I receive so many requests for hairstyles that you can do on yourself, especially for moms who work or career women in general.
There are many styles that I do on myself in a pinch, that take literally 3-5 minutes to do. This Ponytail {Gibson} Tuck is one of the easiest! All you do is finger-comb your hair back into a ponytail, but on the last twist of the elastic... you pull the ponytail half way through.
Feel free to tag your own photos of this hairstyle with: #CGHPonytailTuck
Then you twist the ponytail/bun so that the ends flip up. Simply create a hole at the base of the ponytail {like you would if you were to flip the ponytail with a Topsy Tail} and begin stuffing the ponytail through the hole.
The result is a very simple, yet sophisticated hairstyle that is perfect for the office, or simply to wear around!
Enjoy!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, 1 hairband, 2-3 bobby pins, hairspray {if desired}
Time Requirement: 3 minutes
Hey guys., I'm Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles., And this morning we are going to film a hairdo, I'm calling the ponytail tuck.. So we're back in my bathroom for this video, because I'm doing it on myself and I love my mirrors.. So we're going to use those and that's going to help me get this hairdo done., But this is a great hairdo fantastic for work. If you're needing to run out the door., We all have those days where we wake up. We're out of time. We don't have time to shower wash our hair. Or it's day, two or day three like mine, is this morning., So we just want something we can pull back quickly.. This is the perfect hairdo.. So, as you can see, I have lots of layers in my hair., Like I said before this is day three of me, not washing my hair., So I need something that's going to be kind of pulled back, because it's not looking as good as it usually does. Just down., So I'm going to begin by taking an elastic, pulling my hair back into a ponytail. And we don't want it too slicked back or anything.. You can see, I'm just finger combing., But you can do it anyway. You like. I'm going to go ahead and just kind of tug on a few spots to make sure my ponytail's loose so that it doesn't look too tight.. I'M going to take my elastic and on my last twist of the elastic I'm going to only take the hair halfway through like so., And then I'm going to take the hair and just flip it. So the ends are now sticking up instead of down. And again. This is a good opportunity to kind of fix anything you're, not loving on the ponytail part.. So now you're going to just take your fingers through those ends., Take them and sort of make a little hole down in your hair. The best you can. And then you're just going to take those ends and start to tuck them into that little hole that you just made. And when your ends are all tucked, then you're just going to go ahead and tuck the ponytail down as well.. So you might have to kind of work it a little bit depending on how much hair and how big the hole is. You made et cetera until it's all pretty much flipped inside out.. Now I'm going to turn around really fast. And I'm going to take a bobby pin because you obviously can still see my elastic a little bit and I don't love this triangle. Looking thing space., So we're just going to give it another little tuck., And then I'm going to take these ends and grab my bobby pin and just stick that down in here. Hide it best I can. And that one actually, you can see a little too much for my taste., That's better., And so there you have a nice --. You can go ahead and fix, poke or add more bobby pins as needed until you like it., And there you go., You have a nice little twisted hairdo that looks great for work and is super easy and quick and took no time. Whatsoever. Hope you guys enjoy and we'll see you later

Mel: Thanks for this! I always do mine with the loop thing but I've never thought of tucking it in. I think with a nice comb this will be good for prom too! :)
Hannah Sterner: Oh wow!! I love this one! So easy and very quick and it also looks great too!
mrs32509: Absolute genius idea!!!! I immediately tried it as I was watching, I too am on day 3 of not washing my hair, woman you just cut my hair styling time for this beautiful Saturday morning by a good 45 minutes!! You're heaven sent! & Keep em coming please!!!! Many continued Blessings to you and yours!!!
theAisle14panda: Tried it; simplicity of this is mind-blowing. Thanks! I've been looking for hairstyles that are semi-formal, fast, and don't require much in the way of supplies, since I often go to work straight after class. For those of you with longer hair like mine (around waist-length), try making the ponytail higher on your head; this seemed to help. This is great for those of us who usually wear their hair completely down, since it still feels comfortably loose, but keeps hair out of your face. :)
gymnprep: Oh I love this! I was trying to do a cute hairstyle for today, and I think this is going to work well. :)
Loveless90105: Thanks so much for making this:) I really needed something different for school and such, and this works great!
bicool123: I love this hairstyle! It's inspired me to make my own version of this! Thanks!
Julia Meows: More hairstyles for work please :) I'm studying at a hotel school and I have to wait tables twice a week and the usual bun is starting to get boring and fancy up-dos are just not it. This is absolutely perfect :D If you have more please share !!! :D
Mindy McKnight: Thanks so much for recommending us to your friends! That was so sweet! I will see what I can do about the French Twist!
laauraqw: Definitely trying this for work tomorrow! I have to have my hair pulled back, and this looks much nicer than a boring old pony tail, but pretty much just as quick!
Peace&Quite: Thanks for this tip! I tried it on myself and I love it! ♥
TheNails3: This is awesome! I have really long hair but it still worked perfectly and looks great! :) Thanks!
Caitlin Hoyt: No joke this video just changed my life. I was getting ready to chop off all my hair, but this is exactly what I needed to keep it long. Thank you!!!
MissP: Watching this in 2019 the twins channel was in trending and it led me here afterwards. Absolutely loving these hair ideas, particularly the ones on you Mindy (not sure this will even be read by you but anyway)....I have super long boring hair and this will work perfectly just to give it something else instead of pulled back into a pony/rolled into a low bun
Agnes: just tried doing this on myself and its so easy and holds up great!! thank you so much! :D
Piou0102: Wow, thank you so much! :D I'm really bad at doing my hair and stuff, but this looks so good, and is easy enough for me to do!
jimbles1013: I wore my hair to school like this today and I really liked it! It's so easy and it looks wonderful.
Lilyannabell: I may try this out for work when I go back after Easter. I normally wear my hair like you had it before you tucked it all in so it's just an extension on what I already do so shouldn't be to hard. Thank you for this simple but effective style.
Fl4dd3rm0uz: I ADORE this tutorial! 1 it is really fast, 2 your hair can be anything from shoulder long to down to the end of your shoulder blades (or maybe even longer with some modifications?) and it still works, 3 you can wear it ANYWHERE 4 if you like it messy you won't even need a bobby pin. Thank you for this versatile hairstyle tutorial!
Allyson Rose: thank you so much for this. I Did this hair style on the first go :) this is great for me because its summer in australia and i hate having my hair on my neck when its summer. so this is super cute.. and glamorous, and something different to the normal ponytail. Thank you so much.
mysteriousminx: Wow! So cute. Definitely going to try this. I've seen other people with this hairstyle before and it looked difficult to accomplish, but it looks so easy when u do it!
Amy: I love this! I have shoulder length hair and can't do a lot of hair styles on youtube, but this is amazing! Absolutely love!
Sandy: This is very helpful and easy to learn, thanks!
OutlawsSweetness: So going to try this - probably wear it tomorrow for work, thanks for the idea!
AJHui: This is so great for me especially as a nursing student. I have 8 hour clinicals (7am-3pm) and this keeps my hair up and out of my face and out of the way. Thank you!
Mikayla Vesztroczi: love it! perfect for my serving job!
mcg267: So pretty! I struggle with my hair. I hate to do the same thing with it every day, but I also don't want to spend an hour on a hairdo. This is perfect and beautiful.
Valerie Meyers: I have struggled with the Gibson Tuck for ages. THIS! THIS is the way to do it! Thank you!

meowzer3: i love this style !! and it will work for my short layered hair!! yayy thank you soo much for sharing your talent and teaching us less talented like me lol <3
Julianna Dimmick: My mother did this to my hair when it was upper-mid back length, but instead of flipping the hair from the bun up, she kept it down. So when she tucked the bun in I had little tendrils or fluffy, fun pieces of hair sticking out the top. It was really cute and great for younger people! Hope you like this idea -3
Melissa brooks: I just tried this hair style and i love how it looks it so easy.

Mindy McKnight: I can do it on my girls just fine. It just makes a bigger bump. Consider making a bigger pocket, flattening out hair by rolling it up into a ball, or putting ponytail up higher to begin with for longer hair. OR add a hair accessory to help balance out the bigger bump.

icecansing: Did anyone else think, "What?!" when the hair disappeared? I hope this works with longer hair! I'll try it tomorrow (: Thanks Mindy!
