Rover's answer was correct. When the hair is tied up in a similar way but with the knot concealed, it's called a bun. When a male wears one, it's called a man bun.

Can somebody please reopen this thread (https://www.usingenglish.com/forum/threads/270364-knob), because the only reply wasn't really very detailed?

I closed the thread because there is nothing more to be said now that you know it's not called a knob.

Yes, there are people who can reopen that one, but as Rover explained, there is no good reason to. (When I was a moderator I could reopen closed threads, but I only did it a couple of times.)

I added one more post just to nail down the point for Do228, and left the thread closed. Originally Posted by Rover_KE
