It is Back-to-School season, and some days you will wear your hair down in gorgeous curls... but it will get hot in Math class! All you have is an extra pencil. What can you do to cool down?
Create one of these Pencil Buns!
All you need is a pencil, and any one of these bun ideas will work perfectly! It will look super cute, too!
I prefer to have curls as the base on these, because the add texture helps the bun hold easier, but I created them on straight hair because I wanted you to see that they could be done.

Hey Everyone I'm Mindy from CuteGirlsHairstyles and today I'm going to teach you guys how to do 30-second pencil buns. Now, since we are in back-to-the-school mode and we are getting things going - I'm going to use these trusty little No.2 pencils to show you all of the cool, quick messy buns that you can do in school, with nothing more than a pencil. Now for the first bun. I'M going to show you we are just going to do a basic bun.. I am going to start by making sure I have a couple little wispy's down in front so that its not all `` too'' pulled back and then I'm going to grab the remainder of my hair and just finger-comb it back.. Now remember we are doing this as though we are sitting in school in class., So you are only going to use your fingers and your pencil. Now when you get it positioned where you want it, I'm going to go ahead and start twisting and forming a bun.. Like this ..., then I'm going to take my trusty pencil and your going to go downward on one side and then your going to kind of weave up and down a little bit as you go through the bun until you pop it out the other side.. And then let it go ... and you have a bun For the second bun. You are going to take your ponytail And I like this one kind of lower at the nape of my neck. I'M going to take my pencil and I'm going to lay it on the left side of my hair and wrap my hair around the pencil.. Now, if you have longer hair like mine, you are going to double-wrap it, but if you have shorter hair, you can just do it. Once. Now you're going to take the pencil and twist it so that the point is now at the top of your head and you're, going to flip the pencil.. Make sure you don't scratch your scalp and you're going to go down through your hair. Until you can almost feel the point coming out right there and then you'' re going to release For the third bun. I like it up a little higher. So I'm going to ... go just a little bit higher this time. And I'm going to repeat like we did on the first bun, which is you just create a bun with your hands. And when you get to this stage, instead of going side to side like We did on the first one I'm going to start right on the bottom with my pencil and I'm going to work it through the middle of the bun and when the pencil is up at the top, then I'm going to take it and give it a little Tug to loosen things up and then flip it And push it back straight down through the hair., And you want to try to do it as evenly as possible. And then when you can feel the pencil just barely popping out. You are done. Ok guys! Let'S do the final spin .... This is bun number three and its pretty secure like it's going to stay in, So here's a trouble-shooting tip for you. Make sure when you pick your pencil that you pick one that does not have any cracking around the wood right here next to the led. And Also, it helps if your lead isn't too sharp that way it doesn't scratch as it is going in. And it works on all different hair types. Curly hair is my favorite to do these on because it actually helps hold the styles a little tighter, the texture. Straight hair layers, medium hair, anything will work and be sure to Like Comment and Subscribe, And by the way, did you guys know that we stay on Our channel after we post for 1 hour, We call it our `` Power Hour'' and we answer comments.

Comments
Whitney Sews: So cool to see the variations. I had very long hair in high school and would do the first style all the time. I would use a pen instead of pencil though and put the pen cap back on once it was in my hair.
indzi 101: Im watching this vid cuz of Money Heist(La Casa De Papel) and cuz of the inspection lolll
Jin's Dad Jokes: I did this at school and my friends were like wtf are you doing and I'm just like "DOING MY HAIR WHAT DO YOU THINK IM DOING STABBING MY HEAD WITH A PENCIL???"
Bon2994: Then someone comes along and pulls the pencil. That's something that my friends would do.
mu2thehotness: As a guy trying to grow long hair, this video just seemed like a cool magic trick. I jaw-dropped at each of the final step and reveal. LoL.
Bhavana Gupta: Thank you so much. I've been trying for a bun since a week and this one was so easy and pretty! I love you !
Ary Tan: I always do this in class. And once the day ends and I remove the chopstick, ta-da! Instant curls. And yes I'm Asian. :))
SeoniKauna: Hey CGH I tried this tutorial. I have extremely long hair. The first one didn't quite work for me (I probably did it wrong) but the other two worked great! So thanks! This will come in handy especially when I'm in chemistry and I forgot a hair tie on lab day.
Nandini Mazumdar: amazing tutorial!! never learnt to do a hair bun this quick in my life, I have curly hair so the hair never stays in place without scrunchies and even then it gives a funny flat dumpling shape, but this one, I tried the inverted pencil bun and it's staying perfectly. Thanks a lot!
Natalie M: I love this! Great to do during school when you can't do anything else!
Eugenia Argyropoulou: I love it! It's so much easier to put my long hair in band in art and science classes :) Thank you so much
Margaret Spiffe: I love this channel, both for the easy, DIY friendly hairstyles and the amazing family that runs it. Please keep posting; ill keep posted!
Emma: Tip on getting the perfect pencil tip: I like to use the number two pencils that are painted black (better quality I think). I also like to use a good quality hand sharpener instead of an electric one. Great video!
PhotoNisha: Really very easy steps for making these useful buns. Prior to watching this video I hardly could make any bun myself but yes after watching this I am able to do all three :) . Thanks for sharing.

MamaKat: omg, I so used to do that 2nd one (inverted) on myself all the time... sometimes I used a pen instead of a pencil, though :D Great tips for those teens and college students who can do this on themselves when they just want their hair up (also good idea to keep some extra elastics in your locker, too :D )
Lovisa Thoren: I really like this ones! Can you do more hairstyles to keep the hair away from the face and neck? :) Thank you so much for all tutorials, real lifesavers! ;)
Sabrina Fackler: Hi, I'm new to the channel - great video! I used to have my hair braided back all the time in school and now I'm just starting to see what I can do without braiding them. Have you done anything on hair combs (the pretty stuff to finish elaborate braiding updos and so on) yet? Maybe I just haven't seen it, but I've been looking into buying some of those and wanted to know if anyone has experience with where to buy them from/which ones can be recommended :)
