Man Bun Alert–Leave it to celebrities to make a trend spread like wildfire. After vacationing in Bora Bora with a spectacular updo, coined the man bun for the comedians out there, Leonardo DiCaprio has the trend back in the headlines. Offering a more practical and sometimes polished remix on long hair, the updo offers a different stamp on style, whether seen in the magazines or on the red carpet.
