Man bun styles: top knot, low bun, half-up

A man bun is long hair gathered and tied. These pictures show a top knot on long hair with an undercut, a low loose bun at the nape, and a half-up bun with the top half tied and the rest loose. Each is seen from the barber chair, in profile to show where the bun sits, and on a city street. You can type a change, such as with a beard, to ask for the style with it.

Frequently asked questions

Where does each bun sit?

The top knot sits on top of the head. The low bun sits at the nape. The half-up bun gathers only the top half of the hair.

Is the top knot shown with short sides?

Yes. The top knot is shown with an undercut.

Can I change the look?

Yes. Type the change and the picture is made with it. It is a request, so the result may differ from the sample.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
