Have you ever been in a situation where you desperately needed to put your hair up but didn’t have a hair tie handy? Fear not, my friends! With a little ingenuity and a common household item, you can achieve a ponytail or bun without a trace of frustration. Enter the mighty pencil—an unsung hero in the world of hair styling. Grab a pencil and a mirror, and let’s embark on a magical journey to tame those tresses.
The first step is to gather your hair into a ponytail or bun as you normally would. Once you have your hair in place, wrap a small section of hair around the base of the ponytail or bun to secure it. This will create a base for your pencil to rest upon. Now, take your pencil and insert it through the base of the hair that you wrapped around the ponytail or bun. Ensure that the pencil is positioned horizontally and that it runs parallel to the hair elastic or bobby pins (if you’re using them).
Next, cross the ends of the hair over the pencil, creating an X shape. Take the left strand of hair and wrap it around the pencil, going over the right strand. Then, take the right strand of hair and wrap it around the pencil, going over the left strand. Repeat this process until you have wrapped all of the hair around the pencil. Secure the ends of the hair with a bobby pin or hairspray, and voila! You’ve successfully put your hair up with a pencil. Now, go forth and conquer the day with your newly styled locks, knowing that you have mastered the art of hair styling with unconventional tools.
How to Put Hair Up with a Pencil
Putting your hair up with a pencil is a quick and easy way to get your hair out of your face. It’s also a great way to add a little bit of style to your look. Here’s how to do it:
- Start with clean, dry hair.
- Brush your hair to remove any tangles.
- Gather your hair into a ponytail at the crown of your head.
- Secure the ponytail with a hair tie.
- Take a pencil and insert it into the hair tie, just above the hair tie.
- Wrap the hair around the pencil, starting at the ends and working your way up.
- When you reach the top of the hair, secure the hair with another hair tie.
- Remove the pencil.
You can now style your hair as desired. You can leave it down, or you can put it up in a bun or ponytail.
People Also Ask
Can I use a pen instead of a pencil?
Yes, you can use a pen instead of a pencil. However, pens are not as thick as pencils, so you may need to wrap the hair around the pen more times to get a secure hold.
What kind of hair tie should I use?
You can use any type of hair tie that you like. However, elastic hair ties are not recommended, as they can damage your hair.
How long will my hair stay up?
The length of time that your hair will stay up depends on the type of hair you have and how tightly you wrap it around the pencil.
