BYU-Idaho Bans The Man-Bun, And It’s Time For The Rest Of America To Follow Suit
10 years ago

The man-bun, a hairstyle once worn almost exclusively by men physically attracted to My Little Pony dolls, was recently launched into the mainstream by an even more perverted subset of the male gender: dudes who read Buzzfeed.

Now, onion-headed douchebags are everywhere you look on campus, strumming guitars, playing with their scrunchies, and kicking small beanbags at one another in a bizarre practice that I believe is called “sacky-hacking.”

Brigham Young University-Idaho has had enough. Well, we all have, but BYU-Idaho has vowed to send any man-bun wearers straight to hell.

From Scroll:

“We would consider the ‘man-bun’ to be an extreme hairstyle,” said Tyler Barton, Student Honor Administrator. “It’s just something that deviates from the norm.”

Barton said any hairstyle that is different or uncommon would fall under this same category, therefore receiving the same action.

“As part of the dress and grooming code, we commit to avoid extreme hairstyles,” said Kevin Miyasaki, Student Services & Activities Vice President. “A ‘man-bun’ would be considered not consistent with this standard.”

Well done, BYU-Idaho. Now it’s time for the rest of America to put the chop on the man-bun.

      I know this will not be popular on this website but yes I am a Mormon and yes I am in a fraternity. I love my religion and its beliefs and I actually served a 2 year mission but I’m not going to shove my religion in anyone’s face. I know some people think we have weird beliefs, which I would probably think too if I wasn’t one but let’s be honest, every religion and belief has weird things.

        Sounds perfectly American to me, and your service is appreciated. Nothing to dislike.

        I actually have real a question for you. (this is where having the forums would be nice)
        If Mormons are strict about “hairstyles deviating from the norm,” then why are the islanders (most of whom are Mormon) all allowed to rock serious flow?

        It’s a part of there culture. Many Mormons who are not islanders have long hair, it’s just the church schools don’t allow it. I went to BYU for a semester before my mission and one after and didn’t have a problem with it because I don’t have long hair. Because that’s been their culture for so long, they can get written off at BYU, same with them having tribal tattoos.

        So BYU, BYU- Idaho, BYU- Hawaii, and Southern Virginia University have stricter guidelines than does the church because they believe things like sex before marriage, drugs, and alcohol are all sins you can get kicked out for it. You’re not going to get kicked out for having a man bun, but they will tell you to cut it off. It’s just a very conservative place
