Brigham Young University bans the man bun

Brigham Young University-Idaho’s Tyler Barton thinks that man buns — a source of consternation for hairdressers and Harvard undergrads alike —are “extreme,” and not in a good way.

BYU-Idaho’s student newspaper The Scrollhas reported that the university in Rexburg will ban the man bun, effective immediately.

“It’s just something that deviates from the norm,” Barton, a student honor administrator, told The Scroll.

Students who don the man bun, along with other hairstyles BYU administrators deem extreme, will receive “disciplinary action.”
