Presidential Man Buns

These Photoshopped Illustrations Capture World Leaders With Long Hair

With the man bun craze on the rise, design firm DesignCrowd put together these photshopped illustrations of world leaders such as Barak Obama, George W. Bush and Abraham Lincoln displaying what the political figures would look like if they had buns on their head. The images are quite striking as they showcase well-groomed men sporting stylized longer hair.

DesignCrowd's photo manipulations are extremely realistic taking campaign and professional photos of current and former presidents from all eras and adding altering their looks to suit the mainstream hair movement. Obama rocks a Samurai-style bun with shaved sides and Bush seems to have some blonde highlights in his top-knot. The illustrations satire the style using photo manipulation to entice the viewer.

These images beg the question are man buns appropriate for official roles and the workplace?
