Was thinking of keeping a man bun, will it be seen as unprofessional or unacceptable in audit?
I do know of some people who would disapprove of it, however, I fail to see the issue if my hair is in a neat condition all day.

If women can do it, men can do it. It's 2021 after all. I'd just snap back with "did you just assume my gender?" anytime someone commented.

Because gender identity is a serious issue for some people. They get bullied for it, made fun of, discriminated against etc. Not to mention the internal psychological struggle. And then seeing people just joke about it...kind of the same category as rape jokes.

My husband had the beard and man bun before quarantine for some time. Also worked at a conservative company and it was all fine. As long as it looks neat and taken care of, no one should care.

But the stages to get to the good man ban are rough looking 😂

Think these comments are pretty illustrative of the binary nature your hairstyle. Make an educated guess about where your supervisors lie (conservative or indifferent) and trim / bun it up accordingly!

Sincerely,
Your fellow quarantine man-bun companion

My fiancé has had a beard and man bun since quarantine started. Anytime he gets on camera for a call (after he has put it up in a man bun and used beard wax to help shape his beard) there’s a good 5-10 mins of banter and people making jokes. He’s been clear when someone tells him to get rid of it he will but so far so good

I’ll tell him now - lose the bun. Why guys want this look is beyond me.
