far more gay than just long hair.
>>18720431How long is your hair?Mine goes down past my tits.>pull hair back>fold in half and tie tight near the base, but not tight against my head, so it doesn't pull on my scalp>fold that loop of hair in half and tie that down with a new tie>repeat two more times
>>18720469it's about mid-back so probably around the same length as yours, maybe a little less than tit length.But you're using more than one tie? I just have a single elastic "no pain" hair tie but it fucking hurts all the goddamn time, like even now it's pulling bits of hair on the side and very top of my head it's driving me crazy.
>>18720476Yeah, I didn't explain that well, but I just use two ties, but I fold my hair over four times. Each tie handles two folds: fold hair, tie, twist tie, fold hair, use same tie to hold this second fold, grab a new tie and fold hair again, tie, twist tie, fold hair one last time, use same tie to hold it all together.I use Goody brand ouchless ties because that's what they sell at my grocery store.
>>18720481Thanks for that, I think I know what you're talking about so I'll try it how you're describing, thanks again.
the man bun looks horrible. i don't understand why it persists. you look bad. you need to stop.
>>18720476For me, all the ties either hurt because they pulled hair or would slip off. Chopstick through the bun works for me. Holds it up all day if I'm not doing anything with a lot of jumping, like playing sports.
>>18720525>i don't understand why it persists.I'll tell you why I have one:>gave up on looking good because no woman has ever been interested in me>not as bad as bad hair days while having shorter hair that can't be tied back>some people may not realize that you've completely given up and instead style your hair in a manbun because you like it>long hair sucks up more grease before looking like a greasewad as long as you just brush your hair once a day: i.e. fewer showers a week>can let hair down on cold days in the winter to stay warm
>>18720431Maybe it's a sign you need to GET A HAIRCUT
>>18720431Use 2 hair ties, one to fix the ponytail where u want it, and the other to make the ponytail into a bun.
>>18720442>short hair>masculineneither long or short hair are inherently more masculine than each other. they represent different aspects of masculinity. long hair represents strength, liberty and rebelliousness while short hair represents discipline, servitude and strictness.>>18720525its for the days i don't want to wash and style my hair or when i'm planning on doing athletic activities anon. my fine blonde 2a hair looks amazing if i have an hour to wash it out, put product in it and blow dry it but it looks like total shit if i just roll out of bead with grease and sweat in it and my hair all matted down from my pillow.the man bun is also useful for when you also have to periodically remind the people around you that you're not hiding a receding hairline when you have long hair.>>18720585>long hair sucks up more grease before looking like a greasewad as long as you just brush your hair once a day: i.e. fewer showers a weeki wish my hair was like that. low porosity bros its over. >>18721043try different types and thicknesses of hair ties too. i use different ones depending how long my hair is.
>>18720525Because I like having long hair but sometimes need it to not be in my mouth
>>18720431Buns are for when you're working and don't give a shit about looks... you just need it out of the way.When you want to be pretty, let it down for that flowing mane look.Ignore the "get a haircut" fags. People with short hair love to say that because people with long hair have something to lose, and people love to see other people lose things.
