Buns are the perfect go-to style when you want to get your hair up and out of your face in seconds. And they're especially great when then weather isn't exactly hairstyle-friendly. 

Sometimes though, the finished result can look a little, well, sloppy. 

This can be a bother for many of us; all we want to know is the secret to a bun that's messy enough to be stylish but polished enough to be work-appropriate. 

Well, the answer is teasing. Teasing your hair before putting it up on your head is a must-do step in your styling routine. It will make your bun look so much better. 

Here's how to do it:

Divide your hair into two sections; top and bottom. You can secure the top with a clip while you follow the next step. 

Tease the bottom section with a long tail comb, then secure it with bobby pins. 

Twist the bottom section up to add a little bit of texture to your do'. 

Next, smooth the top section of your hair with a cushion brush.

To finish, roll the top section of hair around the bottom section to create your bun and secure it tightly with bobby pins. 

The teased bottom section adds support, ensuring that your style has both volume and stability!

Well, there is some bad news for the man bun enthusiasts out there.

A university in the US has banned the hair style from their campus as they say it is in violation of their Honour Code. Birmingham Young University in Idaho has some strict policies designed to keep students in line.

This means that for students their “dress and grooming standards are consistent with the teachings of Jesus Christ.”

The university’s code demands that all students keep their hairstyles “clean and neat”. They are instructed to avoid any extreme colours or styles. Men’s hair must also be trimmed above the collar to leave the ear uncovered.

Beards are a definite no-no.

THIS ABSOLUTE LIFE RUINER

Speaking to The Scroll, the campus newspaper, student services and activities VP Kevin Miyasaki said:

“As part of the dress and grooming code, we commit to avoid extreme hairstyles. A ‘man-bun’ would be considered not consistent with this standard.”

Any students who take the risk of donning a messy top knot or rock a sleek man bun face disciplinary action.

 

"It's just something that deviates from the norm," said Tyler Barton, of the BYU-Idaho Student Honor Administration, who added that they would consider the man-bun to be an “extreme” hairstyle.

Anita McPherson, who is a testing assistant at the BYU-Idaho Testing Centre, said that last semester, both male and female students who came into the testing centre wearing with a top knot were allowed to take their test. However they were reported to the Student Honour Office.

 

Kevin Miyasaki was reported as saying that “the Testing Center’s goal with every student who is not compliant with the Dress and Grooming Standards is to teach, clarify and promise them blessings for obedience.”
