Someone Alert Harry Styles: The Man Braid Is Officially The New Man Bun

Then again, he's probably already heard.

Attention men of the internet because we have a trend update that might(but more probably mightnot) be set to shape the way you do your hair in 2016.

Yep, it's official: the man bun is out and man braids are in.

Basically this isgood news for any guys who've always felt a little left out when the girls are gawping over plaits on pinterest as men on Instagram are officially having a moment all of their own when it comes to fancy braids.

Granted you're going to need hair long enough hair to be able to French plait it to get in on this one, but if you've got nifty enough fingers, you'll only need it to be about three inches long.

As with most trends, it should be noted that generally very fashion-forward human Harry Styles was rocking the man braids as long ago as 2014, so it makes sense that now 2016 has hit, the rest of the world is just about catching up.

Oh well guys, you might not be able to commit to Rapunzel length locks like Harry, butat least there's always Photoshop if you're not up for growing out your hair.

Then again, maybe not.
