How to Style Man Braid Hairstyles
Now that you’re an expert on the man braid, it’s time to put your skills to the test. Whether you try a high bun or want to show off a new hair color, there are so many ways you can start incorporating simple braids into your everyday style. Keep scrolling for all the man bun inspo you’ll need:
1. Accessorize
Take your braids up a notch by pulling that longer top layer up into a man bun. We love how beads look scattered throughout braids!
2. Try a Half Man Bun
Pull those braids back into a half-man bun for a casual yet trendy look. This half-updo style is also a perfect look for days when you want your hair out of your face, but don’t necessarily want to wear all of your hair up.
3. Go Lighter
Take this as an excuse to lighten up your strands and try some shaggy blonde braids. If you have a darker skin tone, the blonde is a nice contrast against it.
4. Part Up
Grab the top section of your braids and pull them back into a part-up. This style is great for the hotter seasons when you want to keep your hair up and out of your face. For a deep cleanse before braiding your hair, use SheaMoisture Men Tea Tree Oil & Shea Butter Havana Hurrican 4-in-1 All-Over Wash.
5. Man Braid Messy Bun
It doesn’t get any easier than a messy bun. Throw your hair up into a bun and don’t stress about how it sits—the messier the better here!
6. High Ponytail
Give your look some height with a statement-making high ponytail. We love how the braids add texture to a classic updo.
7. High Bun
Alternatively, you can wrap your braids up into a high bun. This is a voluminous look that adds style, but it is still practical. Whether you’re a braiding newbie or your just looking for new ways to style your braids, this is a look that works for so many people.
