Does this count as a bun?

[Monkey962]

Whilst in the shower, I was thinking about simple ways in which I could put my hair up afterwards - simple enough that I could actually do it. I've tried doing updos before, but they always fell apart. I'm probably never going to use this out of the house, but I will after showers definitely.

I would imagine some of you don't approve of using a pencil as a hairstick, but I haven't any, and I just grabbed the most hairstickiest thing that was near me.

I think you did a good job, And yes it is a bun :) in my opinion

Looks like a bun to me. Nothing wrong with using writing utensils to hold your hair up. That way you always have one on you.

[Gumball]

It sure looks like a bun to me! Two thumbs up.

Ah, I thought that maybe they'd be damaging or something. It is a bit uncomfortable, however. :/

well... they can pull and hurt when they come in and out, which is why most of us have special smooth sticks that we use... but writing utensils always work in a pinch :)

It's great!!!

Creative :D I used to laugh out loud when i saw the big haired girls at the uni doing this, but apparently it worked :) and it's a clever and comfy solution, when in urgent need of a hairstick...

I would consider it a bun like others :thumbsup: how did you made that bun? As i would also like to try out something which doesn't fall apart when i take shower like you.

very cute. I want to hold a pencil in my bun cause the idea makes me feel geekycool (I haven't tried yet).

[GlassEyes]

Looks like a bun to me! I'm sure there's plenty of people here that use writing tools to hold up buns.

[Silver & Gold]

I like it. This is a lot like what my buns look like. My hair isn't very long but I can manage a twist similar to yours and it holds just fine for me.

[Krifantasy]

I very often use writing tools in a pinch. I just have to remember to bring them back to work the next day.

The bun looks very nice and secure as well.

[rhondalicious]

Don't feel bad about the pencils! I have often used pencils in my buns, then forgotten they were there and tucked more pencils over the back of my ears. The bun looks cute!

[Nyghtingale]

yep, that's a bun, a cute one too.

Yep. I certainly do.

Nice bun! :thumbsup:

I've used pencils, or pens when I don't have anything else to hold up my hair. Works fine for me. Congrats on the bun!

[rags]

Great bun! I think most of us have done the grab a pencil thing.

[Heavenly Locks]

Look at your nice BUN! :) :disco:

[Kiraela]

When I think I'm likely to forget a pencil when I'm going out, I'll tuck a short stubby one in my bun next to my sticks so that it can't be seen, but I can grab it if needed. My very first stick-bun, over two years ago now, was with a green mechanical pencil. I still have that pencil, as a matter of fact. Longest time I've ever kept one writing tool.

And it's definately a bun.

[yellowchariot]

Yes, cool! It reminds me of the "Top-Knots" Samurais used in battle! :luke:

[Ryanne]

Definitely. A nice one too. The first time reading about and messing around with buns and hairsticks I used a pencil too.

[Lady Mary]

It's a bun, looks great! :cheese:

[JamieLeigh]

That's cute!! I have no problems with using pencils as hairsticks. I used to do this in high school all the time, just to get it up out of the way. :p

Haha, that's what I thought. :)
