Mums hilarious snaps show son, 8, before and after full day at school

An eight-year-old boy begged his mum for a "man bun" hairstyle before returning to school – but it didn't quite last all day.

Kim Tate, 27, from North Wales, says her son became obsessed with the 'do when they went shopping in Home Bargains.

Guto – who has ADHD – spotted an employee rocking a man bun, which is a hairstyle that's shot to popularity in the last decade.

And the primary-school aged boy decided that he wanted in on the trend.

Despite not yet being a man nor having enough locks to fit into the wispy up-do style, Guto decided to sport the daring look for school photo day.

"Guto has ADHD, he has always been different," mum Kim told us in an exclusive interview.

"He first saw interest in the hair style when we were at Home Bargains and a man working behind the till had a man-bun.

"So, he asked me later on if he could grow his hair out for a man-bun."

Although Kim wasn't keen on Guto's hair inspiration, the parent wanted to let the lad "express himself".

So on school photo day, the mum used "plenty of Vaseline and hairspray" to make sure it stayed in place.

However, it didn't go quite to plan and the bun lost it's slicked back look and structural integrity.

"I wasn’t keen because I didn’t think it would suit him to be honest," Kim admitted.

"But wanted to let him express himself so he grew it out.

"The day of the school pictures I just knew when he came out of school with his hair like that the school pictures was going to be hilarious.

"Definitely one for his 18th birthday!"

Kim shared the series of photos on a Facebook group, which went viral back in 2021.

Many people praised the boy for rocking the man-bun – and others applauded the mum's parenting skills.

And despite some parents being strict about hairstyles, Kim didn't run into any probolems.

She shared: “School approved of his hair and there were no concerns."

Now 10-years-old, Guto still loves to have longer hair but has ditched the man bun phase.

He current sports a perm style – and his hair endeavours are continually supported by mum Kim.

She added: “He still prefers long-ish hair but shaved sides."
