![]() Because, although it might not look like it, I spent ages trying to perfect this one. ![]() Perhaps lack of length was my problem, or my fingers are just too clumsy. He even advises which wrist to wear the ponytail band on while tying for optimal results. I’m doing an undercut man bun, all right? But this is how I’m doing to do it.” The elephant in the room swiftly dispatched, he talks in detail about the measurements required to achieve the look – “top hair” needs to be lengthy to make it into a bun his is a full 6½ inches. ![]() This YouTuber – great beard, great eyebrows, great man bun, obviously – accepts that his version of the ’do may be controversial to some: “I know a lot of people will say, this isn’t how you do a man bun. Men are trying to understand how to do a low fade, high fade, a short or long combover.” However, I would warn that the higher the fade, the worse it looks – the more evocative it becomes of a parakeet, or a fascist dictator, and nobody wants that. The search queries are getting longer and longer. According to former L’Oréal chief marketing officer turned Google managing director/global partner Marc Speichert (a resolutely short-back-and-sides man): “You see more and more sophistication around searches for combovers. I’m not sure that you really need a video tutorial on how to have a combover.īut perhaps I’m just not thinking about this one comprehensively enough. (Andrews is a professional and need not experiment he worked out long ago that he should comb to his right.) That said, while I like this look best, because it’s smart, business-like, greasily slick, possessed of a sinister air and stays in place, it’s pretty simple. The tutorial is slick – Andrews’ impressive cheekbones detract from the impermanence of the set (he is standing in front of a door) – and it wisely advises that you need to experiment to work out which side your hair falls on best to get this style right. It is also known as a classic side part, according to this pomade-centric tutorial by the extravagantly coiffured Joseph Andrews (Instagram biog: “ I love llamas”). According to YouTube, the modern combover is Don Draper, Harry Kane, maybe Alan Partridge at a push. ![]() So, the combover is no longer only for the bald. Here’s how my hair fared after I attempted some YouTube tutorials. Or perhaps the man bun is just something to be mocked ( yes, it is). Perhaps the man bun is something to be admired from afar, while the combover is something to place upon one’s head. And while there have been many more searches about the man bun, especially in the last year, there have been considerably more views of YouTube tutorials on how to achieve the perfect combover. Google announced this week that, for the first time, there were more searches for information about men’s hairstyles than women’s – 6% more, in fact – which makes sense, because beards are over and where else would the hipster look but upwards? More than anything, says Google, men are appealing for help on achieving two specific ’dos: the combover and the man bun. Or, if they are supposed to make your hair a mess, a just-got-out-of-bed disarray, they don’t really do that very well.īut I want to understand how to make my hair look nice – really I do – so it’s interesting to hear about the coiffured world of men’s YouTube hair tutorials. Most men’s styling products have an effect that is absolutely nothing like they’re intended to, and only make your hair a disgusting, gloopy mess. I ’ve never really known how to style my hair – honestly, I don’t think many men do.
