It may be the most seen hairstyle in libraries and offices in this country . You're studying or working, overwhelmed, surrounded by highlighters and a stack of papers, and suddenly your hair becomes your worst enemy. It falls on your face and weighs you down more and more. You look in your wrists, in the pockets of your jeans and even in the case and drawers, to see if the flute sounds but nothing, not even a trace of a hair elastic … What are you doing? Well, you take a pencil, give it a few turns and 'nail' it to hold the mane. That's it, saved.
That hairstyle, an undone, casual bun that you thought was an emergency lifesaver but with which you wouldn't go out on the street or dead, now it goes viral. Well yes, now the pencil bun has become the most sought after look, everyone wants to do that hairstyle. And it seems that it is precisely that disheveled appearance that triumphs the most. What is the reason?
La Casa de Papel is to blame , more specifically Raquel Murillo, the character played by Itziar Ituño in the series. The launch of the last season in which this character is seen to pick up his hair only with a pencil - and which he also does in previous seasons - is inspiring a multitude of social network users who have started to imitate her.
So if you already had the technique, congratulations because there is no hairstyle that is easier to do and that requires less material. But if you are one of those who tried a thousand times and, either because you have too much hair or it is very straight, the invention could not hold for even half a second on their site, you may be interested in seeing these tutorials that are invading TikTok and that they have already gone viral.
The technique does not really have too much mystery but it is true that in thicker manes, due to its own weight, or if you have freshly washed hair, it can be difficult to hold. The trick in these cases is to tighten well , so that it is rather taut, it will already loosen on its own and create that disheveled effect that favors so much.
