Sorry, Ladies, But Braiding Your Hair Is Now A Male Thing

@timonnimtz

In the world of men’s fashion, one thing in particular is becoming more and more popular at the moment: braided hair. Well-kept beards and tidy ’man buns’ are being replaced by ever more elaborate styles of braided hair which we usually only see being shown off by women. On Instagram, using the hashtag #ManBraid, like-minded enthusiasts upload new photos of their latest style almost every day.

So, this is Volcan Telica, one of Nigaragua's most active volcanoes. Since May 7th last year, it has had 66 small eruptuions, and some of the tour companies have stopped doing tours, but we found one. Looks quite peaceful from a distance, tho. #volcan #volcano #telica #volcantelica #leon #nicaragua #manbraid #blonde #yggdrasil #longship #tattoo #tattoos #viking #vikings #vikingstyle #fishtail #braid #adventure #explore #backpacking #travel #adventuretravel

This is my solution! To what though? Because the hair at the front of my hair is still to short to tie back?I had 2 solutions either taper the front which I didn't want to do or braid the shortest hairs at the front and tie back the rest. I think it worked out nice. This was just a rough try gonna get the braids done again a bit tighter and use either moisturiser, wax or gel to get the top looking as slick down as possible. #curls #naturalhair #men #menscurls #barber #creole #mauritius #missjessies #blackcurlyhair #blackhair #blackhairstyles #creolecurl #teammauritius #manbraid #manbun #braidsontop #braidsformen #braidstyles #braids #cornrows #teamnatural
