Today in bizarre Instagram fads we weirdly can't look away from: bun dropping.
Bun dropping is a trend in which people with long hair -- usually women -- film themselves letting their hair down from a messy bun. No, there's not anything else. That's it.
But the footage, in all its silky glory, is strangely mesmerizing. It's like watching a particularly extreme hair commercial.

Sometimes, the videos are filmed in slow motion. Other times, they're set to music, so when the beat drops, the bun drops. Obviously!
